In the mod Project Reality there are 'collaborator' roles where one can play as a supposed civilian aiding the insurgency. The "US" team gets a penalty if they shoot this person while they have their hands in the air or not throwing rocks. The civilian gets a bonus if he dies as a martyr for the insurgency.

Otherwise he carries a medical kit, wall climbing rope and stones. This video is an example of people abusing the civilian role in the game though. I think they removed the near-infinite reviving system in the latest version.
