Sawmill looks like an adaptation of a user-map....

I wonder if they got it from that and built off of it... ?

[dragonash]

That looks uber cool. Sit in a corner until someone shows up. Perfect for the perfect sniper posistions. ;)

[Ninjahedge]

That actually makes more sense, but I also liked the spy that woked by only draining when moving and not draining when sitting still.

The only problem with a true stealth thing is that there really are no shadows in TF2, so you can't do a "Thief" kind of stealth system.

I am not sure I 100% like the fact that a spy can stay invisi-camped in your base indefinitely, but it may make it more worth while to keep trying to get behind the lines and camp a bit......

Hey guy long time no see
Also Meet the Spy has been leaked to the internets and you can watch it on you tube. I highly recommend it. it is easily the best of all of them.

[dragonash]

thats awesome!
I started playing TF2 over the weekend again and noticed the spy got buffed a bit in general.

Non reg's are still there, but the backstab is instantaneous! They also brought back the side stab. And finally a cool update! Sweet!

These are also suggestions that have been around for months....seems valve finally listened

edit:

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAH
"No! ... Zat vould be your motha!"

So we got 2 new things so far...but both are about cloaking. Are we going to get the ability to slide our sapper like in the movie? How about a crit gun? The magnum in the movie was a one shot kill. I'm guessing the cloak and dagger watch doesnt let you cloak on your own. You need to get behind enemy lines camo'ed

btw... since when did they make the spy so badass? He's a freekin ninja in that movie!


edit 2:

BTW, I noticed spy's were holding different weapons while they were disguised and that there is a little indicator telling who what you are disguised as and what weapon you have. Is there a way to switch weapons now?

[Ninjahedge]

Yes, you can switch, but I forgot how (alt fire on disguise? Hit the number several times?)

Also, although insta-stab is good, getting toe-stabbed is not fun!!!!

I love the video.

DA! Just because it was on YouTube doesn't make it real. :p

[dragonash]

Slayer -

are you nuts? What you are saying is equivalent to saying "everything you see on the internet is a lie"

You know its true!!! The intrawebs dont lie!

[Mr Feline]

You press the last disguise button when you switch weps.

[Mr Feline]

Day 5 is now out
Meet the spy is on there with a few amusing notes from Valve. As well as the achievement icons and names (no descriptions yet). Plus an extra achievement from valve!

The update is out and this weekend is a free play weekend!!

edit - Lol! Just tried to fire it up and got a 'The Steam servers are to busy to process your request. Please try again later' message. First time I've had one of them.

[dragonash]

DUDE!!!!!!

We have A LOT of major spy updates including this one

Spies can now use enemy teleporters

oooooh!!!! lol


edit:
achivements do not unlock weapons now. Much like in RPG's, they are random drops! (all weapons are)

[Ninjahedge]

I would like both, actually.....


Make it easier o get all the specials by playing, but get maybe something special (that does not effect gameplay) from the achievements.

Something like Black Boxing Gloves......

[Mr Feline]

Achievement unlocks are back now.
