That's news to me I know I've heard that before but everytime I get crits on buildings they appear to do crit damage. Also being an engy I swear I've had crits take out my buildings quickly and at the same time (as in the buildings were close together).
Ubered heavies are generally pretty fail when attacking unless it's a confined space, on any open map they're too easy to run/jump away and hide from, they're just too immobile against a decent opposition.

Even so I don't think it would be worth using 2 ubers at once except in extremely unusual circumstances. Remember you can still crit with normal uber.

I'm going to have to agree with Dan and say that using two ubers separately instead of on the same person would be more useful. You have to remember that the other team has the ability to counter it with another uber and would most likely kill the medic with the kritzkrieg.

Just had a perfect example of the use of a kritzkrieg. DB stage 3 last point attacking; popped around the corner with a heavy, dropped a kritzkrieg on him, defenders caught completely off guard and every single one of them dropped in less that 5 secs. Walked in, capped point. It may never happen that easily, but it's proof that at the right time it can work.

Kritz is useless against a team that can defend well - i.e. the OCAU team the other night with an excellent uber counter-uber defence. If they're critting, they should be able to get a max of 2 kills on the other team if they're good, they spread out, they react to the cruber, and they counter uber.

If you have forced the opposition team to use their ubers a kritzed heavy is examellent Though I've mainly had people use the kritz on me at really bad times so far.

Good to see a few OCAUers around tonight. If you see me on a GA server, say hi - my name is "team needs more medics"

From the looks of things they are all on the "OCAU Farm Medic Achievements Server."

Seems like the medic spam has died down already, not too many medics kicking around on the servers I've played on so far.

Friend me so I can find these mythical servers of which you speak. I had 6/12 and 5/10 medics on my team tonight.

No, most of us weren't farming. We were scrimming Z0r, one of the good GA ladder teams.

Anyways, we won both grav and dustbowl. GG to all who played. Will let someone else post synopsis of funny/interesting/entertaining moments.

Btw Fett, sorry bout the overflow server, some wanted a game, some wanted farming. Bloody confusing. People ended up farming anyway you should've come back. Dw anyway theres plenty of times to get achs, its not all self-centered I helped a lot of guys get stuff today even though I've got it all. Just been a long day of helping others farm...

there really are a lot of medics now, and they're all just running around fisting each other (half of them won't heal you if you're not on their list). it's pretty annoying, but I guess it's an insight into the sorts of people who normally avoid playing medic
I had to change servers twice before I could get a "normal" game, and there were still people dribbling non-stop about who they needed to be healing next so they could get an achievement.

LOL! For around the first two hours I played TF2 there was nothing but OCAU players on that server. I've got 20 achievements legit so far. Gonna take awhile to get them all I think.

Anyone know how to get that achievement of Ubering 2 people at once? It doesn't seem to work for me?

Also I find it funny that I'm coming across servers that are lacking medics already!

You've got to do it real quick mate. Like, as fast as you can.

Nice on the 20 legit. I've gotten 25 so far, tried to get that damn scout one with Rahk for like an hour tonight. Gotta find the right server/map...bloody hard.
