Epic exploit, the invisible taunt kill (not my vid)
YouTube - Spy Taunt Kill While Invisible lol!!
Quite hard to pull of actually as you have to get near to the enemy/sentry with almost full charge on your cloak. Tried it on 2fort and was semi useful once i got a technique down, managed to take down two sentrys, an engy and a dispencer in succession at one point in the intel room as destroying a sentry up close to it automatically picks up metal/refills your cloak.
And i can imagine the recharging cloak/knife upgrade makes this alot easier as you can just stand and wait for the cloak to refill before you stirke. Hopfully its patched quite soon as the only defence for it is even more sentry hugging (well running arround the sentry in a 2m circle with a wrench sentry hugging)
EDIT: YAY first got my first unlock,
boo its natasha that I got months ago....

So, i was playing sniper, i get killed, and as a reward i got a boost energy drink for the scout.
Wtf?
Wtf?
Played for three hours, got three unlocks: Jarate, Huntsman and the Ambassador. I guess I was lucky. Many people aren't so lucky though, there are many reports of players unlocking items they already had. Like having three Sandmans or something. Or people play for 12 hours and don't get a single unlock. I guess you can play for weeks or even months and be so unlucky that you don't get anything. These unlocks don't require effort at all, they just require luck. You can sit in spawn and go AFK for 8 hours and you might get a few unlocks... or not. And if you do, you might get the unlocks of a class you don't even play. At least with the old system you could choose which class you wanted to unlock weapons for.
I like the unlocks and new maps (Pipeline is great), but the unlock system is epic fail.
Oh, and the scoreboard icons suck. Overall, an update that is both really bad and good.

So hopfully it'll be fixed pretty soon, I'd be quite happy if it works out as 1 unlock for every 2 or so hours of play (obviously not so black and white as that) so that every few times you play the game you get some reward, will keep the casual players interested while the hardcore won't feel cheated when they never get an unlock.

It's just plain stupid because now achievements are pretty much obsolete. What motivation does unlocking achievements give me now if there's no reward at all? And it's not like it was SOOO hard to get those unlocks, 10-16-22 achievements ain't so hard to do. Now it's just BS. Like someone else above I was playing as sniper on 2fort and suddenly got that energy drink for the scout :/
Achievements are something little Xbox kiddies loved, so it came to PC. I've never liked them, and the only goal for getting them should ever be is just for the sake of getting them.
That last sentence, is why I have a problem with the new system. Inherently, it isn't a terrible idea...but it should at least unlock the stuff of the class you're currently playing...or a higher percentage of unlocking stuff from a class you have the most time played on.
I have a little over 9 hours played, and 0 unlocks.

I've got the Ambassador and another flare gun so far. I hate these post update weekends, everyone plays the updated classes and ruins the flow of the game, earlier I was playing on dustbowl and the rest of my offensive team consisted of 1 demoman, 5 snipers and 3 spies.
I don't think I like the direction TF2 is heading in. First the half-baked broken unlock system, and now this... they're adding a trade system. Isn't TF2 supposed to be a casual game? You know, just simple RED vs. BLU matches. How does the trade system even work? Will everybody be typing in the servers, requesting trades? Why can't we get the unlocks directly? The players no longer have any control over what they get and don't. It takes MUCH longer now to get the unlock you want, even if you don't farm them on achievement servers.
Speaking of achievement servers, Valve didn't like them. One of the biggest reasons why they did this.
Yeah, looks like it really worked, Valve...
(Warning: don't read the Steam forums for very long, or your brain will melt.)

I hope no one will take that video seriously, as the Ambassador is so bugged at the moment it's not even funny. It does less damage on crit (46) than a regular revolver shot at close range and does less base damage than the revolver as well, while, at least in my mind, it should do more base damage at all ranges and probably more or at least equal damage on crit. That's just a pub server with a horrible Blu team (they got boxed in into their spawn on Dustbowl stage 3, fer Chrissakes).
So far i havent got any more unlocks then just the scout one, it is taking forever.
Making it worse, i hate playing the scout.

I love the Spy, but playing him is a pain when the game doesn't have friendly fire. It also makes it seemingly noob friendly that Soldiers, Demomen, Pyros, and Heavies can all spray their fire without much fear.
Yay for the random system 11hours 1 old unlock, 1-2hours on the rps server 2 new items, no chance to use them as it was a half populated server and anymore than 1-2 sniper/spys is a waste
