I hate my slow computer!!! 30 minutes for an update is too long. I want to destroy snipers and spys as a pyro for fun!
Edit: HELL YES HATS!!! I will enjoy the Propeller hat for my pyro. But what do you think the hats are for?

I think they are for the people that earned all the achivements for a class.

Hey guys, don't worry about not being able to DL it, worry about the friends network! I finished the update but I sitll can't get online!

Gah! It's pyro heaven, spy heaven (c'mon, free weekend + spy update = new backstab record) and the Sniper gets a jar of pee. I must play this!

I wait all day for the update and I can't even play it.

This is sad day.
Try again: I did the same thing and now the update is about half done.

But of course, us 360 gamers get a nice big slap in the face and are told to shut up and sit down. Thanks a million Valve.

'Course, they did say they wanted to work the kinks out before they put it on consoles. Better late than never, I suppose.

Yeah I did. Then Steam crashed on me about 3 times.

So now the update is only 20% done, downloading at a rate of 10 KB per second.

I'm so using the Pyro hat!!

Just find servers that restric class numbers.
Doesn't really help when defensive pyro and offensive medic are the only classes I can play as.

Pyro is usually full in any class restricted server, and playing an offensive medic is worthless when others would actually use the class to heal.

has given up tf2 for a while as it is now impossible to move near my desk because of the 6 snipers peering through my window...

and its quite sad that on goldrush half of each team die as soon as the gates open.

Just finished, joined a server: six snipers on my team. WOW.

It's hilarious: the other team destroyed us with a smile and a tip of the hat.

I heard that the unlocks aren't even working.

So why are people spamming sniper/spy?

Well I have a good server so I'm going to remain optimistic about it.

Don't be.

There's only servers FILLED with snipers omni-sniping each other.

I see this as the perfect opportunity to work on my Scout achievements, since most of the lazy buggers won't be able to keep up with a Scout.

Achievement/unlock server is down. You can get achievements, but you're unable to get rewards, or use rewards you already own.

From shacknews: "Items now drop randomly, in addition to the old (pre Spy/Sniper unlockables) achievement tied weapons," said Walker. "We're going to release info on the new system on the blog tomorrow.

Wish they'd release info on the new system oh I dunno, before the new system is implemented. Right now I feel like someone got WoW in my TF2 and as much as I love Valve I'm feeling a little irked at the moment. Granted I'll get over it in time but it's a hell of a jarring change to go from having the achievements mean something and be something worth getting towards (even through actual play) only to now basically be like every other achievement.

And yes, the new system ruins the Achievement Farms (or does it, given how it seems just doing anything will randomly bequeath an unlock on someone?) but at the same time punishes the rest of us who were willing to put in the time and skill to unlock the other weapons

All is fixed, but the system for unlocks is retarded!
I spent all afternoon playing, and I got only the Cloak and dagger, oh, and the flare gun. Whereas people who just hop on for a round get the huntsman, razorback, and ambassador.
SO FRUSTRATING

Welp, I've come back from a set of battles...

And the result is the same as usual. Spies and snipers are being spammed on any server w/o class limits, achievement boxes are up and ready to go, and loads of people already have the unlocks (when they work). They don't even seem to work right now, as no-one can connect to Steam.
