Check this out, he is very good at using both the juggle the enemy trick and the death from above trick. And shotgun use too for that matter.

i am killed by a sentry gun at 1:40

[Tai]

Could you tell if it was the same one that got me 2 seconds earlier? I bet we were teamworking. :)

I must also remember to get on his team next time he's on the server. =P

[Tai]

Fun names :) some of those are gonna be easy, and some are going to be extremely rare. I will bring my medic out of retirement for them for sure though. :)

[Shadowrat]

FYI I am a Medic! lolz! that's the funniest one by far.

[samuelk]

I think "You'll Feel a Little Prick" is quite clever.

[Tai]

That gun you get for 2/3rds complete sounds interesting - it fires non-stop crit rockets?

[samuelk]

That gun you get for 2/3rds complete sounds interesting - it fires non-stop crit rockets?

Er, not quite. The weapon you're thinking of is the Critzcrieg, and it replaces the normal medigun. IT doesn't fire crit rockets. The Critzcrieg charges an ubercharge on another player just like the medigun, but instead of granting invulnerability when the ubercharge reaches 100%, the Critzcrieg gives the target player a 100% chance of firing critical hit ordinance. So if you ubercharge a soldier with the Critzcrieg, he'll fire crit rockets for 10 seconds.

Here's the rundown of the weapons:

The Blutsaugher
For players that earn one third of the 36 new medic achievements, they will be given a new syringe gun. Called "The Blutsaugher," this new weapon no longer has the ability to score critical hits against an opponent. Instead it will draw health from enemies each time a syringe hits. Especially useful as a weapon to retreat away from the fight while staying alive.

The Critzcrieg
Once a medic has earned two thirds of the achievements, they will be granted "The Critzcrieg." This new medigun uses its ubercharge not for invulnerability, but to give its recipient 100% chance to fire critical ordinance. Medics and the player they are charging need to be careful though, because as much fun as it is to fire critical rockets as fast as you can, the other team will see what you're up to and try to put a quick stop to your plan.

The Ubersaw
For the determined medic that has earned all 36 of the new achievements, they will find themselves the proud owner of "The Ubersaw," which will take damage done in melee attacks and convert it directly to ubercharge. Four hits with this new weapon will fully charge whatever medigun the medic has equpped.

[Paladin]

I sure hope there will be servers that don't allow the upgraded weapons. Those are way overpowered compared to the normal weapons.

[Tai]

heh,m the damage i can do with 10 secs of crit rockets would be unreal. And I know people who could do 4 times the damage or more. should be interesting.

[Shadowrat]

The critzkrieg sounds like it would be super powerful. but i don't think it will work well against sentries like an ubercharge does. And still all the other team needs to do is take out the medic while he's critzkrieging. I don't know about you, but i seem to find myself behind an ubercharged enemy all the time just biding my time until it wears off. If he were critzkrieging, i could take him out.

a couple stickies would stop them dead, a spy would put an end to it. hell, a scout coming around a corner behind them would cut the rampage short.

It sounds like a critzkrieged heavy would be crazy powerful because they already work well when stepping out into fire.

good point. going to have to keep an eye open for this. Did I mention my life time healing is only in the 750k range?

[Shadowrat]

my best healing in one life with the medic is 6 644. healing 1k seems doable, but it would be tough. it doesn't count as a point healed unless the dude is actually hurt. so you have to actually get into some combat.

after some investigation last night, i think the do no harm acheivement would not be hard to get. i would have gotten it about 3 times.

The not killing any enemies is easy. Having the highest score for the round at the same time is not.

[Tai]

I disagree. I have often had the highest score as a medic without ever killing anyone. (assists don't count)

[Tai]

Where's my update? I thought it was due out today?

Some gameplay footage and the developers talking. (http://www.gamevideos.com/video/id/18489)

I didn't realize the gold cart would move faster when there were more people near it, nor that it healed (althoguh I should have recognized those beams, duh).

[Shadowrat]

i think it's weird that 2fort seems like it's no fun because it's too small, yet mach4 is even smaller, but (i think) is more fun.

[Tai]

I'm not sure it is the size that puts me off 2fort. I shall mull over what it might be, but I too think mach4 (and turbine for that matter) are enjoyable, but I do not enjoy 2fort.
