Here's an E3 interview about the 2 games.

I've just got this far and its left me intruiged:

GC: *laughs* All right. When you unlock a new weapon, in an unlockable pack, it’s given a “level” when it lists on the loadout screen. Any hint as to what that might actually mean?

Weapon LevelEJ: No.

GC: No? Not a word?

EJ: No. No hints.

Hmm. Oh. The next answer kind of un-intruiges me again but its still making me wonder a little.

Also, OMG. We all lose my poll .

The class unlocks are a little faster to come out than the movies. For the next release, the Heavy, we’re going to have a short piece of linear media that isn’t a “Meet The” piece of media, but we’re going to have something out.

New TF2 video of some sort?

Oh.

It’s something we want to do more, so the Heavy release isn’t going to have a full “Meet The” video; we’re going to do something that’s much shorter but kind of a nod to that community.

Apparently its not going to be 'long' like the Meet the team videos, but 'short'. And seeing how long the meet the team videos are i'm thinking about 30 seconds max .

To try and do a class unlock… I think it was about five weeks between the Medic and the Pyro, and we’d like to keep that schedule. If you extrapolate out from there, with seven classes left, that’s 7-8 months of class work for sure. The class unlocks are a little faster to come out than the movies. For the next release, the Heavy, we’re going to have a short piece of linear media that isn’t a “Meet The” piece of media, but we’re going to have something out.
