Yeah... but the community asked for it to not be tied to achievements as well... |

Yay! Back to the achievement servers to get instant gratification while missing the point entirely! Yay!
Ok, to be fair, this does better accommodate those who actually work for the achievements (which I didn't for the scout update, and wish I had eventually), which are fairly sane this time. And the problem Valve said they were primarily avoiding (people not getting to play with the new stuff at all through lack of grinding) is sort of solved. However, the old problems of class rushes and achievement servers rear their ugly heads again. Maybe they'll find a way to get unlocks to everyone eventually without a grindable method in future updates.

Doesnt matter what they do in order for you to 'earn' weapons, there will ALWAYS be away round it unless they just give everyone all the weapons....
Even random drops was beaten by idle servers..... perhaps theyve learnt their lesson n to not mess with things that were working fine...

Awesome, I got spy 1, 2 and 3, and sniper 1 & 2 (1 away from 3, but I had all the sniper stuff anyway).

Obviously the milestone system is better. It really sucked when people were actually playing useful classes and having fun games like before the update instead of everyone flocking to the Sniper/Spy classes and having pointless stalemates.

If they're still insistent on those random drops (and don't remove the milestone way of doing things from previous classes) then this makes sense. I still wish every weapon was auto-unlocked somehow.
What milestones unlock what weapons?

Sniper 1: Huntsman
Sniper 2: Jarate
Sniper 3: Razorback
That's at a guess. I'm sure about the razorback though, considering I got it that way.
Not sure about the Spy.
