The new domination sounds. I feel the spy has lost a sense of professionalism that I liked about him with these:


Watch this video on Youtube.

The sniper sounds calmer, but a bit odd:


Watch this video on Youtube.


There are a few good ones for both, but I think I found the Scout's more amusing.



I'll let someone who likes playing Sniper pick out the ones they think are the best for him.

AH yes.

GLITCHES!!!

The Spy can kill with his taunt kill (2 slashes and then a Stab which insta kills) without becoming undisguised. It just looks like you aren't moving.

The Huntsman Taunt is stabbing someone with an arrow.

Spies do "Get ready to strike" now. Razorback is painfully obvious to the enemy, and if the Ambassador has been discovered, an easy target for a HS.

I've recovered 3! Sandviches and an Axtinguisher, weapons I already had unlocked. I would of thought Valve MIGHT of changed it a little so you can only find the ones you don't have (at a rediced chance). Old weapons get discovered too, but none of us (McWill, Red and I) have had any luck.

I believe Schlurbi has the huntsman, and Wynney the Razorback

EDIT: I do not believe there is any correlation to what class you are playing and what you unlock. However, there might be a little bit of play in the formula that increases the chance of you getting a weapon form the class you are playing as. I was heavy for all but one Sandvich

I'm glad this update hasn't led to a spamming of snipers and spies - ok, there's a few more than normal on the server but the classes are still being played. I had a really enjoyable time earlier.

+2 full servers . and a friend request :s

The spy can taunt kill while cloaked, but it removes his disguise. It also makes you painfully obvious.

Schlurbi does have the Huntsman.

The "Burn Notice" achievement for the spy is bugged, I got it after switching to scout and playing a round. I did not meet the conditions, either.

No weapons for me.

Domination sounds:
The spy is too stupid, it really doesn't fit his character.
The sniper sounds so badass now xD

As for the hats, I love them all except the demoman.
The pyro one is ROFL-worthy xD

It is broken:

Spy ones are lame tbh So mean to the heavy xD

Wow, some of them are getting VERY rude Spesh some of the snipers

I have to agree here, they could have been much better. He kind of loses his style and smoothness. It is not how I imagine him to be.

Spy has lost his sense of calmness and style in his new voice clips.
Sniper is the same as usual- calling people women and talking about taking out their organs with a lot of "bloody" and "wanker" thrown into the mix. He is now the only character to shout "B*st*rd" in the game.

worth a quick read
confirms the item trading i mentiond
the damn unlock system is fecked but being worked on

lso maybe worth noting i have the razor back. First unlock i have ever had on this game .

Also fecking usless as a spy who stabs you whilst it's on your back shouldn't be playing spy, i swear they can see it.

Oh they can see it.

If they have the Ambassador (The new MEGA broken Spy Pistol) they just shoot you in the head anyway

The Ambassador is balanced.
It recoils like a deagle unless you allow time to cool down. It headshots at around 45 damage, not a full blown crit. Standard shots do -15% damage of a Revolver. If a Spy wishes to kill the Sniper, he had best be able to have SKILL to hit the head 3 times in a row to take the Sniper down. With the recoil and cooldown, it is more than enough time for the Sniper to turn and shoot the Spy dead.
In terms of killing Snipers, the Revolver is far more effective/easier than the Ambassador.
Either that or the Spy can simply stab you in the front 3 times to kill you.

The ambassador was broken, but has been fixed in the latest update.

Along with various other fixes:

I call that underpowered. 45 to the head? Is that supposed to be a joke?

Watch this video on Youtube.
enough said tbh

I think that video explains it all really

@Kyhas - The idea of the razorback is it's a deterrant. The spy can't insta kill you with it on, so you can turn round and attack him if he shoots, and maybe a sentry/teammate could get him.

The ambassador is powerful, but not too powerful, it does less damage and fires slower, it just allows you to crit.

I don't know, they should hear/see something really.

When you people start nailing other people in the head THEN I'll consider it overpowered. The fact is, that guy had VERY good aim, and the blue team was a bit silly, they didnt target the medic any as far as it seemed.

I stand by 45 in the head not being much, take it in alone, it wont kill the opposing team like he did, it's a combination of factors.

Notice in that video of the ambassador how the person wielding it had decent aim, had a dedicated medic (highly unusual for a spy), and appeared to be against a team that was useless (where were the air blasts? Where the stickies? Hell, where were other spies trying to deal with the medic and assault-spy?

Assault Spy.... Assault Medic.... unusual but in the right hands deadly.
People should stop complaining about the game and just play it or don't. It's a game, not a huge issue. This is almost the same arguement against the AWP. Some think it's overpowered, many contradict. Both take skill to use effectively and rely on a lot of circumstances. If you don't like it, don't play. Simple.
Watch frag movies. They kill loads of people with their weapons. Are they overpowered? No. They are good with the class. Nothing is overpowered. It all relies on the user having skill with the class.

Major difference being, it's even less powerful than the AWP. People are only moaning because they need something to moan about.
