It's merely achievements and as we've seen from the ones we have already, the achievements are there to encourage the player to know the basics of the game such as Head of the class. What I like about the new medic one is that it not only requires you to get to know the medic class (with the achievements) but it also gives a new way to play rather than completely upgrading the medigun. One thing that might get me a bit distressed is that a fully charged sniper headshot kills anything. With a 600HP heavy, I don't think even that will kill them.Lucien wrote:

on the other hand, you only need achievements for these unlocks, and it was probably Valves idea that gradually giving players a full arsenal would be a good way to have them learn the game.
Of course, the unlocks themselves are fucking awesome.
It concentrates the action around one point, keeping it intense and frenetic, but that point is constantly moving. That means the tactical landscape is constantly changing, Engineers have to rethink their Sentry positions as the cart grinds forth, and everyone has to adapt constantly as they play. And crouching alongside the cart, using it as a piece of mobile cover from enemy snipers as it crawls along agonisingly slowly, is hilarious.

It kills a 450 heavy, so a fully charged hs and another hs will kill it.Fat_Swinub wrote:

Valve are actually the one company that when there's a real imbalance, they'll know about it and more importantly, they'll fix it.Ned_Z wrote:
This is stupid. WHY UNLOCKS!!!!
I wish they wouldnt go into the unlock crap...
Im a hardcore Tf2er... and I can play for hours without unlocks... The game is gonna be so unbalanced like the G36E and the Voss in the Battlefield series. I might quit if the game becomes unbalanced because of this stupid announcement. I wish there would be a way to change it back...
Im excited for the 2 new maps and the achievements... but definently pretty pissed off at valve for putting UNLOCKS in the game. Jeez...

Who cares about CSS, and still, it's very balanced and bugfree, I must agree, valve >>>>> EADoctaStrangelove wrote:
So DICE copies TF2's art style in BFH and Valve is going to copy BF2's unlock weapons in TF2.
Fair trade off.

So basically the Medic only gets the unlockables?heggs wrote:
I knew that they were adding more achievements for the Medic, and a couple maps, but they're also adding unlockable weapons.

Suckstbh. But, still cool. I still want the Demoman to get a shotgun, though.
