Oh.. Hats... and VIDEOS! Who cares. I wish valve would spend there time fixing the classes and the their previous updates instead of releasing this cosmetic crap that serves no purpose except appeasing the mass pubbers.
Will hats make playing the game more fun for me? No. I care about the gameplay, not if my heavy is bald or has a head of hair.
And while the videos are funny, they take Valve ages to make for just a few laughs. After the first few laughs, it's worthless. I'd rather see them spend that time on upgrading their engine, patching and working on TF2 and Hammer, or maybe working on Half Life 2 episode 3.

Thats exactly what I hate about these kinds of updates. What I bought way back in October 07 is not what tf2 is currently. Them using tf2 as their own experimental sandbox for stupid ideas is what gets me.

its a shame you hate improvements
since I bought it, tf2 has become progressively more fun, the complete opposite of what you would expect from most games
and as I said earlier...I love the idea that tf2 is their sandbox, the odds of improving the game are far higher then the odd of them completely screwing it over, and if they keep using it as a sandbox they will keep supporting the game for a long time...

i love valve's whole approach to having a dynamic game. i like that it changes and evolves. it increases the life-expectancy of the game at no cost. its both an excellent business model AND gameplay model. lesser games would have been way unbalanced after all these updates, but the biggest accusation you can lay on tf2 updates is at most a mild imbalance [depending on who you talk to].
hats off [no pun intended] to valve.

I'm still as neutral as ever. By which I mean I'm going to ragequit TF2 forever if they screw up and add a lot of useless crap (which is, at the moment, no longer impossible), or if everything turns out awesome, I will be very happy indeed - but I'm not going to moan or celebrate yet.
What I hate the most about the TF2 community in general is its tendency to moan and whine about absolutely everything as soon as Valve touches their game.
Just STFU, wait and see, THEN respond. No need to get all upset yet.

Actually there still could be another method, just not tied in with achievements.
From Interview: "Our goal is to ensure that they all get to have some fun finding items and making some choices about which ones fit their playing style. "

I have to agree here. Recently my regular servers have been losing connection to steam and so the loadouts fail. Playing TF2 without the updates was painful. As far as switching tactics was concerned i just went engi before getting bored and leaving.
Which probably sounds odd coming from someone who plays a class that hasn't been updated yet.
Generally people don't like change as it messes with their immediate KD ratio whilst they have to get comfortable adapting to the newer tactics available to players. Tactics provided to make a more fluid gameplay, not ensure that you can exploit your classes single strength excessively.
When all the classes are fully updated it'll be interesting to see where the game stands. Even though i think i actually had better alt weapon idea's for the sniper than what have thus far been provided from steam there will be a whole lot more to the game. I bet you'll hear a lot more people whining about failed loadouts at this point than how supposedly retarded the updates are.

They said that weapons might also be provided as random drops from kills.
