Hydrogen 05-01-2008, 01:59 PM 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.
DeaconBlues 05-01-2008, 04:01 PM 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.

Slasho 05-01-2008, 04:06 PM If you think it's bad with medics, just imagine when the sniper achievements come.
freight_train 05-01-2008, 05:03 PM 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.
scandal 05-01-2008, 06:20 PM 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.
CarpeIppon 05-01-2008, 06:37 PM 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.
CarpeIppon 05-01-2008, 07:31 PM demo is going to be bad too. but not as bad as engies.
HaPpY 05-01-2008, 08:37 PM 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.
HypnosisFX 05-02-2008, 05:11 AM 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
shaka_zulu705 05-02-2008, 11:00 AM just go to an achievement server to get it out of the way

i meant that demo is the counter to the engi swarm
CarpeIppon 05-02-2008, 12:46 PM i meant that demo is the counter to the engi swarm
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.
u can usually spam them down from a distance
SINep 05-02-2008, 11:46 PM 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
CarpeIppon 05-03-2008, 03:10 PM 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.
PyroTeknik 05-03-2008, 10:31 PM I'm pretty opposed to the idea of unlockable weapons. It's a goddamn FPS, not a momorperger.
