I still havent gotten the 25 headshots achievement. Don't look forward to it either.
I hate being a sniper, so paranoid.

It's really satisfying when you play well, but I never trust myself to play the role without my back against a wall. Which is obviously a problem.

On the 360 I got the achievement by joining a game with 1 person in it and tormenting him for about 10 minutes, getting a headshot every time he tried to capture a point by hiding in the upper area in Hydro. I got 10 headshots before he quit. It was awesome.

The new Patch should be dropping on Thursday and from what I'm told, there's more than just Medic changes and the gold rush.

I had a blast playing Soldier last night when it was just 4 of us playing dustbowl. I have such a love hate relationship with crit rockets. :lol

I'll be on trying to get the sniper achievement tonight.

I think we've heard about possible engineer upgrades too--upgradeable teleporters and dispensers maybe?

Probably, I believe 1up said those were in the game when they got to test Goldrush.

Level 3 teleporter only takes 3 seconds to recharge, level 3 dispenser heals slightly slower than a Medic.

And heals multiple people, IIRC.

And as I said when it was first mentioned, that would be fucknuts insane.

As an engineer, the dispenser sounds cool. I'm basically forced in to a primarily defensive only role in something like 2fort, but that upgrade would make me a lot more confident about going further in to the map with a partner.

dispensers already heal multiple people, unless you just mean a lot bigger aoe. or maybe they took that out while I haven't been able to play.

That's what I was thinking too, but TheOneGuy might have been talking about how the dispenser could heal at the rate of a medic, but only heal one person. Sort of a trade off I guess. I'm glad that may not be the case though.

Having the rest of the engineer's stuff upgradeable sounds fantastic. Dustbowl is going to insane with lvl 3 teleports, though.

I wonder if one of the things they could add for the engineer achievement set (maybe for getting all engineer achievements) is a way to pack up a dispenser/sentry you've already built and move it to a new location.

I wouldn't mind being able to set up multiple sentries. A level 1 sentry really isn't all that powerful, a pyro can take it out easily. Maybe give the option to set up 3 level 1 sentries rather than just one level 3 one. Maybe add some other perk, like the ability to put them on a moving track or something.

I was thinking some kind of crazy backpack contraption where your sentry's regular guns would fire while you carry it (or your dispenser keeps healing you, and only you), but you move as slowly as a heavy with it strapped to your back. Something that at least offers the potential for some cartoonish looks to go with taking your gear mobile.

Or they could do something crazy like a 2-way teleporter, so both ends are entrances and exits.

Good Job #2

I think we might be setting Medic and Engineer achievements/upgrades next patch. Would make more sense to do multiple classes per patch.

Looks like Patch is tommorrow.

Medic:
You get the new weapon that makes it impossible to crit who you're healing after 12 achievements

At 24 achievements, you get the 100% critter.

At 36 Achievements, you get the new Saw

Not sure if that was public yet or not. Trying to find out what else is being added.

What achievements are these? Ones you've already got or new ones just for the medic? I've never been certain.

whole new 36+ new achievements just for medic. All classes are going to get these type of achievements/upgrades at some point.

Er, yeah. I'm stupid. That's what I mean to type. Bigger AOE. I don't even know what I was thinking when I said that. D:

I will try to redeem myself as such:
But still! EVERYONE being healed at the rate of only slightly less than a medic heals is still pretty fucknuts insane. O:

LV3 teleporters will:

- make it oh so satisfying to sap one
- oh so satisfying to sap the entrance
- worth sapping the exit as well as the entrance
