Seriously, I tried to find a good game last night, and EVERYBODY is playing medic. It really sucks. The gameplay has really suffered because everybody is just "farming" for achievements and not focusing on teamplay.

I wish they had just released all the achievements at once...they you wouldn't have all this medic bs.

I enjoyed the frenzy of the first few hours of 90% medic teams. If it lasts longer than a week I'll be perturbed. If its just a 3 or 4 day period and then returns to normal I can live with it.

If you think it's bad with medics, just imagine when the sniper achievements come.

No, when the spy achievements come, that'll be epic lulz.

You are exactly right. I hadn't considered that.

Also, class restrictions should be implemented in servers as well.... to prevent all these freakin medics who don't care about teamplay- only unlocking their achievements.

Eh, it's a good time if you're a heavy. I almost always have an uber ready for me. Invuln Uber + Crit Uber means I can mow through most defenses. Probably the same thing if you're a soldier.

This has been absolutely hilarious. I love teams with 3/4s medics. Its almost impossible to die since they have so little firepower, and I can destroy hordes of them. I actually kind of want them to do the achievements one at a time.

pyro achievements => I'm going soldier.
sniper => i'm going spy.
spy => I'm going pyro.
heavy => i'm going sniper or spy
scout => engineer or heavy

The shitty one will be the engineer achievements. I think for that I will just grief and place my dispensors in front of friendly sentry guns.

engies may be sort of fun with a few spies/demos... what ill try to do is gather other engies and build a moving wall of sentries into their base as we destroy their sentries.

I wonder what the demo and heavy achievments will be, I would like a more powerful mini gun that holds the rounds he has straped to his chest.lol

normally yeah, but not when 75% of both teams are engies. Get an ubercharge, go kill 3 sentries. Uber runs out and you get killed by the other 3. Its going to be slow and boring. And thats assuming you can even get close with the knockback.

Yeah they fucked up releasing only medic achievements/weapons. They should have released everything or at least 2 classes.

that would increase the amount of farming and reduce the amount of actual game play taking place

Eh, I dunno. I think it would have had a minor detriment to gameplay for a longer period of time, as opposed to the one class at a time. If you released the achievements for classes that counter each other, like Demo, Scout, and Engy, the game would still be playable.

I'm pretty opposed to the idea of unlockable weapons. It's a goddamn FPS, not a momorperger.
