Guys, Valve has now revealed the details of all the Medic unlockables:
jesus, how much more broken can the medic get. fuck valve for releasing info. just get that shit out asap
I can see myself using the The Blutsaugher and Ubersaw way more…good shit!
wow. that sounds awesome.
That is insane. Please release soon.
Well yeah, since there’s basically no real negative to using these over their original weapons. Can’t crit with Blutsaugher? What kind of negative is that considering Medics don’t rack up the crit generator. From the description of Ubersaw, there’s zero negative to using that over the original Bonesaw.
Valve said that these new weapons are more like alternates than replacements. They’re not doing a good job with those two in particular. The critzcreig on the other hand I’ll give them props because there will be times critz>uber and uber>critz depending on the situation as you can imagine.

Probably the Ubersaw does no crit damage in exchange for ubercharging…
My predictions…
My aim is horrible with the syringe gun…but it’s better than the original. I can deal with the crit loss. It also means I have to learn to runaway more.
100% crit vs Invinciblity…I see this working defensively rather than offensively. Imagine a pyro/medic Crit D…drool. Here’s a situation: Say I Crit-charge a Demoman, and he places stickies on point, does that mean the stickies stay crit after the charge wears off?
I will abuse this wepaon…
Yeah, I think either the ubersaw will either not do crit hits or it may not do any damage at all. I def. like the Blutsaughter, it will make dealing with those pesky Scouts and Pyros a lot easier.
Critzcrieg, I agree w/ Geese Pants, def. seems like it can be used as a defensive tool moreso than offensive. Need to do some testing when they’re released and find out if you can hit a teammate w/ both uberguns at once. I think that would make Pyros pretty much the best choice for taking out turret groups on dustbowl. One medic uber, one medic crit, Pyro drops in and takes out the engies/sentries in about 3 seconds and then rushes around the point to clear out all the stragglers by just barely tagging them with the flamethrower. Crit flamethrower takes out everyone except heavy and soldier in like 2 quick hits, it’s ridiculous.
Ubersaw seems cool, but I dunno, if you get caught up in the mix of things it’s nice to have Crit Sawblade, you can mow people down really quickly with that in a tight area. Example:
I was playing a game on ctf_mach4, a custom map that I’m sure most of you have played if you play on custom map servers. I was in the sewers as a demoman; had a heavy and medic with me. So we go into their sewers and come across a heavy/medic team. Their heavy dies, but the medic comes plowing through right after with sawblade a swingin’. There was literally nothing we could fucking do. The heavy on our team figured that the medic was going to run away because their heavy was dead, so he stopped revving his chaingun. Medic takes me out first with a crit sawblade, then takes out OUR medic with a crit sawblade, then lands two more and takes out the heavy – all before we knew wtf was going on.
So regular sawblade DOES have its uses. If that medic had the ubersaw, he probably would’ve been dead. I just don’t see there being that many opportunities for a medic to be running around meleeing people trying to build up ubercharge. It could be useful on defense if you’re running around spychecking or melee battling a scout or demo, but I dunno. I’ll have to see how I feel about it, at least it’s the last one to unlock, as I’m the least excited about this one.
OMG, if 100% crit and Invinciblity can be stacked…on a class like Pyro…GGPO Dustdowl Defense.
That’ll just be some broken ass Uber rushes I’ll tell you that…especially on point maps.
I should be playing this weekend. Sorry I haven’t joined up with you guys, I haven’t even had a chance to play it yet.
Some of those achievements do seem very hard to get, I expect you’d have to setup a game just to do some of them.
I wonder if they’re going to retroactively add in your stats. There’s like 10 or so of those I know I’ve done already.
Wow, didn’t realize so many SRK people played.
I’ll boot it up this weekend, it’s just been sitting around on my pC.
oh wow. Those achievements sound hard. They’ll take forever to get. But yeah, I’m sure some people will set up games to get them in order to get the new weapons and stuff.
I’ve been busy so I haven’t played in about a week. I’m really itching to play TF2. Hopefully this weekend I’ll be able to get some games in.
How often does the TF2 SRK group play? All of the people I use to play with got burned out on the game so now I’m alone 
Wow…adding new classes?
I don’t think it’s necessary, but whatever.
And props to Valve for bringing recognition to the medic. I’m most comfortable playing the Medic than the other races.
I hate being the only medic on 12 vs 12 matches because too many players keep calling for medicharge…and most of them are already at full health. Then they bitch when I heal someone else that actually needs it. Stupid scout players are fucking annoying to heal…STOP RUNNING WHEN I’M TRYING TO HEAL YOU! I just let them die if they continue running.
Looks like I’ll stick to medic for a while, but I can tell you this…I’ll probably won’t get the ubersaw for a while. :sad:
^agreed on the medic bit. It’s very annoying looking for the person that just called medic only to find that he’s at full life -_-
I don’t think I’ve played with the SRK group as of yet…:shake:. Let’s make something happen.
I know…and reading the 1up article fired me up. I consider myself a compotent Medic…a good medic actually.
If I’m not playing a match, I’d be down for some games with SRK, maybe get some creative teamwork going.
Yeah, 10 million healing points is most likely the most time consuming task. If it’s retroactive and counts the healing points you’ve done since you bought the game to now, that’d be much easier, although I just checked and I only have a little over 1 million. The rest of them you could arguably have people working with you to get them.
