I learned something new yesterday…never stand in front of my sentry repairing it while it shoots an enemy.
Shame on me…:shake:
Edit: And Jammar is an evil sniper when he’s on the other team…:sad:
Never stand still.
Do you guys have a server you regularly play on? If so, post the ip.
The only way I can see getting this achievement without actually playing is to have a soldier stander at a locker shooting himself all day while the medic stands and heals him all day. Than have both players tape down their left mouse button and leave it for a week.
I think a good medic player can get to 10 million heal points no problem…it will just take time. Yesterday I played Medic on Dustbowl and on one life I was able to get 10,000+ heal points and 7 ubers before getting gibbed. It involved alot of running away…
I think that the TOTAL heal points I’ve earned so far will be added to the achievement progress. If not…I will respond to Valve via brick mail.
Just like how after 6 months I finally got hardcore…I thought 1,000 kills was too much, but it takes time.
Killing time here…I added my own thoughts about each of the new Medic achievements coming out. These are based on how I regularly play as a medic.
I dont see how this is will be easy…unless assist kills do not count.
Suicide run to the enemy base.
Easy…
Too easy
Not as hard as I think it will be.runaway tactics, and heal anyone you can.
Predictable.
Easyafter a couple of days or so, because everyone else will try to beat me to it.
Suicide run to enemy territory.with uber ready. But would have to look out for Demo/Soldier crit before I hit it, so its a gamble.
Pathetic…
Heavy and Pyro are my best friends
Time consuming…
Time consuming
Fuck thatIm a sitting duck when Im with Heavy. The enemy player would have to be pretty fuckin scrubbish.
How can I do this if I cant keep up with the scouts speed? The scout would have to basically stand still…
Easy.especially if the enemies are bunched up together.
Crit charge > Invincible charge on this one…
Humiliation at its best.
Is this even possible? Crit > Invincible on this oneespecially if the buildings are bunched together.
Easy
Also easy…
Time consuming…not as much though.
Time consuming
Easy
Hell fuckin noI might as well uber and spend most of my time spychecking.
Forget this too
Focus on 10,000 heal points and do a 2 in 1…
Very time consuming…
Ill have fun doing this one
How is this done? Do I heal or uber the falling teammate? Ill try it out…
Easy
Too easybut risky.
Doable
I only have 5 friends on my list.I need more friends.
Too easy…work with my friends.
Best to work with my teammates on this one…so its easy.
So all in all, the achievements to me are not as hard as I initially thought. There are a few where I may end up “cheating” to get, but there’s only about 5 I see.
I can see myself getting the Blutsaughter fairly quickly, and the Critzcrieg shortly after. The Ubersaw will have to wait…
It’s not about how easy they are, it’s the fact that I’m formulating a method to knock out about 20 of those in less than an hours worth of work for 2 teams of 4.
Well…that way works too.
The crit thing isn’t going to help you kill 8 buildings, seeing as buildings do not take extra damage from critical hits.
Edit: and its very possible, I’ve done it on dustbowl
Wow…it’s really possible on one ubercharge?
In that case, how many grenades/stickies does it takes to destroy say, a Sentry?
I just got done playing on an “escort” mission server. Basically usermade goldrush style maps. It had the cart and everything, but one of them was too short and any decent offense could win it, one of them was way too long and had a few chokepoints that were nearly impossible to get past (we were stuck at one spot for about 15 minutes before we lost, trying all kinds of strategies/team combos to get by it), and another was simply impossible to get the cow (yes, cow - it was a farm stage) to the other barn because engies/soldiers/demos could get on the roofs and just spam the fuck out of you.
I like the idea, but I’m sure the actual Goldrush map is going to be a lot more fun since it’s official and Valve is good about making sure the sightlines aren’t too good. There’s no one spot engies can just setup and be safe, or spots where snipers are practically impossible to hit, or for demos to just spam you etc etc. I like the idea though.
Also, on these maps, cloaked/disguised spies could move the cart (and the cart didn’t dispense health/ammo either), but I assume that won’t be the case with the official map because user programs aren’t to the level of the official Valve ones.
3 stickys will kill a sentry just about guaranteed, as long as they are within a reasonable radius.
Geese Pants: Would you believe that during those times I had huge issues with my current mouse? I bought a new one today. My sniping should now go up 37%.
That’s a scary thought…:sad:
I was playing an escort map yesterday, and I have to admit…it was really fun.
As blue team, we spammed heavies/Medic ubers all day. 6 medics…the most I’ve played with on a server thus far. When we went red, 8 Engineers, snipers and pyro spammage.
I hope the official Goldrush map is much wider and open…
The official map(s?) will be a lot better. They actually try to think of sightlines and take everything into consideration when making maps so there’s nothing too powerful or one good spot to just sit in. The worst sufferer of this is Dustbowl section 3 after the first cap point, but even then you can get behind the enemy by going through the sewers. Also, it wouldn’t be such a problem if so many servers didn’t have a shorter/no timer spawn for defense. Those servers are really scrub/noob friendly especially on dustbowl because you can go get killed and you respawn in 0-5 seconds, so you’re right back in the fray almost immediately. Any competent defense can defend dustbowl 3 with no respawn timer. If you lose that with immediate respawn, your team is really fucking bad.
But yeah, the official map will be good. I watched the vid where they showed a bit of the level and I could see some good spots/weak spots just in the little bit of time they showed it. Most usermaps suffer from engineer/sniper/demo syndrome. They’re just too open or too narrow and 3-4 engies can make a passage impassable, snipers can hit you from forever away because you’re forced down a long, straight, narrow corridor, and demos can spam corners with no alternative entrances with stickies and pipe bombs. Regular goldrush map won’t be like that though, I can almost promise.
Looks like the update should be coming later today. GET HYPE!!!
yep. everybody says most updates come on thursday so… i bet ~9 pm est
If it doesn’t…I will riot.
If it does…I’ll riot servers.
I think we should push the haxing day until next week since the update is coming so late in the week. Also, I realized that I have something to do on saturday. Sorry, I totally forgot that we’re having a little mvc2 tourney/get together up here with mad heads that I don’t want to miss out on. I apologize especially after I said “DON’T SAY YOU’LL DO IT AND THEN NOT SHOW UP!!!” or whatever it was. So yeah, you guys wanna just push it to next week so we have some time to enjoy the new map this weekend?
Good idea…I’m gonna be at a party this weekend, and I want to spend some time playing the new map and getting a couple of Medic Achievements.
It’s not exactly the best deal now that I think about it…shipping cost and all, but it evens out depending on where you are located.
My guess is 8PM EST today. If not today then it’s gonna be a fun two days after.
