And here, friends, is proof that Valve now only updates the non-hat aspects of TF2 for business reasons.
Or maybe it isn't. Looking at the pictures, they seem to be in a regular hat store, albeit an eclectic one. Still, you have to give them credit for finding convincing IRL counterparts.

Well ain't this the truth?
For the $2.50 you can spend on a key to try and get a hat, you can instead trade the key for a refined and later trade the refined for a Napper's Respite or other crate hat. It's very easy to bypass the system, and the only reason I bother buying keys is to convert them into trading currency.
Pay to win? The only thing worthwhile out of crates are unusuals, and out of the unusuals (offensive descriptions, look out) I have, I only unboxed the Exquisite Rack and the Stove Pipe. You can get anything else with less effort; in a trading perspective, nothing in any of them is worth more than 3 refined.
EDIT: also why the fuck do people criticize gabe instead of robin

The "pay to win" drama just comes from the rarity of set hats and the fact that someone wearing just the weapons has a disadvantage to someone who has the hat as well. Even then, the only set hat that suffers from this is the Milk Man; every other set either has a downside or has too insignificant of an advantage to really matter. The Christmas sets don't even require the hat to have the bonus, so Valve has obviously learned from its mistake and doesn't plan on repeating it.
Crates have nothing to do with it. They're just dumb useless shit that won't go away.

I suppose it's because gabe is bigger in size, letting them to joke on him easily. That and Robin does sorta seem like he's not as involved in the decisions they make at Valve.

Oh god, unusuals. Out of all the claims of "breaking" the art style, the only items that really deserve it are the Swarm hat(still doesn't keep it from looking awesome on the Soldier) and Unusuals. Because hats in 60s spy movies are always on fire and haunted, right?
And that's exactly why they should be craftable; so they actually have a use other than eliciting micropayments.

More maps! Haven't gotten the chance to play them, so I'll reserve judgement until my non-shitty computer gets fixed.

Eh I thought is was alright. I kinda had fun playing as a Demoman on it; haven't had time or opportunity to try the other maps though...

Valve had a freaky 3-way with the TF community and the makers of some strategy game, and this is the result. Not exactly happy about the fact that this is both a packaging of community content and more promotional items, but the weapons seem balanced.
My only complaint is that the Fan'O'War is somehow not a giant wooden mallet.

Erm... why exactly is that off-setting again?
@Colson: Other than two promotional events ((Homefront, Shogun)) that passed, they actually fixed Demoman's stances with his two-handed weapons, and a few bugs or two. That and a few good weapons for Medic and Pyro may be created.

Fan is kinda awesome, main usage seems to be running up and hitting a heavy whom is under fire to make them die more quickly.
Haven't used the new banner enough in order to get a valid opinion on it.
Sword is awesome once you get over pulling it out accidentally and then being stuck with it.
Kunai can be useful but the minus 65 health makes playing him far too risky for my tastes.
