About time! Pretty much what I was expecting, plus the whole idea of being able to get new weapons without grinding achievements.

Sniper pack incoming, and Meet the Team videos still coming, probably the best so far!

I'm confused and happy.

 

[Jintor]

I'm still kinda annoyed by all this RPG interaction. Stop affecting the actual game, guys! Visual doo-dads are awesome and all, but aside from the alternate weapons, TF2 is just getting really confusing.

The primary change here is simply the decoupling of achievements and unlockables, which is the source of most of the negative feedback we've received around previous class packs.

Oh, good.

 

[Wanted Bob]

I dont like the ideas of hats, both as cosmetic and game changing items. The characters have so much charm that I dont want them to change in terms of their own appearence.

 

[Absinthe]

You could always not wear a hat.

Even the Demoman getting an Afro? :afro:

Even the Demoman getting an Afro? :afro:

Especially not the Demoman getting an afro.

 

[Sheepo]

My only concern is that if Valve continues making DLC to this ridiculous degree, we may never see a new game again!

ya this update is scaring me a little
i REALLY hope it doesn't kill the game
glad to hear that community feedback is so important though
