The new unlock system is clearly biased towards the sandvich

The new unlock system is crappy and broken. I hope Valve update it, since I've yet to meet someone who actually LIKES it.

Nope, the levels mean nothing. It's a completely random system.

20+ hours played since the update and I've got 0 (zero) unlocks so far, not even duplicates. The new system is great only for new players (weekend deal players). :x

Team Fortress 2. I think this new unlock system may be useful if implimented correctly. It helps the people out there (like me!) who were having difficulty in getting the various achievements needed previously. At the moment it does seem a bit random though.

Why? The new system dictates that you play for a longer period of time to increase your chances of getting an item. I found this an interesting read though. http://forums.steampowered.com/forums/showthread.php?p=10051417#post10051417

I've played about five hours since the update and haven't unlocked anything :( .

By the way, how is an item found? I mean, I know is random, but suddenly a message appears saying "hey, you found this", you are walking and something pops in front of you or what?

Cactberry

A message appears at the bottom. Like where the text goes when you chat. Saying (lets say you got the huntsman) "*Your Name* Found: Huntsman" Then when you die a box pops up asking if you want to equip it, to whatever class the weapon falls under.

I got 3 the other day. 2 Jarates and a duplicate ubersaw.

I don't understand. This game requires more time than WoW to get items. I SERIOUSLY don't understand why they can't just give us the unlocks. It'd solve too many people playing as the classes (they'd get over it in a day). It'd solve frustration for newer players who can't do achievements. It'd make EVERYONE happy. Valve, do you seriously think people are going to 'trade' forever. Once they get their items, they'll blow it off as a nuisance. The only thing worth trading is the hats.

Buff the Ambassador too. It's a PoS that looks good. Kinda like American sports cars. I mean it deals less damage than the revolver... I thought it was supposed to be a "hand cannon." It seems more like a "hand sanitizer."
