As we have all seen the Achievements locked to weapons is a bit divisive in the community. I personally would like to see a split from this to you get the weapons straight out plus you have a nice amount of achievements that actually mean something other than Ive got to get these to get those weapo

I agree that having the new weapons available right away does make sense. Less grinding is better, and the overload of one class would end sooner. Not to mention that new players would no longer be alienated by not having all the different weapons to try out right away. Although that's just my opin

I like doing achievements (not grinding or using plugins and such, working towards them) to get the weapons, the big scout/heavy/medic/pyro/etc boom only lasts a few days and everything goes back to normal, plus an extra scout or two per team for the next few weeks, not that terrible. On Fri, Feb

I like getting them too, but the way the game has turned with people banning because of achievements or people downloading programs to get achievements is sort of ridiculous.

Agreed - untie the weps from the achievements and maybe tie achievements in with a ranking/kudos type system using an advanced algorithm to determine the probable rate at which they are gained... just thinking aloud. I'd rather have the weps than kudos tho.

I totally agree with this. I personally love playing the game on occasion and slowly earning the achievements, then being rewarded with a new toy, so I would be happiest if that wasn't taken away. People who choose not to do that and hack or farm to get the achievements don't bother me. I fi

I don't think thats a good question. If you don't start getting along, then valve WILL shut down the list. I'm sure they would rather spend the bandwidth on something else. 2009/3/1 f0rkz > S have we come to a general consensus about this? Cant we all just > get along? :) > > f0rkz > f7lans.
