From looking at them, it appears that a player going through them all will be an excellent medic - answers calls from his teammates, spreads ubercharge between a few people, saving teammates from near-deaths by fire or falling, and generally kicking ass

I believe that this is directly linked to the statistics that show Medic the least played class.

We’re planning on adding achievements to all of our games you touched on in your mail. We’re just now coming out of the post-shipping haze, so these should start showing up on Steam pretty quick here.

We’re also planning on adding a bunch more to TF2, starting with an achievement pack for the Medic in the next week or so.

Kudos slugz on steampowered forums.

Obviously, what we need to properly convince them is a free weekend - four days of FREE TF2 for them to try it out, and for us to shove a critical rocket into their faces.

In a Email correspondence, Mike Morasky from VALVe told me:

I’ve heard talk of a free weekend but can’t say exactly when it’ll happen. Just know it’s in the works.

Thanks for writing and spreading the word about TF.

So don’t give up just yet! The chance for everyone to see just how much TF2 is worth is getting near!

Some guy called Promii from the Steam forums went and checked:

For my purposes I will define long range (LR) as battlement to battlement on 2fort and medium range (MR) as main resupply door to opposite wall, also on 2fort. Point-blank is abbreviated PB. Most damages are rounded to the nearest 5 unless small to begin with. Crits tended to vary much much less than regular shots, so only one number is given.

Primary weapons:
Scattergun: PB: 85-105 (crit: 180) MR: 10-40 LR: 3-10
Rocket Launcher: PB: 105-115 MR: 50-90 LR: 45-60 (all crits: 270)
Flamethrower (per ammo, not including afterburn): PB: 15 Max R: 5

So if you’re really that interested in knowing the rest, go check it out.
