TF2 has gone down after the update

well really iam a freak for the game but after the update the game just s*cks and really speaking all either are playing on the gold rush map which is just plain and simple a bad map for me

all ppl rushing after a damn bomb

1 more problem is that ppl play as medic and all servers which were dust only have gone goldrush

i hope ppl start playing as other classes also and not just medic

things like this always happen with the release of new content.....

Everyone just wants to try all the new things that have been added....It will go back to normal soon, after people get bored.

Yeah, it does suck - AFTER THE WHOLE FRICKIN TEAMS GOES FRICKIN MEDICS AND CHARGING IN WITH THEIR FRICKIN MELEE WEAPONS FFS!

It's ridiculous. I'ma sniper, though, and Goldrush provides me with some great sniping spots. :D

Yeah, once everyone has played Goldrush to death, they will go back to their usual 2fort/Dustbowl grind - though, personally, I think Goldrush is easily as good as 2fort and Dustbowl, and I can see myself playing it as much as, or more than, all of the other maps and game modes.

As a heavy, I especially love all the choke points.

And the medic will become old hat the moment the next class(es) get updated. But, as a heavy, I have to say that I'm loving having 4 or 5 medics available to me pretty much all the time.

Just sucks that half of them spend half their time trying to shoot scouts instead of healing me.

i love sniping 2 in that map but really the map is not that good if u ask me

also the problem is that iam not use to all the areas of the map so its a bit difficult coping up as an engi if u dont know the spots that well

i really hope ppl go back to dust and play 30 player dust as i used to play to death

lets hope everything turns to normal and i really hate the fact that medics rush with the bonesaw now whenever they see me coming instead of healing thr teammates

I just finished my achievement, but I got lucky, I meet up a nice clan that helped me. But, Yeah, I agree the update is crap, almost impossible if you don't cheat it (by going in server for achievement only for example)Franko_3

i really dont see the reason for such an update

it was like uncalled for and also making gold rush map so much more important

the thing is instead of a team game the game has became a damn medic achievement unlocker

many ppl cheat i know but really for wat just a dam,n tag that they unlocked pscho medic achievement

wtf is wrong with dev and gamers who have fallen to such a fake thing as achievement

the thing is instead of a team game the game has became a damn medic achievement unlockerparaskhos_basic

You do realise that that won't last long, right? As soon as the other classes get their achievements and weapons (which might be a matter of days from now - who knows?) everything will go back to normal. People will go back to playing their favourite classes.

Chill out. After two weeks all the achievement farmers will have their fill and everything will return to normal +1 new cool map :)Baselerd

Dont know what your talking about. I played about 6 hours total in 2 days (Not in Medic-Achievement Server). Got 2/3 of the achievements only to have the weapons. And I dont really play medic. So all the achievement farmers should be done in 4 days tops.

Think of all the clans and friends that made their own servers, thats pretty much will give em 3/3 in 2 days.

Not everyone completely lacks a life and has the time to farm 2/3 the achievements within a day or two of release. Some people will be farming for a little while longer.

I didnt ask you if you had enough money to buy an 8800gt. And you being here since 2003 just proved my point.

For others (No achievements): Go play on goldrush, easy map for achievements. Join a friends game (and uber him), get uber before game begins, have ur friend take damage from 4 people. Thats 3 easy achievements right there. If hes a heavy, have him punch two people (Doesnt have to kill, just punch). Just make sure you read the achievements and understand what each one means.

Wow, I can't believe there are people who actually don't want free post-release support...I mean, I know you can't please everyone, but that one's mind-boggling.

Honestly, I've always been one of two classes - sniper or medic. If I had to pick a third, it would be engineer. I'm having fun with the update and while there are quite a few medics playing while the update's still fresh, that will stop in a week or two. Most of you guys are blowing these issues out of proportion.

I wish badlands was played more often. :'(Baselerd

Indeed. It's kinda funny actually, because before Badlands was released, I was sooo hyped for it! Then when I actually played it for the first time, I was like, "Wow... this kinda sux." Now it's my favorite map so far (besides Gold Rush)! But anyway, right now Gold Rush and Badlands are tied for my favorite map. I don't see why so many people hate them... >_>

I agree completely. The new update is great and it is a blessing that we have a great company like Valve pushing out new content for free. Things will go back to "normal" in a couple of weeks but I still think Goldrush will be widely played like 2fort and dustbowl because it is just an awesome map and gamemode.

i really dont hate the update but how the dev have gone for the achievements over gameplay

360 have provoked dev to use achivements as a selling point and i know now after seing the update that it is really a selling point

i really would have liked some overall addition to weapons to all classes just giving achievements for 1 class means all will be playing that class

also i think instead of achievement the company should try to get more maps and content

My opinion of the update and achievements have changed in the span of two days drastically. On the day it was released it was apparent that PC gamers were not used to the idea of achivements and unlocking things. Either they unlocked the weapons thru console or teams were filled with medics that healed medics and waited with their uber ready for god knows what. I have a 360 and I have played some online games and I have to say never even upon the release of the game did I see such achivement w%#@in.

But the first day passed and when I logged on my favorite server ( i only play on 1...it makes things easier) all was well or actually better than well. The limit of 4 medics on one team was implemented and things were going surprisngly smoothly. It was a completely different game really, less chaotic more strategy involved. Medics were doing great and making the game even more exciting. The outcome was very different sometimes. One time a team destroyed the other in one fell swoop at others the battle waged with points being taken and reclaimed multiple times and its all thanks to medics. Before the update youd be lucky to get 2 medics on a team now all is well.

i realize that things on live is more settled coz from start the achievements were there so there is not much problem there but the PC gamers as new to it have became like crazy for the achievement which is really sad

also i feel the best way to get rid of this medic mania is that we should have servers make a limit to medic or for that matter any class and everything would be cool
