TF2 achievements question

[j0k3r]

Hey guys

Im new to TF2 and i was wondering if its even worth doing the achievements?
Also what would be the easiest way of doing them?


Thanx

Depends on whether you enjoy playing medic.

Samn's post pretty much sums it up.

Some of the achievements will take some time to get (more specifically, Chief of Staff, which requires you to heal 1,000,000 HP).

You can get a few of them with some friends, but it's not very easy on most of them. If you don't play medic that often, there's little point in it.

I have played TF2 since release, and I have about 250-300 hours totally played on all chars.

The normal achievements do absolutely nothing, except for give you some stats to boast about.
The medic pack achievements unlock new weapon upgrades for the medic. (There will be more packs like this for the other classes in future patches).

However, the Medic achievements are 1) a totall pain in the ass to complete, 2) some of them are literally impossible without a bunch of friends to help you (on both teams), and even then you'd be hardpressed or damn lucky to complete em all.

IF you unlock them, you will be rewarded with some totally bullshit weapons that suck major donkey balls, and you will realise that you just wasted shitloads of your, and your friends', time for nothing.

In short: don't ****ing bother.

edit: to answer your other question; the easiest way is to either have a horde of friends to help you, or join on of the few "medic achievement" servers.*

* These servers have a console command (charge) - go to console and type "bind f charge" - this will instantly fill your ubercharge to 100%, meaning you can be permanently ubered, and thus easier to complete some of the achievements. Keep in mind, this works for all players and most of the time the entire of both teams will be permanently ubered.

Some of the weapons can be useful (I think the Ubersaw kicks ass, personally).

Yh and as a soldier I prefer being ubered by the new medigun. But tbh, the new needlegun sucks fcking ass. If you're on the run and low on health, absorbing 3 health per hit isnt gnna do shit all...

There's 10 needles fired per second, 3x10 = 30, so you could get at maximum 30hp per second. Still think it's useless?

Problem with that is, you hitting 30 times without the damn Needlegun shooting stuff all over the place.
Personally, crits did absolutely nothing till after-game as a medic, so it wouldn't matter.

I have seen a couple medics, survive and kill Pyro's and Heavy's with the god damned Medigun. It take's quite the patience though to know when to fire it up.

[psyche500]

Quite sorry but I can SOLO heavys at distance with the new needle gun and have full HP at the end lol, even up close, same to pyros

[belink]

Killing pyros is easy with the old needlegun. Just run backwards from the Pyro whilst shooting needles. You are faster than every class except the Scout.

Kiling scouts is relatively easy too, you just might need to move a little more and possibly use the Bonesaw / Ubersaw.

I didn't consider doing the achievements, but this hack (http://www.mpcforum.com/showthread.php?t=224640) changed my mind
