Destroy 8 buildings with Demoman? Opponent team has to be retarded to cram 8 buildings nearby.

I always liked Valve but this...what the hell are they thinking.


 Medical Breakthrough: Assist in destroying 8 enemy engineer buildings with a single uber-charge on a Demoman.

Well, second map of Dustbowl, second capture point. 

I've been on teams where we (the defense) had four sentries and four dispensers in that corner against the wall.

A good demoman could probably do this if the defense had really dug in and built lots of buildings.

These achievements are meant to take a long time...and I'm sure you could uber a demoman and destroy 2 sentries, 3 dispensers and 3 teleporters in one uber if you really try...eventually.

Bet with disolitude: Left4Dead will have a higher Metacritic rating than Project Origin, 3 months after the second game's release.  (hasn't been 3 months but it looks like I won :-p )

Exactly what I was thinking.  Defenders love to just stack guns, dispensers, and teleporters behind that central building.  All you need is three engineers back there each with a gun, dispenser, and teleporter, and you've got 8 buildings.  Activate the uber, start lobbing stickies, and detonate.



FYI TF2 is $20 this weekend on Steam and I believe Circuit City...for anyone who hasn't gotten it yet.

Though I'm sure they'd be looking in this thread then...

Oh fun. Time to start playing TF2 again hahah.



Supposedly the big update comes this week, or "The week of April 20th"...so my guess is sometime after Wednesday.

I'm kinda worried this update will make half of all TF2 players go medic-only for two weeks straight, and goof around rather than try to play the game properly. They should've released at least two classes worth of stuff at the same time to at least screw the game somewhat evenly.

Then again, lots of Medics running around doing dumb stuff is a great chance for newbies like me to get some practice. =P

Oh yeah, and I absolutely love the new map. A single skilled played can single-handedly win most maps if the other team is screwing around, but this way teamwork is absolutely required, and even less skilled players can do something useful.



If everyone goes Medic...then that will leave room for people to completely massacre with offensive classes...it'll work itself out.

Lots of Medics isn't a bad thing (as long as they play normally)
I'm always the one that fills in the Medic so it'll be nice for me, I can play some attack classes now.



crappy old school NES games are more entertaining than next-gen games.
