Probably, but you get the point just for instantly dropping the kit and having some wounded dude (never in short supply) pick in up.

It works the same for the support class with their ammo packs.

Meanwhile over in engineer land, I have to spend one full minute restoring 2 full wrench bars worth of stuff. The only time I've ever gotten points for repairing things was during a single player game where some glitch prevented the artillery from being repaired and I spent 5 minutes and three full wrench bars trying in vain to repair it.

That's happened in multiplayer actually, I think it is just some artillary condition where you have to spend a while repairing it before it becomes functional again, then it'll still be bottomed out of health so you have to continue to repair it to full health (or just leave).

The medic's profession can be enjoyed in the middle of fun combat, while the engineer is limited there unless he's with a giant vehicle convoy (good luck getting friendly vehicles to stick together).

This is true, the engineer isn't as useful for maps where you don't need tons of vehicles or repairing (like that map with the construction site and big ass TV station building, which is an awesome map) and where you might want to go for long distance shooting. Then again when you want close combat, the engy is just fine with the Jackhammer unlocked.

Question: For some reason it's not displaying the tiny grey text in the bottom left telling me when I kill someone or who killed me anymore. Did I accidently hit some button to disable it? How do I get it back?

It shows up in the middle left for me.
