Already gotten the jarate, I've seen the ambassador and huntsman, no sign of the watches or razorback = \.

[Jerinx]

The Cloak and Dagger is damn rox!
Damn.

[Magma]

You get those new guns in bizarre way, you just play, and sometime sooner or later you'll get new gun and saying "<GameName> has found <WeaponName>"
I say that's rubbish, i liked old achievements grind to get those.
I got Ambassador and Cloak & Dagger..... need MOAR!

I'm disgusted about the new system they have for earning weapons. They're not earned at all, there's no effort involved whatsoever. I want the old system back.

I agree, I was just selecting a class for my self and all the sudden i got myself a Spys watch (The other one, Not The Cloak And Dagger)

[TehKiller]

What I hate with this update:

The unremovable crosshair on the sniper
Freebies getting automatically the unlocks
Stupid unlock system (ffs I played as a sniper today and all I managed to unlock was a Flare Gun which I already have for christs sake)
The new class icon (ffs I want to be able to choose between the lame icons and the ussual letters)

[Ion Cannon!]

I just got a message saying Left 4 Friday is starting, and there still appears to be the same event scheduled for 10PM. Either steam is messing up or some moron has decided its funny to edit the times.

;Er I didn't post this here... *Confused*

I got only huntsman. But, I want the old unlock system back.

[Ion Cannon!]

Indeed the new unlock system is really lame.

[KiraSama]

the new unlock system is broken, confirmed by Robin Walker

I bounced a quick mail to Valve’s very own Saxton Hale, TF2 lead-guy Robin Walker, who reckons there’s some sort of bug in the system that’s meaning people aren’t getting unlocks even after hours of play. “Not at all how it’s tuned,” apparently. Which is, I think, the first time I’ve been relieved to hear a game has a bug - it means the problem will get fixed.

I only got the Razorback and is exactly as i predicted, useless, slow you down, dont kill the spy and only safe you one time...did i mention the spy can run away and you are screwed for the lack of SMG? oh and is visible so a normal spy will just shoot you to dead with the revolver oh and is ONLY again backstabs

i am starting to wonder if they actually betatest the updates

Honestly, I never played before but the idea of removing grinding seems appealing to me. I don't see why the idea of pickups is lame.

[CodeCat]

They aren't pickups. You just randomly get weapons over time. So all you have to do is sit idle on an empty server and the weapons will slowly come in automatically. If that's not grinding I don't know what is.

without mention this part:

Sounds more like a broken system right now.

Wear three of those gloves over each other to recieve a 300% Crit chance for 15 seconds, and a reducement of 60% to your firing speed!

Oh, and another thing: Click me!

Edit: Dear gawd, you can actually kill things when cloaked or disguised as a spy by just taunting. That's right. Frag stuff whilst cloaked using your taunt.

[MR.Kim]

It seems so many people complains about new unlock system on Steam forums.

I think over 10 or 20 topics complain.

And they have good reason to.

I've been playing for a couple of hours today, the only new thing I unlocked was another Sandman. After that, nothing.

[TehKiller]

Same...I wish I unlocked the sandman (after hours of play yesterday all i got was a 2nd flare gun....curse you valve)

[Libains]

Hmm well I just gave it an hour or so, racked up 150 odd points as a heavy and got...

NOTHING.

I am tres annoyed.

[Dutchygamer]

Well, it does solve the problem of achievement-only servers (where ppl kill just for achievements), but on the other hand, this ain't much different as CodeCat already mentioned. I also prefer the other system: then the achievements are more then just bragging rights...

[TheDR]

The unlock system is Bugged at the moment people.

It should give out weapons more frequently and it should give out hats rarely, you are getting duplicated because Valve is going to put a trade system in soon.
And also its not skill based or class based, its time based. The more you play, the more unlocks you get.

[Ion Cannon!]

If thats how its intended to work thats still lame. The old system of getting unlocks through achievements was much better, it gave you something to work towards and a sense of accomplishment, now achievements mean nothing.

Gabe Newell: There are different flavors of cheats. Some of them will get people banned. [For] some of them, we'll get people's Achievements reversed. If people want to get together on a server with their friends to crank out the Achievements, then that's an interesting way to play the game, and as long as they're having fun, they can go ahead and do that! [Laughs] If it gets them to play TF2, to sit in the spawn room with their friends and eat sandwiches -- one of the Heavy Achievements is to eat 100 sandwiches -- then that's fine.

and actully it doesnt solve the problem at all, now they are just "enter, let the game all the night, recibe unlocks tomorrow" servers

why not just picking the weapons you dont have by picking them in one game? or just give them to the people already, its not like they are upgrades

[TehKiller]

Whats worrying me is the new patch (which my Steam doesnt want me to dl for some odd reason and is thus blocking me from playing it) DOES NOT FIX any of the seriously bugged stuff
