Default [ABT]Valve explains new TF2 unlock system

Quote:
Most of the players were disappointed by the new weapon unlock system implemented by Valve in Team Fortress 2 with the deployment of the Spy/Sniper update. Here is what Valve has to say in their blog post

I like the system. I would never have time to do the achievements, with the times i get killed. I unlocked the bow, which is very meh and boxing gloves for heavy

I think it's fun. Just randomly getting stuff. IF we just randomly find items now I might actually like these new features they're implementing. Adds some fun factor imo.

It's also boring as hell when everyone has the exact same upgraded weapons at their disposal. At least now there will be some variety in what I get killed by.

Brilliant idea, those old achievement servers were seriously a disgrace to Valve's developers.

The thing that's bugging me about this is I only need Spy and Scout weapons. Yet with the 4 or so hours I've put into the game so far all I've managed is getting dupes of the weapons I already have... At least with the achievement system you were working towards a goal of a new weapon, now it's down to how long do I want to play to increase my gambling chance of getting something I don't already have.

Ahh well, can't get every update perfect

I think this is cool because it will allow many more new weapons. The achievements system wasn't really future proof.

So, basically you play for a set amount of hours and you will receive a new item?

Did anybody get headgear yet?

I like the old system, play and do those special things and get a reward for doing it, not just "Hey I didn't do anything but here's a new item!"
