Yea i was in a server where half was medic not to much fun. I like Goldrush. It is pretty fun. Already have a few of the achievements after only playing 40 mins. I played in a server where this kid already had the bonesaw achievement, I was like wtf?!?!

Ok, I'm definately gonna need some help from the VGChartz community for some of these achievements. We gotta plan a night where we all get on an crank them out

Are there any threads about a vgchartz group? I'd love to get everyone into a steam community and play together with you guys

Yea there is a sticky thread at the top of the PC forum with peoples steam names.  I guess its up to the person if they want to make a group.

So the cons of the update are that every game features at least 5-6 medics, several of which are doing random things simply to get the achievements.

The pros of the update are that this makes it real easy for nonmedics to perform great :).

The new level's great, though I'll probably stick with dustbowl.

I played about 2 hours on goldrush and I can say Valve really did degisn this map with all 9 classes in mind. There are plenty of Sniping spots, Spy hide spots, Sentry spots...Pretty much all classes have a use unlike Dustbowl where Scouts are useless and RED goes demo/engi fest.
Map design has lots of varaety from open spaces (I got a new record with Scout today!) to cozy buildings and multiple routes giving lots of ways to play this map.

After the disappointing additions of ctf_well and cp_badlands, Valve pulled off a excellent map with goldrush.
When the goldrush hype wears down, I'm guessing pub servers are gonna be something like
30% dustbowl
30% goldrush
20% 2fort
5% gravelpit
15% the left over official maps & custom maps

Not a fan of the medic changes. Some of the achievements will be nigh-impossible for a regular player but all will be cake for clans.

Adding an RPG element to a well-balanced FPS is a terrible idea...

5% gravelpit? I love gravelpit, that needs to be at least 20% of my time anyway.

I got the first milestone more or less honestly, and then farmed the second one. As good as doing things "honestly" felt, going on an empty server with 5 friends, figuring out how the achievements work, taking turns in getting them, and constantly communicating was the most fun I've had with a game in ages. The third is going to take a while because of the 1M healing points, though...

Congratulations to Valve for inventing an interesting new gameplay mode like Achievement Farming! I can't wait for the next mission pack. =P

At least Parokki has fessed up to farming. Who else here has done that as well?! *Raises hand then leaves thread*
