Main menu
From TF2 Wiki
The Main menu is the first screen the player is presented with upon opening the game. After a brief loading period in which one of three background images will appear, the interactive portion of the menu will appear along with 1 of 9 start up themes from the soundtrack.
The menu itself is divided into six sub-menus in three sections:
The menu options expand once you are playing in a server adding the Mute players and Disconnect options to the list. To access the menu in game just tap esc.

Character Info and Setup (formerly 'Player Stats')
This section features two tabs: Loadout and Stats
This loadout tab allows the player to modify the weapon loadout of each individual class to suit his individual play style by replacing the default weapons with any unlockable weapons the player may have earned. The player uses this tab to modify his loadout either before or during a game. The loadout screen provides detailed information of the effects and abilities of each weapon. It also shows the "Level" of each weapon, though the significance of this, if any, is yet unknown. The loadout screen also contains the backpack, in which unlocked weapons, items and hats are stored.
The stats tab shows the player the detailed player statistics gathered by the game, with Your Performance Report and Your Best Moments' tables showing your own personal records and total playtime. These can be sorted by class, playtime, points etc.
Beneath the stats tables is a small Tip section which can be toggled on or off.
