Yes


Just played my first game since the update. Absolutely dreadful, its no longer a team game as everyone is playing medic, trying to spam all the achievements. Back to EVE and CoD4 for a while methinks.

Great, and us who have played as medics since the beginning will get lost amongst the noobs who want the 'ZOMG NEW WEAPONS' :rolleyes:

Il go pyro then and BBQ the medics
 
Was rather funny on dustbowl with the amount of medics, made it prime Heavy territory.

Nothing a few stainless steel barrels to the head can't fix :D
 
last time i played tf2 was mutch better new weapons suck basically same power as old ones nothing fancy piro for some reason really underpowered basically it suck big time
 
Some of you lot should really read up about this >.>



This was the first of several updates for each class! Medics got their new unlockable weapons.

Now that theyre pretty much done with the medic, theyll start working on another class and eventually all classes will have new weapons.

:confused:
I think everyone has a perfectly good clue of what the update entails, and what future ones may include.

Engineers are apparently next, but it took them months to get the medic ones out. To make this work properly though they needed to release several at once, its not a game anymore so much as a grind and medic spamfest.

Punctuation?

Update is nice. New map is awesome and the new medic weapons are not overpowered. All very well

The reaction to the update- i.e medic spamming and everyone cheating is a bit of a shame.

It will take some time for people to get used to the weapons. I used the critzcrieg a bit and whenever I ubered someone, e.g a soldier far away from a sentry gun, they would treat it like a normal uber and just charge!

Apparently Pyro is next in line for updates, someone took a look at the new files for the update and there were hints that Pyro was next.
 
Well Pyro is pretty underpowered at the moment so it deserves it.

As a soldier I cannot remember the last time a Pyro got me, although combined with the new Medic crit ability it's a bit nicer.

According to some posters on the Steam forums, Valve have confirmed its Engineer. I'll believe it when I see it though, it'd be terrible, everyone setting up sentries :(

Yeah it might well be, this was just speculation from the content of the update files:

Now, Steam keeps most of it's content in packages called .gcf. If you get a program such as GCFscape, you can open one up and poke around inside. the one that concerns us today is a file found in the Team_fortress_2_contant.gcf, in tf/resource/tf_english.txt. This text file contains almost all of the display text in the game, the map descriptions on the chalkboard, the words that pop up when you look at a player, ETC.

What matters to us is a block of the text a fair ways down in the document. This section lists information about total completed achievements somewhere in the game. The first part is as follows:


"Achievement_Group_All" "All (%s1 of %s2)"
"Achievement_Group_0" "General (%s1 of %s2)"
"Achievement_Group_1400" "Medic Pack (%s1 of %s2)"
Click to expand...

The "All" section is the combined total of the Medic achievements and the General achievements that are already released. In this, we can see that Valve has already inserted a fair amount of back-end for the coming update, as they said they would. But the most interesting result of this investigation is the final line of the block.


"Achievement_Group_1600" "Pyro Pack (%s1 of %s2)"

Exactly. To same the game is ruined after playing for a hour on the day of release is pretty silly. It'll balance out soon enough.

I'l D/Ling now :cool:
 
Just tried a few gold rush games, would have been fun I guess if half of each team weren't medics. Guess ill try it again in a week or so when thats died down.
