I hate it.
Well, let me elaborate. I love the new content and scoreboard changes
D) but I hate how you get the unlockables now. Its so stupid to just hand the weapons out at random. Yes its good that IT gets rid of those achievement grinding servers but its stupid that anyone can stumble upon the unlocks. You end up with players who dont know who to play with the unlockable guns which for some reason bugs me. They should be a reward, not a gift.
I hope they get the patch soon to allow trading because I've 4 heavy gloves and 1 medic gun all of which I already had and I cant get the sweet spy/sniper stuff just cause I'm unlucky.

Agreed. I like that you don't have the achievement stuff but it needs to be tweaked. According to the valve blog it will happen though. Supposedly they are changing exactly how you can get the unlocks. Also the massive amount of spy and snipers can get a bit annoying. Unless of course you play pyro

yeah...I hope they do change the drop system. It's a bit annoying TBH, though I did get a medic gun yesterday in that server we were playing in xD lol. But I really don't see the point in trying to earn achievements now, I worked hard to get all of the pyro stuff through the achievements and it was fun. But now the random is just crap.
I joined one server and there was litterally about 5 snipers and 5 spies on each team with about 15 people max per team! so annyoing...if youre not getting shot in the face you are getting stabbed in the back.

kinda lame because now everyone plays as the freaking snipers and spies 
I found my love for the medic last night though! 
How do you know if you get any of the bonus stuff?

It pops up full screen saying you found ___ item do you want to equip now or store it.
Ehh...kinda. I think once you learn to work with them they're better than the base weapons. IDK, steam does a really good job at balancing them and such.

Valve has made the statement that they aren't better, it just changes game play style for that class. They each have ups and downs. I think they might need another patch to work out some things that might be a bit off, but I think all n all its going to be good. I cant wait until they release Demo, soldier and engie. I'm not sure if they are planning on doing engie, but demo and solider should be interesting.

I haven't found any of the weapons yet. But I did already have the milestones for the others guys, and if you had that you can change your weapons around and such, I've done it. People kept asking me where I found it, but I told them I just equipped it so yeh...

Well, I personally think thats good. If you were getting items every game, it would be the exact opposite of awesome. I personally think they hand them out too frequently. It should be like every 5 or 8 hours of play or so.

Defiantly man, it should be low. However it should auto loot without walking over the body or anything. Because if your a sniper or really any other class you could miss it.

Wait, I didnt realize you had to physically walk over the weapon...are you sure about this? I thought just walking over the weapon gave you ammo.
I got jarate last night, how you walk over a thing of jarate?

I already had it, got another one and I have got 2 of the Medic syringe guns...I don't even play medic! I hate the new system...no way of working towards something...its just totally random and stupid.

IT says on the TF2 website they have a patch coming out soon. It will allow trading in multiple other unlocks for the weapon you actually want. Its rumored this patch will come out tuesday =/ I just wish they went back to the old system.

I played all weekend and only got an ubersaw lol I hope this thing changes for the better.

Yeah same. I got a quite a bit of old crap.
IMO, a change for the better would be a switch back to the old system but its too late for that. Either everyone would be pissed because they have useless duplicates or everyone would be pissed cause everything got taken away. Valve has sorta dug themselves into a hole with this one. It'll be interesting to see what happens because it seems like no one is happy right now and no one will be happy regardless of the outcome.
