TF2 Question n help

So how do unlocks work now? It seems that they are just randomly given out. Like you dont even have to do anything to get them. HOw does the unlock system work?

Also how do i uber charge the other person. I use the 2nd medic gun, after i get 100% i right click and i only get ubered and not the other player im healing. What am i doing wrong?

Also how do i get hats and all the cool non-usable items?

I'm still a newb myself, but I think it has something to do with achievements.

Someone explain :D

Hold both buttons at once for the entire duration.

Also, drops works like this(Taken from http://news.bigdownload.com/2010/04/21/team-fortress-2-tweaks-item-drop-system/ because I can't be bothered explaining right now due to the engineer update page on the TF2 blog just appeared)

"Fans have had mixed feelings about Valve adding in a way to have random drop items into matches of Team Fortress 2. Now their long running multiplatyer shooter is getting some tweaks. One of them is that instead of "rolling" to see if players get a random item or not the new version "rolls" to finding out when the next drop will be made in the game."

Valve has also put in a maximum limit on playtime per week in which you can get item drops. Finally the rate of item drops is supposed to increase. Valve hopes that the ultimate result is that ordinary players will get item drops more frequently..

Thanks i thought they were random. I remember getting the milestones and getting a new item for each class. Now its mostly randoms tho, so thanks.

And i swore i used both buttons on the uber. Ill go check..

well i got an uber charge and it turned me glowing red, but not the heavy infront of me. what gives.
