Awesome, some of those old achievements just sounded impossible to undertake.

How are we supposed to know these pics aren't old? Valve could have either toned the achievement difficulty down or made it harder since these pics were taken. These pics are clearly from internal tests, so don't mean a whole lot.

/awaits official announcement

1 Million heal points,time to hibernate.

Yay. some of those seemed impossible, now they seem possible!

 

[-Psy-]

I already have around 975,000 healing points.

 

[Sheepo]

Am I the only one who still sees these as ridiculously difficult to get?

"Group Health-Work with 2 other medics to deliver a simultaneous Ubercharge."
"Triage-Deploy an ubercharge on a teammate with less than a second before they are hit by a Critical"
Both terrifyingly hard to accomplish, hopefully other medics will comply and not be total idiots.

Really? Anytime I get onto a team that's using their microphones, we'll get Group Health type accomplishments regularly. When everyone starts playing medic to get the accomplishments, it'll be hard not to get this.

About a third of the ubers I do are to keep my patient alive. I'll watch a sniper bead play around the patient's body and uber before it gets near his head, incoming critical rockets are automatic ubers. The other types of enemy fire are too hard to predict to 'purposely' get Triage.

Note: watching a heavy get blasted around like a toy from a blocked critical rocket is very enjoyable.

Its not so much keeping your patient alive,its them keeping you alive and protecting their medic from whats around them,its a win win situation.

Good. All these are now about as difficult as the first 17 we currently have.

I take it you don't have many friends online, do you?

I take it you don't have many friends online, do you?

I do just 2 or 5 people play tf2,the rest are just playing gmod,(out of 133 friends),
I meant the "Triage" one to be hard and not so much the group health one.

 

[ríomhaire]

Wasn't the group health one originally 3 people? To get it you can just save your uber until you see the other team medic using his, then use yours straight away.

Looks to me like valve started to run out of ideas.

With the update out you can either view the new ones in-game or here:

There are higher-res images of the achievement logos there too.

I think there are a good mix of achievements to be found.

The new needle gun is bitching.

The new bonesaw plays a different sound (like a guitar) when you taunt with it.
