I'm very eager to see that gun the Engineer has in the video. It looks awesome. Concerning the earphones, I originally thought that they would be some sort of generally available items that actually play music... The official TF2 songs, at least.
The new menu is unusual, but not too confusing. There are some new fun additions I like, for instance the Training and the Offline mode. Offline does not increase your stats nor can you get achievements, but you can find items at least.
BTW, have you seen the
comic?
