Loading ...Tf2 Medic Updates.
Big_Adam
If you know me, you know I like my Tf2 rather allot. Hell, just take a take a look at my stats page.
So, with my Tf2 love I like to keep upto date and check out new updates (even if every other fecker doesn’t!).
Anyway, to my point. Steam are finnaly going to do a big update for the game which has a load of new stuff for the medic. If you ever play medic it can get a bit annoying. People use you as a human shield, weapons are crap and people bitch if you don’t heal them the second they scream “MEDIC!”.
The updates hope to remedy this. The biggest thing is that the good old medic is getting some new weapons instead of the stock ones. The new weapons are:
The Blutsaugher
For players that earn one third of the 36 new medic achievements, they will be given a new syringe gun. Called “The Blutsaugher,” this new weapon no longer has the ability to score critical hits against an opponent. Instead it will draw health from enemies each time a syringe hits. Especially useful as a weapon to retreat away from the fight while staying alive.
The Critzcrieg
Once a medic has earned two thirds of the achievements, they will be granted “The Critzcrieg.” This new medigun uses its ubercharge not for invulnerability, but to give its recipient 100% chance to fire critical ordinance. Medics and the player they are charging need to be careful though, because as much fun as it is to fire critical rockets as fast as you can, the other team will see what you’re up to and try to put a quick stop to your plan.
The Ubersaw
For the determined medic that has earned all 36 of the new achievements, they will find themselves the proud owner of “The Ubersaw,” which will take damage done in melee attacks and convert it directly to ubercharge. Four hits with this new weapon will fully charge whatever medigun the medic has equpped.
As you can see (read, what ever) these weapons are unlocked via achievements (there’s talk of other ways but thats just rumours in the fluid ether so far). The new achievements are:
First Do No Harm: Play a full round without killing any enemies and score the highest on a team of 6 or more players.

House Call: Join a game that one of your friends is in and then deploy and uber-charge on him.
Bedside Manner: Be healing a teammate as he achieves an achievement of his own.
As you can see, some of them are F’ing impossible! Look at number 18, thats never going to happen in a regular game.
This is what I hate about unlock-able content. It’s all fine and nice off line but on-line your going to have a bunch of asshat players who are just trying to get their next achievement. Either be bunches of stat padding berks or griefer players who don’t do anything unless they get an achievement. The old achievements had that problem and they didn’t even get you anything!
Anyway, the update isn’t out for a while. I just hope and pray that it’s not going to ruin the game for 2-3 months even though it will.
Oh, here some pics of the new weapons. Got to say, the bone saw does look brutal.
Ya that what i like to hear, but a real release date, but also unlocks for the other classes aswell would really make it all that more special, plus with mod maps going about it always keeps me interested.
Well UrbanWarefare, there is rumours of new engiy gear coming about. Again, no real evidence or date but still it’s a new thing!
Hopefully it won’t completely ruin the game.
