Hi guys, just a brief update on Team Fortress 2
You should have already known about the sniper and spy update and some occasional tweaking of the game..
Latest update on the their blog..
We are expected to have a "classless" update.
In classless, I do believe they meant
All classes are gonna get something out of these, so equal.No targeted/Specific class is gonna be updated

So anyway, I read the update page,
which you can find here, and it says that more hats are incoming..
so We can be expecting the following possibly:
Red sentences/Words mean maybe not
Blue sentences/words mean possibly
Green sentences/words means quite possibly/Confirmed
1) Increased chance of getting hats due to more hats
2) The first sets of hats will be given automatically?
3) The hats will be applied into the milestones as rewards for getting either all weapons unlocked or all achievements attained

That's all for Hats, now for the new arena map, Offblast..I'll just paste what the description of it is on the update page:

Arena Offblast is a fast-paced, high-altitude community map set in a top secret missile silo wedged into the top of a hollowed-out mountain. Open-air paths and narrow hallways converge on a central control point located just under the silo’s blast doors.

This mountaintop arena also boasts a sheer cliff face encircling the battleground, giving you the chance to help your opponents improve their tactics. Specifically, anyone you blast over the side will get some time to think about the various flaws in their “standing next to the edge of a cliff” strategy as they plummet to an excruciating, non-respawnable death.

If you can't see the above text. You may want to go look at it for yourself

Okay..that's all..hit the Thanks button if you liked this, but all credit goes to the Team Fortress 2 developers and Valve.

Edit: Some text from the update page for hats

Throughout history, men have worn hats as a way of showing how much better they are than other men. “I buy hats,” a behatted man seems to say. “I am better than you.”

In wartime, hats were a useful way of conferring rank, and ensuring that casualties were confined to the lower classes (hence the famous command of “Don't fire till you see the tops of their heads” at the Battle of Bunker Hill by William Prescott, a general renowned for only shooting enemy combatants who were poor). During peacetime, hats have been instrumental for men to let the non-hatted know just who is wearing the hat around here.

And that’s the entire history of hats. The history you were spoon fed at school, that is, in your government-run hat class. But here’s a little truth bomb your teachers, pastors and ombudsmen of your regional newspapers DON’T WANT YOU TO KNOW: Team Fortress now has MORE hats. We hope this didn’t blow your mind out of the top of your head, since you’ll need a place to put all these cool new hats.

Notice the phrase: "I buy hats", could this mean we can swap something for hats?
Also: some people on forums have the ideas of that you can get hats by killing a opponet with hats?
