So this thing is ready to go, and here are the highlights:

It's free to play these missions, however, to be able to earn items and rewards from these coop missions, you must buy an admission ticket for $1 US dollars (or equivalent).

As a free player, I am glad instead of sad. Why? Because I barely have enough backpack space most of the time and there are these vouchers that force you to get like 6 items at once! No thank you.

So basically all f2p's can do is play the coop mode, but with no rewards and badges. The rest of you still need to pay $1.00 to play the 'official' mode that has the rewards and stuff.

Each mission will be one map at a time. The paid ticket gets you into a "campaign" sort of mode which spans multiple maps in one go, from my understanding. They said more campaign type thingies will get released eventually, although there is only one now.

Been too busy playing GO for the first time today, anyone know if a ticket gets you a one-time or multiple time admission to the "campaign" type game? Not that I'll get one either way, I don't play TF2 anymore and the items earned wouldn't mean much to me.

Judging by the link, I'd say the ticket gets you one mission within the campaign-type thing. Cosmetic items seem to be the only real benefit though, as usual.

the mvm mode is currently highly congested. You wait about half an hour to be able to join a game.

My group has been in queue 3 times now, and every time we get into a game it tells us "Bad Password" and kicks us all out. It's really annoying.

Mann vs. Servers is more like it.

the queue thing is really bad, it looks like it's still in beta (which it is). Just find your own servers and watch for ppl that leave.
