Achievements are out... well just the names. The video is now officialy available

But the best thing by far
UNLOCKED - Welcome to the internets: Fail to understand what 'Private' means on YouTube.

Yup, massive IRC spam

As in the other thread I linked up there, one of the announcer screens in the bottom left says "LEAKED VIDEO". There are some other funny ones aswell.

Lots of Bond references in the achievements, should have seen that coming

I have a hunch - New pistol will be called "The Ambassador".

I already believe this, having read this earlier:

http://www.facepunch.com/showthread.php?t=741478

I'm going for a critical-hit head-shot pistol with vastly reduced damage for all other hits.

The Skullpluggery achievement could be related to this.

EDIT: Does not make sense with the name of the gun or the Diplomacy achievement however. I suspect there is more to this.

Damn, rumbled

However, I doubt there will be a headshotting pistol, it doesn't fit.

Looks like there is

You were also correct on the name.

Indeed. The Ambassador. A pistol that rewards good aim.

Long range high damage one hit kill pwn machine that needs skill?

Shoulda just called it the deagle, also does the cigarette look weird to anyone else?

Nope, the blue one has always looked like that.

Seems it's highly accurate and powerful, but doesn't fire very fast. Doesn't mention headshots specifically, though, only the off the cuff comment.

It also looks awesome.

Wait... It's in his left hand

EDIT:

Someone on the SPUF calculated the calibre at .88ish. That's about the size of your thumb. Desert Eagle is .50. This is a .60, a custom made handgun (presumably for show) firing bullets designed to knock elephants down.

That's insane.

Yes, I am aware TF2 isn't that realistic, but even then, some of the sizes are grounded in reality.

Please note, all the above could also be BS. Also note that this is the size calculated form the muzzle, and the bullets look a bit smaller.

I highly doubt that is even close to realistic... a .88 Calibre pistol... Not even a crazy stonrg person would be able to hold onto that Thats more the size of a ShotGun shell than a Pistol Bullet.




Looks very similar to me, this is a .357 calibre Pistol.

According to the a weight conversion site I found, this gun weights around 3.6 kilograms. Is that a lot for a hand-held pistol?

It's about 3.6x heavier than a 1kg bag of sugar. That is quite heavy.

A desert Eagle weighs less than 2kg.

Also 8lb in kg.

You'd need ridiculously strong arms to even lift 3.6 KGs is a lot for a pistol... Not even some rifles way that much

and

"BLUE SNIPER!
DROWNED
AGAIN"

xD

I'm thinking the spy may have to hold the embassador with both hands whilst aiming and not be as mobile. Although they haven't mentioned anything of the like so we can only wait to see.

I'm undecided as to whether Jarate is a realitly or not. Got a few intresting points but can't go into detail as I'm a bit busy

• Jarate features on the letter emailed back from the scout coupon alongside other real items
• Valve are sneaky gits, they could have purposely released it on April fools for a double bluff
• Looking at the spy drenched in piss from the Jarate image, it seems that the model itself has been made to look covered in the wet yellow stuff not just added artwork. You can tell the yellow drips coming from his hands are artwork, but apart from that it actually looks legit.
• There is already a model for Jarate, as we have seen it feature in two meet the team videos.

*cough* Spy *cough*

Watch this video on Youtube.

.... Skillers already linked to this video

I just think the Ambassador is going to mak the Razorback null and void tbh... Why risk a Stab (if you can't see a Razorback, which is unlikely) when You can just shoo the Sniper in the head at point blank?

I don't think the Ambassador will be able to 1HKO any class without crits, which won't be headshot based.

As for jarate, I really don't think they will, it's just too silly.

You never know... they haven't told us what the sniper's 3rd weapon is yet... and it's out tomorrow isn't it?

I would say another Spy weapon + hats today, Sniper weapon + acheive tomorrow, just before release.

So... wheres the update? /me cries
