TF2 : WAR Update (Solider vs Demoman)

Its really buggy today with people not getting milestone weapons and normal weapon drops not happening, crafting working now and again, the servers are getting pounded
 
Well after playing a good few hours today, I have achieved soldier milestone 3, but got no buff banner for my efforts :( I hope it will be fixed and appear in my inventory as I don't want to idle but don't want to have to wait ages for it.

I've been using the direct hit and I think it is significantly better than the normal rocket launcher. The shield and sword is quite powerful too - especially when you are on your own without any team mates to help take him out. Don't have the sword yet so have no experience using it. I guess we will have to see how balanced these weapons are when the class distribution returns to normal and people get used to fighting them.
 
The Equaliser achievements seem to be glitched for me, I can earn any HP<25 kills and Ive done the triple kill with no healing twice without getting it

Unless Im doing something wrong that is
 
Does anyone else think the crafting is overly complex? I se from the wiki you need to trade in 11 weapons to get a new one, 81 weapons to get a random headgear and 112 to get a specific headgear... All within some layered item crafting setup of reclaimed, refined, scrap etc
 
I was quite lucky, I found the banner then a few minutes after i unlocked the first milestone for the new melee weapon. Just gotta get the Direct Hit now.
 
Ended up playing quite a bit yesterday and I have to say the targe is great, made me realise how rubbish I am with sticky bombs compared to the grenade launcher. Even just using the bottle its pretty good and combined with the sword for a longer reach its even better, plus a few kills with the sword your speeding about and are back up to or over the demos normal health.

Only got two drops yesterday but one of them was the camera beard, my first hat...well kinda a hat.
