I don't have any but one achievement for the heavy, so clearly I don't have any of the new unlocks. But, I feel like Natascha could be really good, if used properly. Not unlike Kritzkrieg, it can have its use in battle, but very rarely can it be used alone.

If you want to be useful with Natascha, you probably should work with your team to be really effective. Like, use it to slow down a last minute rush by blu so the SGs can pick them off (as well as the rest of the team). If you and another heavy go with each other and only one of you has natascha, good things just might happen.

Like I said, its just like Kritz, generally, useless by itself; but with an uber... well you have a win!

I don't actually see a differance between the gun and the boxing gloves, the only thing thats changed is the sandvich, all the other things are just critical bits added, differant sounds and differant models.

Not all the achieves, all the weapons.. Lol. Stalin the cart and pushkin honestly take no time at all. Rasputin= Easy.

well, you responded: l got all of them in 30 minutes..

Iron Kurtain is easy as long as you stand near a medikit or are near a locker of yours.
Soviet Union is easy while there are a lot of heavies.
Red Oktoberfest is easy as long as you and Mr.Medic are in a good position.
Etc Etc.

Yes, but l still don't believe that you can get'em all in 30 mins.

l wonder why Steam hasn't patched it yet....well , l don't want her to patch it because it is totally harmless and it is fun too...

What weapon is that??? I haven't played the game in about 3 months now, so I'll start playing it again soon :p

Man, you really haven't played in a while have you, its one of the Engineer unlockables, the gravity gun.

The correct name for that is the Physics gun. Its the tool used on Gmod for makeing ragdolls stand in a variety of poses and can be used for many other things.

I found something too. I don't know if I should call it a glitch or an exploit, but I am able to sticky jump on top of the fence off to the right of the cart at the beginning.

Its funny how I got up there the first time. I saw that after we lost control of that area, a tele was still up. I decided to take it despite the fact that I'm sure its being camped. Well, once I got to the other side, I instantly jumped, a demo was indeed camping it and I flew way up and landed on the fence. I did my best to stay alive, but was only able to maintain for a few seconds.

Badwater Basin seems to have a billion spots you can get "stuck" to, that's unfortunate.

Does Natascha, or however weird way you spell it, slow down enemies that are ubered?

I predict that it doesn't, but it would kick ass if it did.

I just found some info saying that the heavy weapons are going to be on the 360, I don't know about PS3 and I don't know if the maps or other character weapons are going to be available.

Earlier this week, Valve rolled out A Heavy Update for its madcap multiplayer-only shooter Team Fortress 2. The third class overhaul of its kind, A Heavy Update bestowed achievements and a trio of unlockables for the titular profession: a chaingun named Natascha, punching gloves, and a sandwich. However, like the Medic and Pyro updates--and a myriad of other patches for the game since The Orange Box dropped last October--the add-on was for the PC edition of the game only.

Soon, that will no longer be the case. Valve has confirmed for GameSpot that all content released through A Heavy Update will be available by year's end for the Xbox 360 edition of the game. The Valve representative also noted that there are no updates planned for the PlayStation 3 version, the development of which Valve farmed out to publishing partner EA.

Unfortunately, it is unlikely that the update for the 360 game will be free. Valve managing director and cofounder Gabe Newell addressed this fact, as well as the delay on console patches for TF2, in a recent interview with VideoGaming247.

dont 360 owners have to pay for their updates? i say it's a lot cheaper to build a good gaming rig and just keep upgrading it as time goes.

The X-box updates cost $10 and come in a HUGE download, therfore it takes ages and is expensive (well, not really, but still annoying).

You mean this guy's unlockable?

Sorry for the picture spam, but a man can dream. (Picture by Sweeper128, done entirely in Gmod. I know there's no HUD, and no proper blood, but I am not a genius at Gmod)

I started playing this again for PC yesterday, and Ive allready started raking in the achievements.
Got all 3 special items for Medic and Pyro, and 2 for the Heavy.

that sandwich (fuck you i'll spell it how i want to) is pretty useless. medics always save your ass and there are plenty of medkits lying around the place so i dont see much use for that unlockable.

Don't you see its purpose?

It isn't meant as a healing tool, it's meant as an Anti-Sniper weapon.

If there's Snipers, then all you have to do is look them in the eye, and start eating a sandvich at them. They'll promptly either stop attempting to shoot you to either taunt, run away, or explode into a gory mess.

My friend who has a legit copy of TF2 got a trial pass from Steam to give to a friend and gave it to me. It expires 9/21 which gives me plenty of time to play and helps me make a decision on if i should buy it. I'm currently downloading the client off steam so yay!

I'd like to join btw.

About that red lightning sandvich......

No one is replying so I will post some pics I did in Gmod.

Let's start with a "classic"
