Team Fortress 2 Update Information

[Spoony Bob]

Couldn't find a recent TF2 thread so...

A few weeks ago valve let on that coming along with the new medic achievements there was going to be a "large-scale modification" in tow as well in the coming update. Apparently that's a bit of an understatement.

Starting with the medic and eventually (lol valve is slow) making their way to the other classes are new unlockable weapons. The current intent for the medic's new weapon is to be a medigun that doesn't just boost a teammate's HP by 50% for a short time before wearing off, but instead permanently double their health at the cost of nerfed ubercharge gain rate (they're considering making it so the gun can't uber at all). The other medic weapon wasn't revealed yet, but both weapons are going to require completing achievements.

Also in the works are a new game mode concentrated on escorting an object from point A to B by getting close to it. The more Blue near the object, the faster it goes, but completely stops when a Red gets in range.

Is this awesome y/n? Like I needed more reason to play TF2.

This is awesome, I choose Y.

[Epyslon]

This is awesome. I already play medic a fucking shit ton so this gives medic a great boost in performance. It also makes it easier for noob medics

Overhealing won't save them from a spy!

I think this will make a great game even better. Im not a big fan of meaningless achievements (beyond bragging rights) so adding unlockable weapons is a good addition. I really enjoy the game now but my brothers biggest complaint is that "every job uses a shotgun." This should help give each job a unique feel. I am excited about the new maps and also the new game style.

"And to earn the new Medi-Gun, you need to unlock the 'With friends like these' achievement!"

[Lyramion]

I am playing TF2 a lot and I welcome everything that will bring some fresh air in!


Even tho there should be a "classic" mode option to just play the game as it is atm since its rly well balanced just a bit worn out for me.

[Jotaru]

Wowow I heart this. I fking love TF2 as it is, more = omg.

[Quixotic]

Still need the stupid "friends" achievement

The new objective map sounds really cool too, and i wish they announced hints of what they had planned for other jobs too.

[Myst]

awesome!

Me too. I've had that and Sentry Gunner for like... three months now. Its getting ridiculous. Especially given how many 9 kills I get with my Sentry (without exaggeration, honestly, I've probably gotten 9 kills 50 or so times now, and not once have I gotten 10... its honestly been that bad). We oughta get our BG group on Valve all into a game sometime to get that achievement, I have a ton of friends but it seems like they always sleeping!

No.

Keeps the 'tards away from my job.

DON'T MAKE IT EASY THAT MAKES IT LESS FUNNNNNNN AND FULFILLING~

[Grievear]

I have everything except the friends one. We should set a date and time to let a bunch of people get it. I'm sure we can find 8 people on these forums to help out.

Yeah, that'd be nice. I'm tired of having one achievment incomplete. :<
