And I don't see any other similarity between BF2 and these changes.

I may be mistaken if it was an issue at all, but I remember specifically during the early life of the BF2 server of there being a consensus among the players that this would have been a bad idea. But, I'll drop it because I'm not about the start searching back through posts made years ago.

Why don't you guys give the changes an actual playthrough before declaring them awful? Just sayin. I'm optimistic about these changes, since every other change they've made so far has increased the quality of gameplay.

How am I going to play through when I have to unlock half of the achievements just to gain access to one extra weapon?

And every other change they've made to TF2 has affected everyone equally. If they were just making new weapons for use for everyone, I'd probably just roll my eyes a bit and move on. But this varies even from something like friendly fire because it's not just about putting in the time with the class, it's about keeping in the back of your mind what achievements you have left to get.

I actually didn't mind the stock TF2 achievements because they could all be obtained by doing your job. A good pyro will light 5 people on fire. A good defense will shut-out dustbowl or granary. A good sniper will score X headshots.

I just don't see how 39 (I think) achievements for one class will be this generic. If they end up all being: "Heal X amount" then "Heal X+y amount," then I'll shut up. But with that many achievements, it's probably going to get stupid, like the Achievements in Guitar Hero 3 or some other 360 titles.
