Imho, the bunch of new items with different levels and different abilities we are getting will confuse newcomers even more than the current unlocks. Hope there won't be too much weapons with stun or knockback.
This is not good for the concept of TF2. Since the Medic unlocks, I thought "This doesn't fit with what I heard in developper commentary". Now this is even worse.
(For the first part of my post, just use GCFscape, or look at ubercharged.net. Easy to guess then.)

For the record, all the "attribute descriptions" have been in there since before this update. Pretty much all of them are already in use on unlockables, and the ones that aren't were going to be at one time (overheal gun, before the kritz).
However I'd like to point out the most easily missed entry that carries so much meaning...
“of” ”of”
...Medigun of Overheal? Rocket Launcher of Crit +1?

The last bit of new content Valve gave TFC was the map ravelin and Engineer teleporters in 2001 or so. In total, TFC has 15 official maps by Valve.
That's how it remained. No new shiny achievements or weapons or anything were added. If you wanted to play something else, you would join a custom map server. We don't need Gabe Newell running around publicly endorsing what custom maps are "good" or not in order to play them.
Valve is overdoing it with the content. I know, initially, TF2 had far less content than TFC, especially in regards to learning curve, but this isn't helping!
I played Guild Wars from the December of 2005 (a few months after its release) up until the weeks following Eye of the North's release. I own all the games and remember everything from the old turquoise interface to back when the Hall of Heroes competitions earned your region the Favor of the Gods.As a former Guild Wars addict I love this
How the HELL is this anything like Guild Wars? Guild Wars barely had any unique apparel anyway, aside from holiday hats and one or two quest items.

It's a bit rpg-ish thats all. (and pvp guildwars has a (better and more advanced) system like tf2 since Nightfall)
I played GW since the release and stopped playing after finishing GWEN. I have played with big pvp guilds like iB.
Ontopic:
Some easy math: there are 30 slots for equipment: 3 weapons per class and 1 headgear slot (assuming there is 1 type of headgear/class)
so its 4*9 = 36
30 -36 = -6
Let's hope they increase that 30 this when all class updates are out :/

Might not be that every class gets a headgear item. Could be in to support just a single update for a single class, or just a few.
And/or could be a class might get a headgear and only 2 updated weapons. Or a single class might gain access to multiple headgears and have to pick one to be equipped.
Lots of options.
But the permanent delete? That might be an issue down the road. But that won't be until 21 more items are introduced. Long way off in my book.

I was okay with the alternate weapons, but now I'm seriously a little worried for the purity of TF2. I guess we just have to wait and see. It could be that all this new strange stuff really is for one new gameplay mode. Maybe you only keep items you've earned during the course of a round.
But if it really does become a big change, and not a good one, hopefully we'll be given the "vanilla TF2" option for servers.

I hope Valve play-test this new feature fully, because it could very well ruin TF2 wholesale.
And considering the reaction to the Scout Update...
Be afraid, be very afraid.

Tf2 is serious biznesss!!!!!
It is indeed.
Seriosly guys.. any more "oh noes tf2's becoming an RPG" and I might have to start banning people for not engaging their brains.
Headgear.. if you read the list of stuff eerieone posted almost all of the headgear have hemlet in their name... clearly they're not decrative but protection, logically from snipers in the upcoming update.
