Valve have released a new update for Team Fortress 2 with a bunch of fixes and changes to the crafting system. The details from the
official announcement:
- Fixed a server crash caused by using the Half-Zatoichi to hit someone not holding a weapon.
- Fixed the Soldier/Demoman taunts not working correctly when the Half-Zatoichi is the active weapon.
- Fixed the Concheror animations not always playing correctly for players on the Blue team.
- Fixed a bug where players could switch weapons after deploying the Half-Zatoichi before they killed someone with it.
- Updated The Shogun Pack items to be tradeable.
- Crafting changes
- All recipes are now known to all players.
- Reduced the cost of most recipes.
- Items previously crafted using recipes that will be reduced in this update have been upgraded to Vintage quality.
I am completely out of touch with Team Fortress 2 these days so someone will have to translate in the comments what this means for the game!

If they had like a barebones server with all the original weapons, outfits etc and none of those damn hats I would still be playing this all the time.

Hats are ridiculously hard to get except during special events (without buying them), but their great in identifying certain players and some do give me a chuckle every time I see them.
Weapons drop more frequently and they certainly provide a lot more variety in play styles. I'm especially loving the Soldier's 'Direct-Hit' (which has low splash, fast travel but bonus damage for direct hits) and 'Black-Box' (low ammo, but gives you 15% health of damage to enemy) and Engineer's Wrangler (replaces shotgun but allows you to directly control the sentry gun and also buffs it with more firepower and a shield).
Also should point out that certain combos of hats and weapons equipped provide a bonus (and a negative to balance it).
Even though I've been playing since release I still have no idea the advantage of vintage items...
