I could have sworn I tried it with a friend when it first came out, to no success, but apparently both ubers DO work at the same time. This obviously requires more coordination, and has a much larger chance of being wasted on a not-so-capable teammate. Keeping this in mind, I think I'd rather just uber a different teammate in most instances.

I'm starting to hate the medic achievements.  Not because they are hard or anything (i have most of them...  just need the last bunch)

The last match I played we had 6 medics (And I started maining medic a while back), and some dickhead comes in and starts swinging the Ubersaw in my face, and bragging about it, and he spent the next 3 rounds doing nothing but uber sawing people, and then a few more people from his clan came in and started doing it to.

So in short, My team had one or two competent medics (me and another guy), and 4 melee only medics.  Needless to say, my team began losing.  And I ended up muting half of my team. (they were all on the [syb] clan, or something like that), and all of thier communications were Oh, Oh 25%, Oh shit 75%, oh I have uber, I have uber and then they only ubered each other...

I'm sure most of them got all of their achievements in an achievement box match too.

Yea, I thought it was great when I started seeing all these medics around now that the achievements are out, but damn, it really brought the scrubs out of the woodwork. Seems people who have never touched the class are suddenly giving them a try, and trying to be "battle medics" by running around with either syringe gun or bonesaw for most the match. I've seen medics not even switch to the medic gun for the whole damn round. And this free weekend they just had probably got some more new people into the game, and interested in being a medic as well. I've had medic as my main since before the achievements, and I can definitely say that a lot of teams on a lot of servers are suffering because of it. One of my biggest gripes is that most the ones who DO use the medic gun, only heal one person the whole time, and keep the gun on him even if hes full on life, not under attack, and has several teammates near-death running around him yelling MEDIC.

I'm starting to like playing Medic now actually.  I mainly hang back healing, going to the frontlines more when I can uber.  I only really use my syringegun to recover life while retreating, and I just use the ubersaw to kill spies or wounded classes to get my uber back faster.  I also got all my achievements aside from Blast Assist ( I got it with friends on a private server after spending hours ubering soldiers that couldn't kill 5) the normal way.

so hey, pyros updates are coming next and meet the sniper also but is anyone here aware WHEN exactly and what achievements the pyros gonna have?

Its surprisingly hard to find info on these tf2 updates, I don't know if they just keep em under wraps so well or waht but all tf2 related news are rare or the same article recycled.

Apparently there will be a new axe that crits everytime it hits someone who is on fire but beside that I have no fucking idea.

Haven't really been playing this anymore all that much but I pop it out every once in a while.

Yeah, the "Axtinguisher" does half damage on a normal swing, and always crits when striking a flaming opponent.  Anyways, my brother just picked this up, so I'm wondering...

1:  Do you guys still play this every Sunday?
2:  If so, my brother is going to be joining us.
3:  What are some core tactics to teach him so he doesn't waste a player slot?

pretty sure nobody does sunday sunday sunday anymore but

1: spy check
2: don't be a hero as a medic
3: stand on the motherfucking point

Pyro update comes out THIS THURSDAY!

Theres rumors of a "hotgun" that doesn't do extra damage on crit, but instead sets people on fire.

man i still am not bored of this game

but

i would like to see some non desert maps like

a construction site in a city or

some crazy place like nepal or something

just something different and bad ass

well this was... fast.

I thought it would be at least till like 20th of July until they get this even close to being out but whoa, cool.

Also there is a custom map that is basically a construction site sorta, its apparently a port of some CS map and its called Cp_Vertigo, its a half-finished skyscraper and from what I've played its fairly good map too.

Too bad its not very common though.

new character video release "meet the sniper"

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PyNuriXG3BQ

its pretty good

You stopped playing, Sarevok? D:

Yeah CTF_turbine is one of the maps which is a shame because it's bad

That knockback/reflect rockets thing pyros are getting on the standard flamethrower sounds fun as hell

Those new achievements are like 4350x times easier/less tedious to get.

Yeah they are. I think they don't want the same situation as when they released the medic ones where every team had 5 or 6 hero medics running around with their bonesaw and healing nothing.

Especially since everyone hates pyros anyway.
