yeh, release date should be day of release....

It's been delayed till early next week.

We're aware, it was on the News thing when you open up Steam for Friday.

Not for me.

And wtf? New emotes again????

You had to hit next a few times, and Steam news browser only opens if you don't have Steam on startup (I think(. It's not in the regular news.

2:18 this morning our time...
IT CAME!!!!

Oh, so did I around that time also!

No, Aaron!

And yay, but apparently people are cheating all the achievements with a console command.

Maybe they should have delayed it like Microsoft did with XP Service Pack 3. Apparently there was a glitch at launch time.

Nah, there are console commands that let you do it, quite easy.

So this update hasn't really brought any more replay value to the game at all? Why bother sweating and working hard towards those achievements when a couple of commands are all you need to unlock them?
Epic fail on Valve's part there if you ask me.

I refuse to use the commands, I want to earn them. Hopefully Valve will patch it and reset the medic achievements to get rid of the cheats.

Well... I aided Simon in getting 2 of the achievements, and nearly 2 more ¬¬ But thet game spazzed out xD

We got to like 17 kills with assists for the Heavy/Medic combo, and we got 3/5 explosions with the Soldier xD

We got Blunt Force Trauma and something else... xD On the way I got 145 kills and just 31 deaths XD

My god I love TF2

I now have 23 of the achievements, just one more till I can play with the KritsKrieg!
(And then put it away cos its baad)

Nice one Si. I wouldn't say the Kritzkrieg is bad, just less versatile than a normal uber charge. It would work well in team games.

Heh, DHR, I never get that kind of KD, then again, I always play suicidal pyro ^^

valve have screwed up unbelieveable on this, maybe they were colluding with EA...

Given the amount of cockupedness, that's quite believable.

How? It gets more people playing the Medic class.... Even though you still end up with noobs who dont know how to jack crap Sit medicing each other ¬¬ GIve the people who can play as offensive classes some sort of back up please I only got that amazing KPD because Si and a guy called WarWolf (Who we saw get all 36 acheivements and now has the UberSaw) Were being amazing medics for the rest of the team.

1) update released late

2) update released didnt even stop ppl cheating using simple codes. this meant loads of ppl got it by CHEATING.

3) valvue sorted this, by taking awards off people who actually spent ages unlocking everything as well. this annoyed many ppl.

4) valvue sorted above problem, by giving ppl back a full set of medic awards if they did some acheivements. ppl who had only unlocked 1 or 2 of the items were awarded fully everything. other ppl who cheat by using code after unlocking one item also awarded full set of weapons etc.

5) some ppl still have medic unlocks in spite of cheating.

6) some ppl still DONT have medic unlocks in spite of working hard to get them.

7) updates should be released together as classes. NOW ppl spam the medic and do <LOOK MA, I AM SWEARING> all, making it a pointless game, e.g. u go scout and u get n00b medics rushing trying to kill u with the needle gun.

YAWN, it hasnt improved play, jst attracted more sillyness -.-

congrats valvue, uve screwed up IMO (and many other ppls opinion)

1) What did you expect, it's Valve.

2-6) Sane point. They did screw up with this, but they've been trying hard to rectify it, and have done a good job.

7) Wow, I've been having a great time with all the medics around. Sure there are a few idiots, but it's good actually getting healed for once. I would like the other achievements now, but then again, we'd just have to wait longer and then you just get another 1, plus, they want to test it a bit with the community before going all out.

Great update.

i agree the update is gd, more medics is certainly gd from a team prospective.

however, medics jst doing the achievements rather than what is beneficial to team is VERY annoying.

also, valvue did screw up bt they have been working hard, they could have made it much easier for themselves however.

Play on the right servers. Most the medics I've seen have been playing properly with the occasional achievement spam (like synchronising the startup ubers to get the triple uber one.

i play on jarhedz and the firm ONLY, they are proper servers

Well I played on Jolt and TF (JH hadn't updated with GoldRush and noone was on anyway) and didn't really experience much terrible medicing, there were a few poor ones, but that was just people new to medic bad rather than whoring bad.
