Team Fortress 2 Adding Matchmaking & Competitive Mode

The Team Fortress 2 blog introduces the gaming world to a brand new concept they call "matchmaking." It's pretty outrageous stuff, apparently the idea is to create matches in the multiplayer shooter based on some sort of measurable criteria, in what seems to be a blatant slap in the face of random haphazardness. This is part of a "Meet Your Match" update that will add a competitive mode to the game, and will rework quickplay to try and create balanced games as well. They also have details on new maps and the new game mode the update will bring, along with a trailer celebrating the news. Here's the overwatch, err, overview:

Introducing Competitive Mode, a ranked 6v6 game mode featuring all nine TF classes. Climb the comp mode ranks to earn up to 18 titles and badges. Track all of your match and ongoing stats in-game. You can even earn stat medals by scoring in the top percentile of all players in your rank. Read the Competitive Mode FAQ for more information.
