God I love Valve so much.
Brilliant short (Meet the Pyro is going to have a hell of a time being better than Medic), absolutely awesome new weapons and the new map is really well thought out.
Mind you, theres quite a few bugs, such as the Demo's Grenade Launcher not launching, but instead laying "airborne mines" and the Solly's standard shotty refusing to work, but it's been a fantastic patch.
Just to those who are concerned about F2P, there are restrictions:
Free
Backpack: 50 slots
Items: Standard
Crafting: Limited blueprints
Trading: Receive items only
Gifting: Can receive gifts
Premium
Backpack: 300 slots (expandable up to 1000)
Items: Standard, Rare and Cosmetic
Crafting: All blueprints
Trading: Full trading
Gifting: Can give and receive gifts
"EVERYTHING ELSE IS THE SAME"
Oh so tempted to buy the Uber pack from the store but it costs an arm and a leg ($99!).
It also seems like F2P is the way to go for making money for several devs and gives the customers a chance to demo the games to see if they like it.

Yep. Steam has been Mac compatible for awhile now, and supports Mac versions of Portal, Portal 2, the Half-Life saga, and Team Fortress 2 (among others).

Now no one has any excuse. It's time for some doctor-assisted homicide.

I don't like the game, but I think this shows us again how Valve are the most generous developer out there.

Correct, anyone who bought the game before it became F2P is a premium account. And you get a free hat for it.
Which is what matters the most.

I've said it before, I'll say it again.
Valve need to go into the movie business, starting with TF2: The Movie.
