And Counter charge is

Simul Charge - Uber one person, Then switch to another, Then switch to another before the uber runs out.

Counter charge - Kill a medic in uber mode.

no they are the ones, the images are found in hammer filtering textures on achievement.
the names are based on the filenames.
you just need to get creative
(if this is adouble post, that's cuz my browser messed up)

]]> <![CDATA[New Team Fortress 2 Medic Achievements]]> @ jonwilles.

ehm no these are the ones. how I know? I found them again in hameer when messing around. just browse textures and filter on achievement.

you get them all including some HL2 and the old TF2 ones.

there you also see their filename. then use your creative spririt.

paprika_killer

]]> <![CDATA[New Team Fortress 2 Medic Achievements]]> I know that these names from the acheivements are wrong. The house/phone one i know is house call... I mean the fact that they don't know what they do is a pretty good indication that these are bogus.

]]> <![CDATA[New Team Fortress 2 Medic Achievements]]> @Dangeresque: great list, all except 'rule breaker.' i don't like encouraging ways to get around well's impediments. unless, of course, you're stupid enough to get in the way of my dot ;)

]]> <![CDATA[New Team Fortress 2 Medic Achievements]]> @russtophiles: uber spy.. now there's a concept. i think that's the only weird uber i haven't seen. i was ubered as a sniper just last night to take down a sentry :)

i still stand by the old 'silly rabbit, FPSes are for PCs' school of thought. i tried playing TF2 on Xbox at a friend's place and found it nearly impossible. sure, my left hand is permanently cramped into WASD form, but a little carpal tunnel hasn't stopped me from circle-strafing round your slow soldier ass yet.

]]> <![CDATA[New Team Fortress 2 Medic Achievements]]> Our team played a game of all medics on Granary and it was awesome. We just formed a giant healing train and tested how long we could survive. Sure, we all got killed off before long, but it was epic.

These achievements do seem a bit too easy to pull off though, you could probably get 10 of them on one respawn without really trying. Regardless, it's good to see effort being made to encourage medics.

Were it not for the occasionally abusive attitudes some people have toward them when they don't heal and uber everyone EXACTLY how they want you to, there would probably be more medics out there. Some people can be real assholes to medics who are merely trying to do the best they can. I mean, unless they're ubering a sniper or spy... cut them a break.

]]> <![CDATA[New Team Fortress 2 Medic Achievements]]> MEDIC!

Tye-The-Czar

]]> <![CDATA[New Team Fortress 2 Medic Achievements]]> I seem to live my life in online games as the healer, medic, priest, druid etc and TF2's medic is finally a system that rewards you for being a dedicated healer. The achievement pack seems like a bit of overkill though. I mean it looks like there's an achievement for getting all the other achievementsd as well...Scary.
I'd prefer the actual HL2 and HL2:Ep1 achievement sets to be put up. Maybe some fun CSS ones as well so I can relive the last few years.

Mattz

]]> <![CDATA[New Team Fortress 2 Medic Achievements]]> I don't really see the need to artificially boost the number of medics playing the game, and worse this is going to make a lot of the Medics "play wrong" because they will be trying to get achievements, not win games.

I've played enough games where almost half the team went Medic to organise a whole team ubercharge to not think Medic is "underused" and I think this will dangerously unbalance the game. They should have released 4 extra achievements per class in 9 batches rather than 32 all at once (I assume the other classes will get theirs in due course).

Lu-Tze

]]> <![CDATA[New Team Fortress 2 Medic Achievements]]> At this point it's a broken record, but I second the notion of decent experiences on the PC.

I see the occasional "noob" comment, though granted I play on "noob" servers, but I mostly just hear people having a good time (though a number do get upset when they lose - especially if said losses occur repeatedly).

Now if only I could get halfway decent at the game...

@faradin: Yeah its because most kids cant afford real gaming pcs anymore. ;D

Faradin

]]> <![CDATA[New Team Fortress 2 Medic Achievements]]> I agree, I play TF2 all the time on PC, and I've never had anything but good times, if you discount the strugle to find a server that is'nt "24/7 2FORT!" I've met some very nice people who have fun playing. I've never played on Live, but the few times I have played a FPS on Live, damn...made me want to puncture my own eardrums.

]]> <![CDATA[New Team Fortress 2 Medic Achievements]]> The descriptions and names for these things sound rather bad.
However, that art is awesome. Love the Top Score Board and Assist Scout pics.

]]> <![CDATA[New Team Fortress 2 Medic Achievements]]> hey another thing... Kotaku, could you pleeeease post an article where we can all post our steamid for tf2? That would be suuper.kthx!

-emory-

]]> <![CDATA[New Team Fortress 2 Medic Achievements]]> See, I honestly believe that the problem (Phenomena?) of asshole's being assholes is primarily with Xbox Live. I play TF2 constantly on the PC and in all seriousness, it's generally, say even 96% of the time a great place to hang out and play. No hyper-competitive-ness to the point of being not-fun, not an incredible amount of people bossing you around. It's a great scene. Sure there are people that lead the team, or complain when you are hurting the team, but again, it's a TEAM game. The entire battle revolves around playing like a single entity. If you're hurting the team you're going to get trash-talked, but even then it's usually just for fun. Not many people are overly douchebags.
It's strange though, you can say that it's just because the xbox brought multiplayer to the masses, but I think it's the sort of crowd that the xbox attracts that causes this behavior. Mind you, I'd love an xbox (I still haven't upgraded to a 360, I have 2 original's though) but Microsoft has chosen to market the xbox to the same assholes and jocks who play football and are already prone to dick behavior.
The PC TF2 is a completely different experience. For one, people actually play. A LOT. I've got a friend that has 78 hours logged in the past 2 weeks. (winter break :P ) Also you can actually play epic levels. There's no 16 person limit on the PC. I routinely play 32 man battles, and it adds a whole new level to the game. And most importantly, I think, are the levels. You aren't locked in to micro$ on the PC. There are tons of custom made downloadable levels (FOR FREE!) that completely push TF2 to the next level. I havent' played on a default level in the past month or so. it's just not as much fun.
So yeah, PC version is amazing. I really don't understand why anyone plays the xbox version at all... If anyone wants to play, my steamid is emoro42590, or look for me on tf2 with the id "-Lt.Tibbles-"

]]> <![CDATA[New Team Fortress 2 Medic Achievements]]> I'm sure they'll do more maps, and if they put them on live, you're allowed to add another 250 points worth of acheivements for your downloadable content... and in that spirit, I've come up with two for each class.

Spy:
*Awkward Pause (Secret) - Go face-to-face with the enemy you're disguised as (same name, same class).
*"I Got Yer Zerg Right Here" (Probably need a name that doesn't break copyright, but it was just too good) - Backstab someone in the middle of a taunt.

Heavy:
*"It's over 9000!" - Kill 5 enemies with your fists in one life.
*Who Touched Sasha? - Kill an enemy at point blank with your minigun. (Kinda easy)

Scout:
*A New Low (Secret, zero points) - Get backstabbed by a spy.
*Circle Strafer - Destroy a fully-upgraded sentry gun with just your bat.

Demoman:
*Barroom Brawl - Kill an enemy demoman with your whiskey bottle.
*Too Slow - Kill 3 scouts with your sticky bombs in one life.

Sniper:
*Boom Headshot - Get a headshot from 20 feet away or less.
*A Legitimate Tactic (Secret) - Camp while zoomed in for an entire match, not in resupply

Medic:
*Daisy Chain - Ubercharge a medic who's Ubercharging another medic
*Heal Plz - Heal someone who's playing for the first time (it's good to encourage newb friendliness, yeah?)

Soldier:
*Rule Breaker - Get 3 kills before setup ends on Well.
*Maggots! - Kill a cloaked Spy with your entrenching tool.

Engineer:
*They Never Learn... - Destroy 4 or more of the same spy's sappers before killing that spy.
*Texas Air National Guard (Secret, zero points) - Run like hell the second your turret is destroyed.

Pyro:
*Barbeque - Burn every member of the enemy team in one life (don't have to kill, just light them once)
*Hydrophobia (Secret, zero points) - Learn why Pyros don't like water (get killed while trying to use your flamethrower underwater)

I'm overly fond of the zero pointers, I know, but they're funny.

Dangeresque- Got temp banned and learned his lesson! (Crazy!)

]]> <![CDATA[New Team Fortress 2 Medic Achievements]]> When the 360 first launched, Live was a pleasure, because not many people had the system yet and those who did were those who could afford the $500 machine (ie: not kids). Now that there's tons of people around, it's degraded once again into how it was on the original Xbox. You just have to learn to mute and not let idiots get to you. Also, playing certain games will give you less of an idiot:normal ratio. A fighting game or a game like Rock Band seems to have alot of cool people whereas a shooter will automatically be full of lifeless tards.

dowingba

]]> <![CDATA[New Team Fortress 2 Medic Achievements]]> Wow that's overkill on the number of achievements...i'd take more maps before that but eh

tshack

]]> <![CDATA[New Team Fortress 2 Medic Achievements]]> These are what 'achievements' should be used for. Valve is aware that these fake awards don't do anything, so they have made them do something: make people play the medic more. They've probably found that not too many people are using the medic, so they plop these in and you're instantly going to have more medics, at least for a while.

Whereas putting in an achievement for 1000 kills as a medic would NOT encourage anyone new to play as a medic, only reward players who already swear by the class.

Snake726

]]> <![CDATA[New Team Fortress 2 Medic Achievements]]> I can't wait to play a game of all Medics. That will be fun. As. Hell. OMG. ~_~ I'm the best Medic ever, so I'll pwn! :D

Sai-kun

]]> <![CDATA[New Team Fortress 2 Medic Achievements]]> I feel like those aren't the real names, but the images are probably legit. Pretty sweet they're adding that many achievements, and they'll most likely add that many for all the classes.

But as was said before, more maps please!

monkeybars

]]> <![CDATA[New Team Fortress 2 Medic Achievements]]> I love playing medic. I suck at uber though. Almost always waste it. I've never been too into achievements and find that when I pay any attention to them at all I end up paying more attention to them than to the actual game. (As in "Gehn (that's me, don't dis Myst), stop being scout, that sentry kills you five seconds after you spawn." "I don't care, I want my Head of Class and I'm not changing!")

Still though, having the game tell me how awesome I am at healing (but not ubering) is always great, so extra achievements are teh shiz.

Rubiximus

]]> <![CDATA[New Team Fortress 2 Medic Achievements]]> achievement whores spamming as medics ... FUN!

]]> <![CDATA[New Team Fortress 2 Medic Achievements]]> @Serreah: The thing is that charge was increased during setup. Just a note to make.

RangerMoose

]]> <![CDATA[New Team Fortress 2 Medic Achievements]]> @radkon1: Your lack of appropriate grammar is not helping with your implication that PC gaming is more grown-up.

]]> <![CDATA[New Team Fortress 2 Medic Achievements]]> @KingGorilla: The SAME EXACT THING happened to me on the same map as an engineer!

HigglyPiggly

]]> <![CDATA[New Team Fortress 2 Medic Achievements]]> @HigglyPiggly:

Playing the game wrong...lol

I had some guy, no less than 30 sec into a game tell me "Dude, stupid, you don't put sentry guns outside the intel room. Lame."
The thing racked up 22 kills before I decided to break it down and move it. Just goes to show how completely clueless the loudest of the bunch usually are.

Hapy to have some new achievements. Now, more maps please.

KingGorilla is coming to get you, Barbara!

]]> <![CDATA[New Team Fortress 2 Medic Achievements]]> Maybe now people will play as medic. It suck to not have anyone heal you in the middle of a fight. And I think that simul-charge achievement is from having two medics heal someone.

nman

]]> <![CDATA[New Team Fortress 2 Medic Achievements]]> My friend is ridiculous as a medic. He gets more kills than half the guys in the game, and helps the rest of us never die.

RageKage

]]> <![CDATA[New Team Fortress 2 Medic Achievements]]> wow. i think i achieved all of these already.

willyolio

]]> <![CDATA[New Team Fortress 2 Medic Achievements]]> @Waza:

Yeah these definitely look like guesses. The names aren't clever or even spelled right. Not to mention the descriptions aren't really helpful.

]]> <![CDATA[New Team Fortress 2 Medic Achievements]]> @Truepatriot:
Thanks for the clarification there, I figured it was PC Only, but I was asking to make sure.

@Guizzy:

Yeah, I've known about the additional achievement thing for awhile (isn't there a limit of 250 more points a game). I just thought it odd they would add so many achievements based on solely the medic for any additional points on Orange Box. Thanks for replying to my question though.

alraydius

]]> <![CDATA[New Team Fortress 2 Medic Achievements]]> Hmmm...I thought with the reduced charge during setup it wasn't possible to get Uber during that period anymore. Before you would just barely get it during the 30 seconds.

Serreah

]]> <![CDATA[New Team Fortress 2 Medic Achievements]]> @Balmung576: I believe Valve said that they're going to have many achievements for all the classes.

sugardeath

]]> <![CDATA[New Team Fortress 2 Medic Achievements]]> Are these supposed to be coming to the 360?
It would be sweet as hell if it was. Give me some more achievements to earn on this fantastic game.

Mustakrakish

]]> <![CDATA[New Team Fortress 2 Medic Achievements]]> just some boring speculations

and acheivements ... come on, it's not the thing that will make this game special ...

Waza

]]> <![CDATA[New Team Fortress 2 Medic Achievements]]> If it gets more medics, fine, but seriously - healing engies? That's not an achievement.

MajorMcMuffin

]]> <![CDATA[New Team Fortress 2 Medic Achievements]]> I like Medics--the only quip I have with them is that I have to constantly hold my primary mouse button to keep healing someone... wish I could toggle it or something (there probably is a way, but I'm just too lazy to find out).

September

]]> <![CDATA[New Team Fortress 2 Medic Achievements]]> oh yea, there was this one time we all co-ordinated a team to go all medic. the medic wall was surprisingly effective until the other team switched to nothing but spies and pyros.

dafthero

]]> <![CDATA[New Team Fortress 2 Medic Achievements]]> @krunkjuice: ...The arcade?

And if we're talking about people being hyper-competitive to the point at yelling at their teammates, PC is just as likely. More, in fact.

Moonshadow101

]]> <![CDATA[New Team Fortress 2 Medic Achievements]]> the world can always use more medics

dafthero

]]> <![CDATA[New Team Fortress 2 Medic Achievements]]> I wonder if any of these will be retroactively added. I haven't played anything but medic since release, so I'm pretty sure I'd have opened up almost all of these by now.

Paper

]]> <![CDATA[New Team Fortress 2 Medic Achievements]]> Am I the only one who thinks these look like fakes? The achievement named "Invite join charge" sounds like it was spit out by the same machine that wants to sell me "Free V I A G R A CHEAP!", and the same image was already named "House Call" by Valve themselves. The images look legitimate, but the names sound really weak, but maybe it's some garbled German translation.

RangerMoose

]]> <![CDATA[New Team Fortress 2 Medic Achievements]]> That's pretty cool, considering I play exclusively as a Medic in TF2. Of course, not giving a shit about achievements, it's kind of moot.

Strangelove

]]> <![CDATA[New Team Fortress 2 Medic Achievements]]> @jajimo: Or were you just proving my point about XBLA?

krunkjuice

]]> <![CDATA[New Team Fortress 2 Medic Achievements]]> @jajimo: Was there a reason for that?

krunkjuice

]]> <![CDATA[New Team Fortress 2 Medic Achievements]]> I dont see how all of these achievements will be added to the Xbox version of the game, and i dont even know if the PS3 has achievements or not.

I'm torn between the fact that all-in-all the achievemnts are kinda lack-luster, but the art work for each looks legit.

Those crazy Germans....you never really know if they're telling the truth or not!

Just kidding, but yeh, 99% of people on any online game are going to be assholes, and at least 99% of those are still assholes in real life. Anti-social ftw.

HfAsianInvasion

]]> <![CDATA[New Team Fortress 2 Medic Achievements]]> @alraydius: Some games had achievements added to them, but there usually need a reason to justify it. Oblivion had achievements added to it because the expansion was big enough to justify 250 more points. Final Fantasy XI had achievements added as it didn't have them on release.

@HigglyPiggly: That's why I mostly play with my headset muted and the volume off when I play with unknown players, and only activate it when I'm with friends.

Guizzy

]]> <![CDATA[New Team Fortress 2 Medic Achievements]]> @radkon1: Good point...if anyone is talking about assholes online I just assume it has to be on Live.

krunkjuice

]]> <![CDATA[New Team Fortress 2 Medic Achievements]]> @HigglyPiggly: It wasn't any better on the original XBOX....then again I mainly play Halos so I guess I'm a bit jaded by the amount of immature people that play that game. lol

krunkjuice

]]> <![CDATA[New Team Fortress 2 Medic Achievements]]> for those tht dont know these are PC only(so far)
@crecente you should add this little point to lessen confusion by some =)

Truepatriot

]]> <![CDATA[New Team Fortress 2 Medic Achievements]]> It's too bad there'll be an influx of nubbish medics who are just searching for more achievements. I love playing medic, and a skilled medic can turn the team around.

Of course, 90% of the TF2 population is just interested in frags and high scores, and the nuanced gameplay of the medic might just be too much for them to handle. However, with good communication and a good teammate, I've gotten 1st or 2nd on servers with 32 players using the medic exclusively.

PATSCRU

]]> <![CDATA[New Team Fortress 2 Medic Achievements]]> @krunkjuice: Um actually I've had Live since the 360 launched, and since then it's degraded into pre pubescent kids and assholes who think they are better than everyone else but ruin the entire game for everyone.

HigglyPiggly

]]> <![CDATA[New Team Fortress 2 Medic Achievements]]> These achievements are for the Xbox version or PC or what? The article didn't state, and I thought the Xbox ones were already set in stone since release?

alraydius

]]> <![CDATA[New Team Fortress 2 Medic Achievements]]> Good reason to start playing TF2 again I guess. I was a little sick of it after a while, due to the persistent lag, and general lack of people.

]]> <![CDATA[New Team Fortress 2 Medic Achievements]]> @Ghede: It's just a video game, and interactive environment to - interact - with in any way you please. The only way you can even "play wrong" is if you tried to install the disk to a toaster or if you use hacks and bots to play the game online. So what if heavies punch all the time, etc. People can do as they please within a game, even piss off other players.

HigglyPiggly

]]> <![CDATA[New Team Fortress 2 Medic Achievements]]> @HigglyPiggly: I know what you mean. I had some kid on the other team yell at me for playing scout defensively. I think he was just pissed I was dominating him though

Hoboman725

]]> <![CDATA[New Team Fortress 2 Medic Achievements]]> Kinda seems like a lot of achievements for only one class, like WAY to many. I can see it now, an entire team of medics, what great times are to come.

Balmung576

]]> <![CDATA[New Team Fortress 2 Medic Achievements]]> @HigglyPiggly: ... maybe... you are playing the game wrong? Just a thought. Heavies shouldn't be punching all the time, medics shouldn't be healing snipers, and scouts shouldn't spend their time taunting in their intel room. Not saying you do those things, but they ARE ways to play wrong. After all, it isn't a single-player game, it is a team game. If you are on a softball team and you spend your time facing the wrong way and swinging, they are going to get pissed at you, no matter how much fun you are having.
