FUCKING RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGE.

The new unlock system in TF2 is total BS.

100% achievements and only 1 new weapon.

The Razorback, instead of new guns though, I found a Ubersaw, Force 'o Nature, Backburner, Atomic punch, heavy’s gloves, natasha all again.

RAAAAAAAAAAAAAGE.

I’m glad it’s not by achievements. It ruins the game when everyone’s trying to do the same damn thing.

What’s the new unlock system then? Don’t see anything about it on the tf2 website.

ITT. Although it was for the TF2 update, so I wasn’t too bothered.

Although count me among the pissed off about the new unlock system. I used to enjoy earning my unlocks, and while I can totally understand their reasoning behind the new system, I always believed it was going to be in addition to the old way, not instead.

On a more positive note, many, many great new features and improvements in the update, along with the four great new maps. Snipers shooting through team-mates is very welcome (bloody Heavies were always blundering into view and ruining good headshots), Pyro’s airblast extinguisher is a great idea, and the myriad re-workings of the Spy disguises are exciting.

I’ve been playing Tf2 today since 10am, with breaks and I went for a drive.

But its 12am, now, and my count for today on what I got.

6x Ubersaw
3x Razorback
2x Atomic Punch
1x Natasha
1x Flare Gun
1x Kritzkrieg

Uber fail valve.

This all sounds good to me, mainly because I haven’t played TF2 since before the unlocks started coming out. Looks like I won’t have to do any achievement farming after all :smiley:

I have 100% achievements.

And 1 new weapon.

It’s gay, I was raging the whole time at others getting them, and the fact that specs can get them too is super annoying.

After they adjusted following complaints with the first unlock pack, it really wasn’t hard to pick up several unlocks just through normal play for a few hours of a given class, and maybe keeping your eye open for opportune moments to go for one or two of the more amusing situationally rare achievements like taunt kills or deathcam screenshots. I can understand them wanting to allow a more casual, inclusive method of gaining them, but this is a swing too much in the other direction for me.

So what do you do with all the extra weapons in tf2 now?

Can you throw them at people or something?

No, all you can do is delete them.

There was some talk in an interview of a possible trading system at some point.

Something about being able to permanantly to delete the weapons you don’t like/use. “Like a ‘backpack’” was the term I heard.

Edit: New Sniper sound clips: Sounds like pre-rape conversation

Edit 2: And Spah: Spy sappin’ my Spy sappin’ my…

Jarate is really useful. Doesn’t feel overpowered, aiming it is spiffy. I really want the Huntsman now tho’, as I’m going No-scope all the time.

Also why use achievement unlockers when you don’t get new weapons when you unlock them.

Wow, new unlock system seems stupid, I might not start up tf2 for a while until things cool down again.

Hahah the new sound clips are fucking hilarious

Also spy calls the pyro a woman lol

Couldn’t give a toss whether Pyro is male or female tbh. I’m just worried about what will happen with Rule 34 if it is a girl though.

Lol at spy imitating the sniper and saying “No worries mate”. Do half these sounds even play during a match?

They all do.

On the subject of the TF2 unlock system, Valve said they will be “Giving players a method to influence the system so they can work directly toward getting specific items.”

Once that’s done, it’ll be better than the previous unlock system. Achievement spam is horrible…

I prefer Milestones that unlock weapons to what we have now.
