I'm not really bitchin about anything here, just wanted to know if this is a hack or just a bug in the latest TF update.

We were on dustbowl and I swore I was killed by an ubered medic with his bonesaw out.  Really didn't think much of it until I came out of spawn and saw this medic ubered for over a minute and didn't un-uber until Leon kicked him.

So, was this a hack? or a bug from the (fucking fucked up) medic achievements?

While I'm on that subject, I have noticed a HUGE amount of lag on the servers when they are full.  I have a theory about this and should work itself out.  With between 8-10 medics on the map and their "flow"/ubers/sentries/pyros this must use alot of something the server has thus creating the lag.  Does this sound plausible?  If Valve does end up doing the other classes it would be nice to have a couple at a time so we don't have so many at one class.  Think about it.  Even if release new achievements every month, that would just short of a year of the game being totally unbalanced class wise.  Boy, I really think Valve fucked the goat on this one and might just have the opposite effect than what they were looking for.

I did it, it occurs when you unlock a "milestone" achievement while ubered. It sticks for 1-3 minutes or when they change class.

Make ya wonder where theplay testers where on that one.

I think it has an effect longer that you think we had 2 medics running aroung for more than a few minutes till I called in the leon patrol.

Also I saw the same effect on a heavy at another server yesterday so it might have been his ubered target staying uber also or somehow he switched class without using it. A uber heavy punching everyone that came out of spawn during lazytown (funny for 2 seconds) upset alot of people there.

Was the player a_paperbag?  Or something like that?  I remember when he got kicked.  In my opinion, based on some of his comments and questions, he did not know he was exploiting.

That was him Razor, but Leon told him to quit it a couple times before the smack was laid down.

Yeah it was not fun for anyone.
