Uh, the fact that other games have unlockables doesn't automatically mean that they "belong" in FPSes. If his position is that they don't belong there, simply pointing out that they are there doesn't refute his point. And it doesn't excuse TF2 for having them.
My whole point is that yes you can give good reasons why unlockables work or do not work in TF2. BUT it's stupid to say something slike what "belongs" and what doesn't in FPSes in GENERAL. Genres aren't set in stone, and if something doesn't work for TF2 it doesn't mean that it cannot work for all FPSes.
We're not game designers, and pointing out that many FPSes have unlockables just shows you plenty of actual game designers feel they do belong in certain FPSes.
