Excitement! I'm liking the huntsman so far, although I'm dubious about how often it will be used. seems anyone going sniper wants to use a sniper rifle, and if they wanted a mid range weapon they would go any other class.
I like the idea of the arrows staying embedded in you until you die and (provided the arrows glow team colour) could be a very effective spy targetting system. I think it would be good if the sniper, probably the least team orientated class, had a way like this to help the team out. could be especially good if coupled with the possibility of the jar-ate having some kind of spy catching mechanism
thoughts?
Quote"Now, hold on," you keep saying. "Aren't bows and arrows primitive and harmless?" Why don't you ask the dinosaurs? Except you can't, because the cavemen bow and arrowed them to death.
lmao
Yeah, I'm probably going to keep my rifle.
But I'll eat up anything they give me for the smg, anything'll be better than the smg.
Arrows? Mmmmm...
Cool, but not as cool as Jarate.
I sorta feel like people won't think it's original when I say I use Kukri Fu. I invented it before Jarate came along damn it!
Well this is interesting. I honestly couldn't come up with anything to replace the sniper rifle but this is a good idea. I like it!
I think this would be best used for arena well and granary, there's a lot of walls to pin people to there.
The bow and arrow seems like a novelty that will ware off half way through the first game...
Day 2
It's the new game mode we caught a glimpse of during the scout update! Looks like a lot of fun. Pretty much a double payload. seems from the snipers postcard that at a certain point, the carts will roll down a hill backwards immediately if not pushed, but I can't be sure. interesting!
Allright, new Arena maps.
However, even though I'm a sniper, it's really not that great to snipe in open arenas, it's just too little protection, thats why I never play it on watchtower.
Rain affects thing looks cool. I'll probably run into a sawblade just to see what its like.
I looked up adelaide st., there's only four of them, but there's a few red houses.
Quote from: Sniper Update "The Razorback"All the tribal craftsmanship in the world, it turns out, cannot stop a modern butter knife. So we taped a car battery to it. Sure, the added weight of the redesigned Razorback’ll slow you down a little. But any poor sap dumb enough to backstab you while you’re sporting one is getting a surprise to the tune of 10,000 volts. Plus, if they want to stab you again, they’ll have to wait until their knife cools down. Which is lucky for you, since the Razorback collapses into a million finely crafted pieces after a single stab.
Aww man, first i had to deal with the pyro's spychecking all the time and NOW i'm gonna have to deal with this aswell?
Why don't they go ahead and delete the spy while there at it too.
If it's the replacement of the smg, expect it to ruin your day every time.
If it's the replacement for the kukri, expect no one sensible to use it.

step up your game bro.
anyway, these updates dont seem that great so far, not that i use sniper anyway.
I already thought the sniper was pretty balanced despite his piss poor secondary weapon, the kukri made up for that.

OH SNAP
Sneakin' in a spy update too? Valve is too good to us.
I wonder if you can brake the shield with a gun shot
Quote from: HazardClock;1579170I wonder if you can brake the shield with a gun shot
my guess is no but you might be able to break it
I'm liking this idea because I didn't expect anything like it. I wanna know how visible this shield is gonna be to a spy. invisible so the spy just has to take his chances? or visible so that the spy has to asses the risk of stabbing but possibly dying? apart from swapping it for another one of your weapons, there isn't much downside for the sniper
also excited to hear if their really will be a spy update as well, because then I'm sure there will be a way for a spy to possibly but not entirely counter this shield. sounds funky
Dude, kukri is a better anti-spy deterrent when they throw out the pistol, which is what they'll do if they can't use the knife. If this replaces the kukri it replaces my #1 anti-spy weapon.
Definately'll be a Kukri replacer, since things like the Sandvich and Energy drink replaced the side arm, i'm sure Jarate will fill that too.
Eitherway, i'll stick to the Kukri 'N' GIV'EM THE OLD CHOP CHOP,
(http://www.teamfortress.com/spyupdate/)
Best entrance EVER
AWESOME
So wait, is it a double update, or are we getting no replacement for the shitty smg they stuck us with?
Also, if we're supposed to believe we killed the spy, will the decoy count as a kill when it gets brought out? Otherwise you'd be able to tell if the spy's really dead pretty quickly.
Also, personally, you'd think that they'd have Napoleon's greatest regret be he was never invisible, since the spy's french and all.
Pyro's gender confirmed

Yay Spy.
I knew it.
Great, I've been playing as the only female character since I got the game.
Pretty sure they only said "she" as a joke in response to the conspiracists "being right all along". It doesn't affect anything at all though but the pyro is definitely a lady now.

One thing I've noticed is that near your disguise icon where it says disguised as: soilder or whatever, it also says: disguise weapon. And the disguise weapon is randomized.
It could've been a server mod I guess, does anyone else see this?

Oh yeah and also we got the Sniper achievements.
I honestly cannot believe this, why did they give the sniper more of an ability to counter his counter this is so depressing
How am I supposed to easily back stab these n00bies now

I need this game now. Damn I have to get Parallels working...
One of the achievements seems like I can combine Jarate with my blackbelt in Kukri Fu.

IMPORTANT MINOR STUFF:QuoteStandard sniper rifle now shoots through friendly players
Updated Dustbowl to fix not being able to jump into the window in the first building of the second stage
Added 54 new Sniper voice lines
Made it more obvious on first person view model when your motion cloak is out of juice and you are partially visible
Also made it more obvious on first person view model when you're bumped while cloaked
Spies disguised as medics now have an Ubercharge: line in their disguise target info
Spies outward facing "disguise health" now matches their disguise target when they first apply the disguise
Spies can now pick up health kits for their "disguise health", even when uninjured
Added 70 new Spy voice lines
AWESOME MINOR UPDATESQuoteSpies can now use enemy teleporters
Demomen can now detonate their stickies while taunting
Added a new taunt for the Kritzkrieg, which also heals for 10 points
Demomen can now detonate their stickies while taunting
Flamethrower's air burst now extinguishes fire on friendly targets
Grenades and rockets deflected by a pyro under the effects of Kritzkrieg will now be criticals
The Heavy and Sniper now have new custom death animations
NOT-AWESOME UPDATEQuoteAdded "sv_allow_voice_from_file" convar, which defaults to 1. When set to 0, it'll prevent clients from using the "voice_inputfromfile" feature to broadcast wav files over voice
Well, loading the free version. Currently 0.7%. Wheeee. Also Steam name or whatever should be BinaryClock if anyone wants to add me and help with the learning process.
whyyyyyy does steam community have to die when i can actually earn a few achievements before i go to bed??????????????????????????????????????
so you get the weapons as random drops
fuckkkkkk
This new unlock system is terrible. They should have just introduced an XP system or a shop or something if they wanted to dissolve the correlation between achievements and unlocks.
Also, is it just me or is hit detection (especially with the flamethrower) completely cocked up now?
That aside I think the Demoman needs achievements and new toys like everyone else.
I think a good demoman weapon would be a firebomb for the pipebomb. Does less damage, lights enemy on fire.
I would like something thematic too. Where is he from? Caribbean? African? American?

Not a single unlock.
I got the razorback within the first 15 minutes of the update, other than that i've played/spectated/slept with computer on over 15 hours and only got sandvich (agian) and KBG (agian). Lammmmmeeeee
only played about an hour since update, so nothing yet. do they just appear in your inventory?
i've playing prolly like 20 hours and i've only gotten stuff i already have
new unlock system is gehay
I only have the huntsman. It's fine and all but, why would I want to replace my sniper rifle with it?

It really only seems to work if you can sneak around the enemy without having to go invis. I've gotten some nice kills with it but I can't really get past certain points on some maps because it requires running past the enemy and they'll notice I'm not one of them.
It is p good for escaping too.

I like that it takes away the usual ability to cloak. I started playing spy properly last week when the spy update was revealed (what's the point in playing with new weapons if you suck?) and got the hang of cloaking, running behind enemy lines, disguised, stabbing/sapping and cloaking straight away for the getaway.
With the dead ringer, there's more challenge. I have to continuously act like the opposing team, and change my disguise almost every time I am seen, whereas before I may have cloaked and run away, I might run round a corner, disguise as someone else then run back.
Whereas previously I might get a few stabs in per life (being killed by any good pyro, as soon as he realised I'm there), now I can hold the DR until the exact moment I stab, meaning that if I am figured out, I can, in seconds, hide, re disguise, and come back. The enemy don't expect the same spy to respawn so quickly, and so spycheck less. If they do spycheck I can just do it all again.
In short: I love the Dead Ringer
In short the new unlock system is bullshit
