I've heard from some youtube vid, that the other classes unlocks and achievements are coming very soon. They said the only reason this one took so long was because of them having to make the lil unlock section. Any ideas anyone?

We know that they're going to come out a lot quicker than the Medic unlocks. They had to do all the backend stuff to get the system in place and now all they need to do is create new stuff for each class.

However.

Valve never ever release things 'very soon'. They said the Medic stuff was coming 'soon' in November. 'Very soon', and 'much faster' etc basically means months I reckon. At least 1.

I'd love a flood of new content, but Valve always playtest everything to death before they release it. I reckon it'll be relatively quickly before new stuff is out (compared to the medic stuff), but definitely not fast.

The number of times i've seen that link posted on the Steam forums is unbelievable. It's sadly completely true.

I see it has a bunch of new 'dates' from this update.

Indeed. Programming the back end stuff takes a long time, especially when your debugging and testing all the time. I can imagine how many tens of thousands of lines of code TF2 uses and if multiple guns was never intended in the first place and the game wasnt programmed in an OOD (apperently alot of games are programmed in a pretty procedural way) then adding new content involves reprogramming alot of the games code.

Making the gun models and things doesnt take nearly as long.
