Our wish is granted, and the Milestone system is back!

Fixed attackers seeing the mini-crit particle effect for full crits if the victim has the Jarate effect enabled
Fixed the Ambassador not doing damage to buildings

Fixed players killed by flaming arrows not showing the appropriate death icon

An update to the TF2 weapon system?

Is this the way we'll find items from now on?

Like everything else we build, we'll be iterating on this system for a while, and have a lot of features planned. Some of the next things we have planned are:

- Item trading. This is why you're finding duplicates.

- Giving players a method to influence the system so they can work directly toward getting specific items.

- Adding more rare items like the hats.

We're going to be working on and rolling these out while we're also working on the next class pack, with the goal being to get it all released before then.

So it looks like we're going to find more hats and being able to trade weapons!
I can't wait.

This system is terrible and ruined the game for me. :( Bring it back Captaine Milestones!

Man, the new system is totally based on your luck.. Someones can get the weapons in few hours, and someone has to play for days. I have waited for the new sniper and spy weapons and I cant get them, because I get only those old weapons... Already got 5 Blutsaugers xD. And Dr.Cola is right, there really should be the achievement unlock system still, and then the drop system for the hats and other incoming stuff. But the only drop system is from butt.. Well, you can still get medic, heavy, pyro and scout weapons by doing the achievements till milestone, but I have a feeling about that the Valve is going to remove them soon. So the random drop system would be the only way to unlock those stuffs. Man and I'm never lucky!

Well, Valve has told that there will come trade system and something else for this game, so you can trade between other players. Maybe after the system comes the game is nice to play again.
