Medic Madness

[Groo]

So, I'm not sure whether the Medic achievement to get new weapons was a good idea, but it sure is changing the game play =) Defending in Dustbowl where everyone has their own personal medic is awesome!

Also a really nice feature, is as a pyro when you come across a group of "achievement" medics, it's like shooting fish in a barrel, especially with all the medics we have defending I can have an uber the moment I get to the battlefield. Of course, it is hard to chase all 8 medics down when there is so much fire everywhere.

It's no longer the TF2 that I enjoyed playing just a few days ago, but some parts are extremely hilarious. Gone are the days when you had to cry Medic! Hello to the days where you gotta keep the Medics on task (ie winning the game =)

Medics were often underrepresented as a class before. This sure fixed that problem!

For how long though?

until the next series of achievements/ unlocks are available for the next class

The medic probably needed this boost, but I think that after time, the teams will become more even again. I do agree that teams generally lacked an adequate number of medics (but that is just through my own game experiences). I haven't played the game yet since the update but I seriously hope that the team-based element that makes the game successful isn't compromised by players that set their sights on those shiny new weapons.

once the other achivements come out.. everything will go back to the old way. but that will be in a year xD

I was playing in some random server earlier today.. nothing but medics except for me and another guy. Wonderful, wonderful times.

Earlier today it was me, and four other non-medic players. Everyone else was medics (32 player server) Oh man, we got so many kills.

Except the medics on our team weren't healing us, no matter how many times we yelled medic. Which is rather annoying. All well, for now this is kind of a fun change, helped balance out my favorite character (pyro) (Well, balance in a certain sense...) And in a few weeks, things will go back to the way they were before.
