More info was posted to the TF2 blog regarding what we can expect on the upcoming heavy update. Seems this update is going to be even bigger than the Pyro update. Highlights include

- Three unlockable weapons and thirty-five achievements for the Heavy
- New game mode with five new arenas for it
- New Payload map focusing on more open spaces than Goldrush
- Another popular community-made map

They opened up a site to tease us with a new tidbit of info each day for the next week. link - http://steamgames.com/tf2/heavy/

I dont understand the achivments

Soviet Block : While invulnerable and on defense, block an invulnerable enemy Heavy's movement.

meh kinda stupid eh

Own the Means of Production: Remove 20 stickybombs by killing the Demomen who produced them

this one.... so.. do you remove the sticky? or just kill the demo man who shoots out 8 stickys?

You just don't play enough TF2.

1) This is usually done on Dustbowl at the starting point. You run up to the gate and have your Medic uber to block the path of anyone going out and hope there isn't a Pyro blowing your ass around.

2) What else do you think it would mean?

I really love the ingenuity of some of the achievements but Valve really did it wrong by making the weapon unlocks tied to it. The best way I've heard so far is to have the weapons bought through points gained.
 
meh i do play team fortress alot.. lol.. i just don't like dustbowl etc maps besides 2fort hehe

only maps i play.. 2fort orange_x, orange_ etc

all orange maps are fun
 
[quote name='chasemurata']They need to apply this shit to their console versions. It's not my fault I hate PC gaming!

*cries*[/quote]

Shouldn't have bought the demo version of TF2 ;)
 
[quote name='Serik']Everyone says that the third unlock is a sandwich that will restore 100 HP.[/quote]Makes sense. They mentioned that they wanted to give Heavies an easier time if they solo without a Medic.

You sound like a sniper to me :)
 
I like the more DM oriented arena mode. I think this update is almost doubling the amount of official maps (counting the arena mode maps).
 
Just played a couple games on Goldrush with the update. The games were one of the worst I have played. The other team would dominate with just heavies and a couple of medics and snipers. I'm not a very good player in general (and especially spy and sniper) either. Maybe I will have better luck later.
 
Yeah every server I go into now has at the very least half the team as heavies, some sitting in spawn shooting for 10 minutes straight. Sure helps with getting some of the medic achievements, though.
 
Did this update screw up anybody's else game? It takes forever to load now and most of the servers I have tried to join would always end up freezing the game.
 
Oh god dammit, I just started playing Heavy and I love the class and now all the games are gonna be full of them.

Anyone want to stage some of the harder cheesemints with me? Steam is MatthewPerryLookingBitch.

lol good I need pyro achievement whereyou have to set heavies on fire
 
Got all the weapons. KGB is pretty fun in the first part on Dustbowl on defense, when you can catch someone turning a corner, then steamroll the people behind him. ;)
 
I'm about to hop in on some servers.. add me if you guys wanna play.. be sure to let mwe kno you're from CAG though :)
 
After playing a bit of the Arena mode, I'm not entirely fond of it. There isn't enough to do in that mode, and you're confined within a small area and very little new strategies are involved. I believe the waiting is even more now than ever before (assuming the server is full). The new gold cart map is not bad, but it feels like a 3rd party map more than a valve map, but not having to play through 3 long sections is a plus.
 
I dunno, I like the lumberjack map, and I really like cp_steel and the new PL map. I'm diggin' the new update..
 
What's the deal with these achievement.exe's that unlock all the cheesemints I've been hearing about. Can you get banned for that?

Anyone wanna cheesemint whore tomorrow?
 
I'm glad I won't have access to my gaming comp until Monday. Love the class updates but hate the week or two when everyone plays as the same class.
 
[quote name='oldboy']I went on an achievement server and typed in something like: "bind (KEY) _ jumppack".

Did I just do a bannable offense?[/QUOTE]

Probably not. That server might have some 3rd party modifications that won't affect other servers that don't have those modifications. So when you go to a normal server it won't recognize the command jumppack.
