Yeah, there’s a difference between unlocking it and having all 3 unlocked within 10 minutes of the patch’s launch though. In the scheme of things, not a huge deal, but it is lame.
That said, despite the Scout’s unlocks I think some good Heavy + Medic teams (armed with Natascha) are going to have a field day racking up kills.
I got on for a couple minutes last night and it was madness, even more than the medic or pyro update. I barely played scout, and decided instead to ruin their fun by getting a minimum 3 to 1 kill ratio as a pyro. What’s not to love about a bunch of scouts all grouped together, ready for roasting?

People got to hear a lot of class-specific scout death taunts last night… they fit the character so well.
[INDENT]Here’s a schematic for ya… my ass!
I’m owning you, you fat bald fatty fat fat-fat!
Repeat after me: mmm mmm mmm mmm I’m dead.
Depth perception, pal. Look into it.
You camped the whole time for THIS?
Heeeey, look! Ya shape-shifted into a dead guy!
Oooo-hoo-hoo! Your gun shoots medicine! It’s intimidatin’.
[/INDENT]Has anyone seen the Sandman taunt-kill work? I’ve heard it takes quite a while to complete the animation… but I can’t test it, as I only got four or five achievements last night.
Also, Shellfishguy, feel free to hit me up on Steam.

The second has both a Vince Offer and Mario reference. Nice one Valve. Nice one.

Do you guys run into a lot of medic hate online? I usually try to be a medic, and I was playing on this one server and all I heard was about how medics are just portable dispensers, ect… it was disgusting. :)
Hmm, let’s see… heavies and scouts are assholes, demos are overpowered, engies and pyros and snipers are noobs, spies are broken… nope, nothing about medics.

I bet if Valve looked at the game data, they’d find a decent correlation between the team that had the most medics and the team that won the round. Even if 1/4 the team is medics it doesn’t feel like you have too many, at least on pub servers.

Valve agrees. From the TF2 blog:
This time it seems a number of you used an external application to unlock all of your achievements in order to get items unfairly. Coming as a surprise to no one with the ability to retain memories of the recent past, I have taken these items from the perpetrators for one week.

Thanks for posting Sluggo. That whole entry is absolutely hilarious.

All the scouts running around on a public server last night was fun. I was consistently the high scoring player as scouts failed dismally to dodge rockets, or alternately, get mown down by a sentry gun.
It is quite disheartening though that some people have already got all of the unlocks for the scout. Whatever happened to earning achievements?
I saw a mob of scouts all clumped up shooting a sentry with their pistols. Ahh, achievements, how you screw up games.
With three scouts we were able to gun down the engineer while he attempted to repair the sentry we had gotten a beat on with our combined pistol fire. Taking down the lone sentry after that was easy.

When this achievement thing started, I was pretty disgusted with the games that immediately followed and I stopped playing for a bit. Now, whenever a new one comes out, I focus on the achievement pack before it and I find it goes much better.

Yep. Finally got the third unlocks for heavy and pyro hosing down scouts.

getting a bit frustrated…
I wait 15s to spawn.
Take 20s to run to the front line.
get beaned by a Bonk as i turn a corner.
2 shots into me while I wait for the stun to wear off.
I wait 15s to respawn…
Repeat ad-infinfuckingitem.
Developers, don’t fucking put crowd control in my fps games please.
Ah, the mistake was clearly made when he decided to load the game
How is that any different from getting sniped?
