No, a good medic can be a team supporter AND a attacker at the same time. Certainly the medic's health packs can be used to heal himself as much as teammates, and the medic doesn't have any gun restrictions.

The point here is that the medic supports better than attacking, mainly because assaults do this much better with his skills, and the medic's protective aura and reviving boost is essential to the team's survival. Besides, most of the time, when you are engaged in the fray, you tend to forget your teammates, who may and will die much easier without you. of course, if you can get to your team, revive them, heal them up and then dive back into the fray, supporting yourself and your team, then yes, it does work, but one guy can't really manage that much. if you can, congratz.
