OH GOD, SPY UPDATE

MY FAVE (yet also most frustrating) CLASS.

So what, is that pocket watch like a feign death thing? Who's going to fall for that?

By the way, at first I kinda though that Razorback was lame. But it's quite easy shooting a sniper with a revolver if shoot him right after he's made a shot (he can't shoot back for a second).

Cloak and Dagger watch looks AWESOME by the way, I've actually thought of that myself some time ago. "Why not make the cloak recharge while standing still?". Very happy with that one. The weakest class could use some love.

Edit 2:

Alright, just realized that the "dead Spy body" in the background of the Sniper update was actually a fake corpse. Well played. So will the Sniper update happen later or is it a double update?

No idea. Even though the unlocks seem interesting I'm not sure whether I'll be using them as I think spy is pretty good as it is at the moment; I would hardly call him the weakest class
One thing they could do though is remove the 50 or 75%-99% health indicator as that's a dead giveaway to spies, at least when I see them.

 

[Nimsky]

I think it's a double update. Or else they wouldn't have shown both Spy and Sniper unlocks. This is a huge update.

 

[Mahnsikir]

I think it'll be a double update since the sniper stuff is still there, but who knows.

And for once the conspiracy crazies were right.

Is that a pshop?

 

[DraKon2k]

How do you actually unlock items/weapons?

 

[AXEL]

Unlock a certain amount of achievements for that class

 

[DraKon2k]

Unlock a certain amount of achievements for that class

Certain amount = ?

 

[SiC-Disaster]

Like, 12 achievements, then 19 achievements and so on.
Each class so far has 3 unlocks, and each unlock requires a certain amount of achievements to be done.
The order of unlocks is locked though, so you cant choose your own unlock.

Just to be clear to anyone else who read this wrong, each class that has been given unlockables thus far has 3 new items, a few classes still don't have new features yet.

Meet the spy trailer. A really long one too I loved it.[/URL]

 

[The Masta]

Best one so far I say.

 

[Nimsky]

Indeed. It's bloody fantastic.

The Sniper has a different hat in this video. I suppose that has something to do with the "hat feature" that's coming.

 

[Mahnsikir]

Good spot Nimsky, I didnt even notice.

Best 'Meet The' video yet.

Anyone else notice the scout/spy weilding the sandman? Looks like we may be getting the spy ability to show unlocks rather than just the default weapons. Or have they put that in already and I missed the update?

 

[DraKon2k]

Lol somehow reading this thread made me totally go back to TF2, got ma 1st heavy item already can't wait for this update. Tuesday right?

 

[Mahnsikir]

Yup it should be Tuesday.

Oh and prepair to get annoyed with the medic unlocks, they require the most achievments to unlock and are arguably the most annoying to achieve, took me ages to get the saw (3rd) unlock.

 

[DraKon2k]

Do you guys know whether you have to use fists or boxer gloves to get the heavy-achievement (forgot the name) where you need to get a critical hit or sth.?

 

[Mahnsikir]

Either will do if i remember correctly, though using the KGB would be easier as you get 100% crit after the first hit.
