If you check the Gold Rush site, there's an upcoming Team Fortress 2 free weekend this weekend.

Free to people that haven’t bought the game yet. They did this with DoD and RO too.

He probably meant it was free to people that haven't bought it yet....

Seems like:

achievement_unlock_all

in the console unlocks all achievements now. Valve don't seem to be too bothered. I tried it just to test the new weapons, as thousands of others have too, but I hope they roll back the changes - I didn't want EVERY achievement unlocked.

Mods: sorry if this is announced as a cheat in the end, but Valve have said nothing, and I must have seen a fair few people use it today.

Anyway, I think someone seriously mucked up with this one

No, they definitely are concerned. They are deleting all topics mentioning this code and related on the steam forums and locking several others.

Wow... So i guess a quick patch will come out soon to fix it and maybe some sort of roll back even if some people got the achievements the legit way. If not than oh well some people got lucky.

Good good, I hope you're right. Seriously though, who was the tard that left that wide open? Apparently someone was fired at Valve for this, but that's just rumour atm.

Developer goes back to his desk and finds a note that says "unlock your fired"

More like a note saying "Your Achievements just weren't quite good enough"

I ver much doubt Valve would fire anyone over some silly little convar.

Not to mention it would be the joint-fault of the current TF2 cabal rather than an individual.

If you just want the weapons, you can unlock the milestones. That way you don't have to unlock everything.

I did the command in a .cfg file so I have a few different configs for it. Since the achievements are client side there will always be a way to unlock things, unless they go all server side but that won't happen. I unlocked the weapons and left all the achievements to be achieved when I achieve them. They really screwed up the great balance this game once had by releasing one class unlocks, they should have done at least 3 classes at once. Now you have a crap load of medics who are not usually medics and suck at playing medic screwing up the team balance. I would have expected better from valve. Oh yeah, anyone who thinks they can ban you from using a command is a moron. Theres a few bugs in the game that need to be fixed ASAP like the goldrush meter cart thing disappearing. And some people are getting game CTD. So when they roll out the update to fix these things maybe today or tomorrow we will know if they also fix the achievements. I usually play medic and have double the hours as a medic over any other class so I'm kinda ****ed the way they released this with a ton of retarded medics running around. Thanks to the command hopefully that won't be a issue anymore so just spread the word on this command.

They really should have brought us achivements for more classes.
And: There is a console in TF2? how do i get there?
Gabe3: care to share your config? :-)
