Not sure where but the unlock system is confirmed for broken. Weapons should be much more plentiful says Robin Walker, but the cosmetic hats are the rarities. When will they fix it? Who fuckin knows.
Ambassador was ridiculous. Hit boxes were a complete joke and I wrecked shop all day just running around shooting people before they fixed it. Hit boxes and accuracy fall off are now corrected, much harder to use but still worth it if you can shoot the head. Balanced currently imo
I don't have any others but they all look well done.
Dead Ringer is fun. It feigns death in every way; body, kill spam, scoreboard. I've killed a spy a few times only to retreat and have him stab me. You'd think people would expect it after a bit, but in the heat of the moment you don't really consider it. Will probably get shittier as people get more aware.
Cloak and Dagger. No clue. Seems useful for those patient folk.
Huntsman is badass. Don't think it's OP, but you're able to pop off a decent shot in a tiny amount of time. Plus there's no scope, so if you can learn to shoot from the hip and headshot it has the potential to be extremely deadly. Tough part about that is there's apparently an arc to the no-charge.
Jarate is also badass, though probably underrated by most. 35% more damage is awesome. 100 damage rockets, pipes, edge of stickies, etc etc will now one shot the 3 125 hp classes in the game, two of which are being played like crazy right now. Losing the SMG isn't a big deal if you can no-scope properly.
Razorback is a fun pub toy. Good for not getting shanked 100 times. Useless in comp but all in all not bad for what it does. Would rather have the piss but to each their own.
My verdict is that the weapons are balanced but all the game changes are dumb. Hate payload race. It's a boring unimaginative spamfest. haven't played hoodoo yet. Might have a long time ago. Pushing carts is dumb. This game needs more GOOD gravelpit-esque maps. (Fuck no, junction. Broma was warmer but still doesn't cut it. I'm partial to steel but would like something a little more open.) Silly hats are cute. Spy and sniper taunt kills are sweet now that they fixed the spy exploit. Kritz bong hits for health is awesome. Valve should just promote the guys who work on the characters and fucking fire the guys who do everything else.
