Medics drop health if someone on their team has a high combat awareness level. With high combat awareness, your MAX HEALTH goes up, but NOT your spawn health.
So you may spawn with only 100 HP, but your MAX is now 125. Hit that health pack, and you have a 25 HP advantage over your enemy.
That the bots are intelligent enough to realize that is a Good Thing(tm).
Next time - you'll know to get out of that busy coverts way!
