I don't think they would mention that kind of thing, if they didn't intend to give Engie some weapons too. Valve are major trolls.
There was this cool idea on SPUF, that Engineer got pissed about not getting a pack and hacked the website to give himself weapons, even if Valve said that Engie will get nothing.
I'm posting this on a mobile browser so I don't have the link, but a Valve employee confirmed no engie weapons would be in this update because of "no quality user submissions," which I disagree with.

Seriously? There were times when Valve actually made something themselves, now they are stalling just because no one has submitted anything good for the engie? Honestly...
And especially now, when they're getting shitloads of cash from Mann. Co store.
F2P TF2... Oh man, this makes me extremely sad...
Time to bury Team Fortress 2.
Why do people find this a bad thing?
More community, and a reason to make more items, for the manco store!
The only downside are hackers, but Im sure valve has some fix for that.
EDIT:OK this is how it works.
There are free acounts, and premium accounts
Anyone that has spent money on TF2 in any way whatsoever(this includes buying the game) you get the premium account and nothing gets changed. You also get a hat if you bought the game.
Free players cant trade, only recive gifts. Have limited backpack slots and blueprints.
They get "standard items" and we get "standard rare and cosmetic" whatever that means.
And they are keeping an eye out more for hackers and trolls.

And a downside like hackers isn't enough? With free accounts, how will they be stopped!?
FYI the last 2 questions are switched.
They ask about hackers, and then answer a question about coaching, then ask about coaching and answer about hackers.
I've watch Meet The Medic like 5 times already. Kinda sad to do so yeah buuut daaaamn is it awesome. I may watch a few more times tommorow as well until every word is engraved in my brain like Meet The Spy was. Thank god I've got free time now other wise I'd feel extremly guilty.
So Meet the Medic was fantastic, new items, free to play, hats, everything. All i've seen across the net is bitching.
"VALVE HAD BETTER COMPENSATE ME FOR PAYING FOR THE GAME"
This is what happens when you're nice.
or OMG TEH GAME IZ FREE NOW SINCE EVERYONE TAT DIDNT BYE THE GAME R CLEARLY HACKERS TIS SUX BYE TF2!
Lord.
And technicaly we get a hat and a premium account.

Really? I wasn't fond of Meet the Medic. You didn't really learn anything about him other then he lost his medical licsense. With others you actually learned about them. While it was a good video as a "meet the" was pretty bad.
Also no engie weapons? WHAT THE HELL!? My two favorite classes are engie and Medic. While I'm happy with the Medic items engie is still my #1.
So the Medic's name is clearly Frank N. Stein for me now.
And free to play TF2 is not a good idea. The last time I saw a hacker it was during a free weekend. If there is no cost for the game there is no loss in a VAC-ban. All you need is a new account to cheat until you are detected and banned a long while later.
Just saw Meet the Medic. Liked it but I was expecting more backstory on Medic's life since we don't know anything about him. I wouldn't call it Meet the Medic but Meet the Übercharge.
I'm disappointed in some things:
-No new Medic's voice clips, 3 years of waiting for those.
-Nothing for the Engineer, come on Valve 2 packs for the Soldier? Meh -_-
-The store prices are simply insane especially for europeans many things are 1$ = 1€. I don't buy stuff from there and I never will but others want to and can't.
It's cool that TF2 went free and all but the quality of the game is probably doomed from now on, well it all started with the hats and trading but now I'm fairly sure it's going to get a lot worse.
Now I hope Valve is working on FPS increase fix and/or broken in-game stuff.
Now why doesn't that make me feel any better? Even if this system is actually brilliant, which I doubt it is, I mean Valve's famous VAC was effective, as long as people couldn't just create another account without any loss of money. Someone will crack it, especially when there is NOTHING at stake.

Ehat did you learn about spy in meet the spy? That he bangs scouts mum and backstabs people. Engineer, he is smart and builds big guns. Soldier, he's a goddamn lunatic. Demoman, depressed alcho. Heavy, likes his gun. Scout, fun loving prick. The onlt one where you really learn anything about the character outside of your knowledge in game is the Sniper and his strained relationship with his parents, the videos serve more as a showcase of that class's abilitie rather than giving them a backstory.
as for no engie items, on the facepunch forum you can find a posting from one of the devs, they say engie recieves the fewest item submissions and they haven't gotten anything quiet up to scratch as yet
To be honest the Meet The videos never really added back story to any of the characters, sure the sniper has parents but so does everyone I'd asume, I can understand the disapointment because of the lack of but I guess I wasn't expecting any. They simply showcase who the character is, gives you an example of their personality outside of when they're fighting which is what I think I like. I'm also disapointed by the lack of new medic lines but I didn't go in with the highest expectations. The update over all was pretty basic. Some classes get new stuff and the game is free now, which also doesn't bother me. The update was meh but I sure did love Meet The Medic.
Got the game now that it's free, although I lost all of my hats (had to change accounts) and don't even know if I can run it. But I'll give it a try at some point.

Valve? Trolling? NEVER.
And either an anoucement which hurts engineers, or a trolling.

Depending on how it runs on my computer, I think I could be joining you guys soon. Maybe >.>
Valve hasn't confirmed this yet, this thing can still be fake.
If it isn't - hackers, HACKERS EVERYWHERE.
Leaked Meet the Medic:

And this is a confirmation from Valve that TF2 is free as well.

We're fucked, we're very very fucked.
Read my edit.
Valve have some way around that.
Any way, my best friend has been wanting this game, so he'll be glad to see this game is free.

Sure beats the "We have a system to fight the flood of hackers" in the groin.
EDIT:Oh come on, at least see what they do.
Already tried it, got a new interface and all. Looks nice.
