TF2 Medic Achievements Released
Anyway, the new Medic Achievements and Unlockables that we have been foaming at the mouth over for the past few months were released yesterday and they are sure a bag of fun. Personally I couldn't care less about the Ubersaw but the new Needle Gun and the Kritzkrieg really kick ass.
Valve says they are planning on releasing the rest of the classes Achievements and Unlockables soon but we'll see how that actually goes!
I love the new medic stuff.

The Ubersaw is actually my favorite of the new items, and I'm not a huge fan of the Kritzkrieg - mostly because other players are idiots and don't know how to work with medics.
I was more excited about pl_goldrush tbh, I'm already making my own pl_ map.

Stop playing with noobs, tbh. Find a good non-pub server and stick with it, you'll find awesome teamwork.
Or just join MSleeper in his 32-man 24/7 Warpath games. (I believe my comment was that I'd rather stick my dick in a vise.)
Also, viz the medic unlockables: I'm still kind of unsure that I like the way you have to get all of the achievements to get the items. I guess I'm just not hardcore enough, but some of the tasks just seem pedantically difficult.
Essentially, my beef is with having an incentive to participate in non-game activities (grinding achievements) as a part of the game. Perhaps this is anomalous, but last night, in the hour I spent away from exam studying to play goldrush, we lost on offense because the three medics on our team were all hanging out near spawn, healing a soldier while he rocket jumped pointlessly, so they could get their "Medical Prevention" achievement.
That seems distinctly unsporting.
I also think that the Medic is probably the "worst" in terms of jumping through hoops to get things done, since effectively all of your achievements require you to have the participation of another player. I don't see this being as much the case with the other classes.
, all legit
I'm looking forward to unlocking the blutsauger, I think it will save my arse just enough times to be usefull and the critzcrieg will probably come in handy too, not sure about the ubersaw though...
Now they've done all the back-end work the next set of achievements and unlockables will come sooner, They will probably do two or three classes together next time, help counter the "oooh I want achievements...<everyone plays the same class and breaks the game>" spam
But the multiple classes idea does make a lot of sense. But first, I'd like to see the engi get some love all by himself. Not because I'm a big fan of the engi, but just because I want to see the 12 v 12 games where everyone is an engineer.
Cue the Yakety Sax.
Aside that, people have been cheating. I did! But just to see the new weapons, and then I reverted back, theres a console commands to just unlock the weapons until TF2 is exited. However Valve took away those commands yesterday.

I am fairly certain that they tracked who used those commands and that they are 1.) reverting any achievements gained with them, and 2.) locking people out from ever getting them. So I'd be wary if you tried to get some of the new ones and you're stuck with the old Medic forever.
I used the cheat and now I can get achievements really easy cause the bar stayed full so once I get once more on Iget it. Im happy.
My patience is wearing thin at this point.

Because the point of playing TF2 is to get achievements?
While we're at it, let's start a gamerscore thread!
Sorry if I come across a little jaded, but it seems that everyone has gone completely apeshit over the achievements of late.
tl;dr:
Play to have fun.
EDIT: Hilarity to provide balance for cynicism:
2: yeah seriously. who the fuck cares. where you playing the game BEFORE the achievments? now. tacos angst i can understand but shit he didn't say he was going to stop playing. just that he was pissed. and i can understand that.
