The official site is up! Discuss here!

Edit: Lulz. Apparently the TF2 community has brought down the TF2 site.
Edit2: Here's the page for those that can't load the site.
The wrench log page thingy implies there's gonna be 100 golden wrenches dropped. 25 already have been.
Default page:

Not dropped, crafted!
Twenty-five of the people who wisely chose to stay home and craft items, on the other hand, now have shiny new ultra-rare golden wrenches that they can keep.
That new shotgun is the shit! Me likey!
-
There is a random chance of getting one every time you craft anything, which is why they disabled crafting better metal back to worse metal.
I crafted everything I could and didn't get it!
Again valve is rewarding people who don't play very often, as they will get a TON of drops, while the people who play often have probably already reached their cap, and can't get any more items to craft this week. Yay!
-
HaHA! I was right!!!...sort of
Well, maybe the shotgun didn't do this, but I was right that SOMETHING would!

"The Wrangler" lets engineers aim their sentry gun! Boo-yah!
The sentry won't aim by itself, but takes 66% less damage (holy poop! That's a lot!), and it shoots bullets 2x faster, and missiles a bit faster at level 3.
And if you put the wrangler away, the sentry won't do nuthin for 3 seconds.
Also, new payload map!
And finally, Valve, with their infinite compassion, has increased the weekly drop limit for this week! Yay!

Yet a hat eludes me...
-
Ugh I just need more items so I can get more metal. I've already got my medic token. The best thing would be as I craft a new medic hat I also get a golden wrench. A man can dream.
Also, HAVE YOU SEEN THE NEW PAYLOAD MAP IT LOOK AWESOME!
-
That new map looks great. It's about time we got a Valve created payload map that wasn't PLR...
-
It would be cool if when you use the wrangler, you snap to a first person view from the sentry gun...like the old defend the beach games or other shooters. Leaving the engy vulnerable, Although 10-1 this turns into a situation where two engies take a choke point and just spam a single direction for a whole round. with increased bullet and missle fire rates....it would be almost unstoppable(the second engy repairing and reloading the sentry)
-
Oh I agree Lyriq. I am a payload fan all the way, and yet I hate PLR maps. When they released the info about Frontier Justice I was pumped(lol) because I thought maybe they were going to turn Frontier into an official map.
-
AHHHH look at the bottom...from the watchmaker, another different wrench...but I want a golden wrench!!! I will be so sad...
Never-the-less...New Wrench!!! looks very aggresive...wonder what it does?
-
The new map, hightower, is a payload race map. Look at the pic on the website now...there is both a red and a blu turn in, each destroys a red or blu radar dish.
Sorry to burst bubbles, its what I do.

I like PLR, I think they're fun. Why do others hate them so much?
-
Some people say that they stalemate a lot (even though I don't see that often). I like them too.
I wish the elevators at the end of this new map would be interesting, but they're going to be JUST like the last hill on pipeline.
-
Don't know if this means anything, but I just found this:

Yeah, that showed up recently. I'm guessing another wrench replacement.
-
The Gunslinger! Let's you drop mini-combat sentries. They go up faster, can't be upgraded, and do half damage, but looks like you can drop more than one.
And another new Payload map! THUNDER MOUNTAIN!
