You can head on over to shacknews.com if you want to read the whole story.

Most of you know the overhealer gun for the medic was scrapped during testing....but after reading this I am really scared.

"While Valve had discussed an Overhealer gun that would double a target's health, the studio is currently testing a Medic gun that, once charged, will guarantee targets ten seconds of continuous critical hits.

Valve previously explained that the unlockable items would be equipped via a new loadout menu, suggesting that gamers will not be able to easily swap between the new tools in the midst of battle."


Pwnage begins!    There will be no sentry defense that will be able to stop that shit.

Well crap! That sucks for me as Engie - there's no way my gun can live (or me for that matter). Ubers are bad enough!

Although that new map sounds like a lot of fun - I may even play it!

That will be fun as hell.

Buildings don't get extra-hurt by crits though, so I'd imagine a sentry gun will actually destroy this type of uber, because the target will just have regular health.

I hope they continue to tweak the gameplay until the game is entirely different and no one plays it anymore.

I'll pass.

No, but the engineer and all surrounding support defense will be wiped out quickly, leaving the SG completely open to anything. Any decent player can take out an SG that isn't being actively repaired. With this it wouldn't matter if it is or isn't.

I don't mind crits, but 10 seconds of guaranteed crits is absolutely ludicrous. Ten seconds is a very fucking long time when the medic and the heavy have guns that can shoot 10-15 rounds in a second. (guesstimate)

I think buildings do loose more health with crits.

Either way, the Engi is sure to die and there goes the gun.

Like stated...10s is a LONG time and I don't like this idea.  How long will this be available to Medics?  Once they unlock the crit gun, will they have to charge it or will it always be available to them to use?

I'm going to have to practice my medic skills. Maybe we should all be medics and get the 10 second upgrade - medics healing medics. Sounds like a song.

This sounds cool but I don't see how the fuck it won't totally unbalance the game. 10 seconds of crits is enough for me to mow through just about anything. The other night I got 4 crits in a row and killed at least 6 people in a couple of seconds before everyone else ran away. 10 seconds of crits would be madness.

They won't be invincible like during uber. SO I guess they can still be killed while they are on their crit rampage.

Same goes for the doctor, Kill the doctor end the rampage :P
