Well, they're on tap for release next week. Along with Goldrush.

Some of those achievements are tough, but not impossible. The punch out one can be done while priming the server. I do hate the uber scout though, utter waste of time. Then again, I have been uber-ed as a sniper, but it worked beautifully. Zapped the engy's, and the demomen destroyed the sentry farm at their leisure

You'll be laying waste in ways you've never dreamed possible. Even 30 heavy kills sounds semi reasonable if you consider a couple all crit rushes... that minigun is deadly even at range with crits.

I don't think that at all. It will help a bit, but it won't be any better than the ubercharge; just different.

Think about it. Crits are nice, but if you can still be headshotted or killed by a pair of sentries (which can and WILL beat a heavy, even with crits, as can one if it's being repaired), then you're not better off than normal damage and invincibility.

The crit uber is obviously situational. If there's a mass of opposition heading for your cp, and you step out there with 10 seconds of crits? I can see assisting on 30 heavy kills. Not easy, but more possible IMHO with 10 seconds of crits.

10 seconds of critting in the right place could easily get you 5-10 kills. Do it more then once and you are good.

To be fair though, my most kills with heavy is 26 so... *shrug*

Well crap, if one of the best heavies on our server hasn't even done 30 yet... that doesn't sound very easy.

How about... you get 5 medics on one heavy? If he reaches 30 kills, maybe one or two of the medics will die, but the other 3 all get the achievement.

Or I'll side with Ewok on the carefully planned match server sessions. :10

I think the most important question is: Do crits do extra damage to sentries? From My experience they dont.

I dont think they do either.

I think so. I've taken down a full health L3, with an engi on it, with two rockets, the first one a crit.

I also took down an L3 as a scout once with one scout. This was a long time ago, and I don't even know if I knew about crits back then.

It would be really easy to test out with a demoman and a willing engineer.
