@Mr Esc is the namesarcasm is my It's only your fault for having the mentality that you NEED/HAVE to pay money to get the new items which is for whatever reason in your mind, the only way to have fun in the game.
@DarkSan00 Most items can be obtained in-game (excluding promotional items and even in this case, you can make SOME of them) as you've always been able to. They can either be "dropped" simply by playing or you can craft them. The differing weapons are NOT upgrades. They're "sidegrades" (coming with both positives and negatives) that offer a different playstyle. Players are no worse off for using the stock weapons. The game still comes down to how well the player is.
@MrAlex Most of the servers auto-balance/team scramble if one side is getting rolled so it's no big deal. If our team is just SO bad, you (we) can just rage and join a different server. It's an "Uber" update because it relates to the Medic class which can employ an Uber (Invincibility) on a teammate and himself. Whether the contents today and those to come are actually "Uber" is a different matter.
They're being clever about the title since it means more than one thing.
