I think instant for offense, 5 seconds for defense on dustbowl isn't too bad. It allows offense to make a charge but also gives people time to play without long waits.
I love the idea of new achievements, and lots of them! I loved the first few weeks when I was achieving things but having got most of them, there's not much fun there for me :(.
As for the weapons, I can't decide on them. The syringe gun seems useless since I've never really seen a medic get that caught in the fray that it would be worth trying to fight. Likewise, the uberblade is okay but really, I don't do too much up close combat so it's just good whe nyou find a spy. The critical charger is awesome though. Talk about an interesting debate. Heal your front guy or give him more damage?
