Re: TF2 update, weapons info
Indeed, though I don't know how long it will be before the others come out seeing as they talked so much about the medic one it took ages 
Also i wonder if the achievements are retroactive, i.e. if you already have the stats that they ask for will you get the achievement?

Seriously doubt it. In my experience they never bother keeping up with overflow stats.Supernova wrote:Also i wonder if the achievements are retroactive, i.e. if you already have the stats that they ask for will you get the achievement?
For real! I first heard rumor about medic stuff so long ago, that I thought it was just a rumor. And here we are still only with medic stuff!!! ZOMG WTF!

The updates are supposedly hitting within a few weeks.
The main delay in getting it out is that it involved a lot of back end work tying the weapons unlocks persistently to your steam acc and setting up the support for all the other achievements. It's supposedly gonna be a lot shorter between the medic unlocks and the next class unlocks than it was between the announcement of the unlocks and the actual release of them. Better be, as Korea said, it was first mentioned months ago...
