Dunno what kind of game it is...A shooter right? and didn't it come with HL2 or something? Or the Orange Box?

Do you need steam for it actually? Since I just saw you can buy it through steam. And if you do, does steam come with TF2? O_o

You need the achievements from each class.
There are generic ones, which I don't think unlock anything.

Basically, 5 won't get you anything, when you unlock something, it will tell you. Keep trying :P

I've got all pyro unlocks, 2/3 medic, and 1/3 heavy.

As for buying it, if you don't have half life 2, or portal, or whatever, just buy the orange box, its 30$ so its great value for money:

Does The Orange Box include steam then? or do I have to get that through the site or something?

(I'll read it tomorrow, going to bed now :P Thanks for the answers ^_^)

Steam is the 'content delivery system' if you wish. It's free. It has an online store. Wait...how can you NOT of heard of Steam?

Ofcourse I heard of steam...But if I remember it correctly you used to get it with HL(2) so I was just wondering if you'd also get it with the orange box >.<

you do get it with the orange box, you can download free from their website

its the best way to have your games though as it will automatically update them when an update comes

You'd need 12 (I think) of the PYRO achievements. It should be broken down for you when you look at the achievements you've unlocked.

X/123 Total
X/12 General
X/36 Medic
X/36 Pyro
X/36 Heavy

I know my numbers probably don't add up but oh well, you get what I mean.

There is nothing on either dvd except a Steam installer. All the other stuff are icons etc...I wanted to install everything but he like crashed when he was preparing the portal stuff. So I decided to try out only TF2 which worked with the preparing, and after that he started to download >.<
