We don't know if the unlockables will still be linked with the achievments. Valve announced they wanted to change the system, not sure if begining with this update or not. |

The unlockables won't be tied to the achievements - notice how there aren't any milestones for both the Sniper and the Spy. |

Updates usually came about 11-12pm CET  And I think they wont introduce new weapon unlocks system yet. And I did this config for relaxed pyro play during first few days of updatealias "WM1" "+forward; +attack" alias "SM1" "+back; +attack" alias "AXE" "slot3; +forward; +attack" bind "mouse1" "WM1" bind "mouse2" "SM1" bind "mouse3" "AXE" So you have free hand to change tv channels or eat carrots, while spies keep burning

I'd say Spies as Cowboys with the Ambassador and Snipers as Indians with their bows

OMG its out and spy receives everything we wanted ! Quote: Spies disguised as enemy spies now get a random mask to help complete the disguise, and their target id will be set appropriately
I love Valve i wanna marry them !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 And yes new payload map ! Quote: Added new map, Pipeline. Pipeline is the first map in a new game mode named payload race, which uses two carts in each map instead of only one like traditional payload maps
Added new arena map Sawmill Added new arena map Nucleus Added new community payload map Hoodoo

Now this is an impressive update, however I'm a bit worried about the following: Added new revolver replacement, The Ambassador. First shot is very accurate and will cause a critical hit if it hits an enemy's head. Accuracy is poor for a period after that Added new watch replacement, the Dead Ringer. When armed, you will appear in all ways to die to the first damage you take from an enemy. You'll be cloaked for 8 second after taking this damage. Upon de-cloaking you'll make a loud, distinct sound The ambassador sounds overpowered, a good spy should kill any class now one on one except maybe heavies and the dead ringer's distinct sound seems like a weird decision. Not sure if I can go to bed now, update the servers quick I need to play

Unbelievable! 0_o And please, please don't start about anything being overpowered before we actually get to test it - if anything is wrong I'm sure it will be fixed in the coming weeks but testing needs time. As to the Spy changes (some of them at least) I actually wonder why they hadn't been implemented for such a long time... Most important change for me: Quote: * You now find new and old items as you play, instead of through achievements
FINALLY THEY LISTENED!Another thing - all the new class hats (from the Steam Forums): Scout: http://img42.imageshack.us/img42/692...elmetlarge.png Soldier: http://img34.imageshack.us/img34/839...erhatlarge.png Pyro: http://img35.imageshack.us/img35/1387/pyrohatlarge.png Demoman: http://img41.imageshack.us/img41/8757/demoafrolarge.png Heavy: http://img40.imageshack.us/img40/483...elmetlarge.png Engineer: http://img38.imageshack.us/img38/778...nghatlarge.png Medic: http://img39.imageshack.us/img39/614...elmetlarge.png Sniper: http://img32.imageshack.us/img32/2224/toothhatlarge.png Spy: http://img33.imageshack.us/img33/5484/spyhatlarge.png |

Yeah - lots of ways to extinguish people now. =) Anyways - I think it's time to go to sleep as the Steam Network TOTALLY crashed with perhaps one region in the world not having problems as evidenced by the massive user count drop: http://store.steampowered.com/stats/ |

Sooo you have to randomly find for example Ambasador to use it ? If you for example can collect new weapons in few hours its ok, it means less people doing stupid things for achievements and new weapons, I read, that you can have full backpack of the same weapon, which means youll have to delete them all the time. All new hats  OMG pyros can light huntsman arrows before sniper shoot and make them flares ( req for achievement actually )

so the spy doesn't get a new melee weapon.. thats a bit lame |

| Author: | [SpA]Minimoose! [ 22 May 2009, 09:47 ] |
| Post subject: | Re: The spy update |
Its stupid that you can get weapons you already have, so you have to get 6 items out of 15 or w/e it is, you could start off with getting 6 ones you already have :/ lol, what would the melee weapon be? It would change the spy from being a spy to something else, kind of like what they did to the sniper actually, they made him a red indian. |

| Post subject: | Re: The spy update |
first impressions on the new update: double payload is manic and brilliant the new unlock system, while getting rid of achievement farmers and such, does feel a bit... rubbish. it's a bit too random and I'm unlocking things I've already got (KGB again) the huntsman is lethal - both literally, and in the way that it's completely shitting terrifying jars of piss can be used for snipers to put extinguish themselved! heehee |
