New Update

[StaFForD]

HUNTSMAN IS RIGHT HANDED NOW BITCHES

oh and other favs.

Emerging from the Dead Ringer's cloak now drains up to 40% of the cloak meter instead of 100%. This drain only happens if the meter is at least 60% full
Increased the Cloak and Dagger regeneration rate slightly

[Stu]

Increased the Cloak and Dagger regeneration rate slightly

Thank fucking shit for that.

[Crit Goes Where?!?]

The Dead Ringer's cloak consume rate has been slightly reduced, giving about an extra second of cloak time on a full meter
Emerging from the Dead Ringer's cloak now drains up to 40% of the cloak meter instead of 100%. This drain only happens if the meter is at least 60% full
The Dead Ringer's cloak meter can now be regenerated from ammo sources

HOORAY!

The Spy can no longer change weapons from the knife while shocked by the Razorback

Still not gonna help.

Force-A-Nature & Flamethrower air blast knockback effects no longer work on disguised spies.

WHY?!?

[Kelreth]

The Ambassador now only crits when fully accurate and no longer penetrates enemies

Eh what? Fully accurate so like when you hit the target or only the first shot?

And boo for not being able to shoot through people with a magnum

[Crit Goes Where?!?]

Well I did think it was quite powerful, dunno how strong it is now until i can play again.

[StaFForD]

im thinking first shot/after cooldown = fully accurate

because i was able to crit people even during the cooldown

[Combat Wombat]

Not being able to airblast or knockback spies is stupid. I like playing spy, but I don't believe there shouldn't be counters like that to the disguises...

[LiquidSnake]

ive never seen a pyro spycheck with an airblast

[Dr.BlackDick]

the airblast and FaN no longer pushing disguised spies is because when you are disguised you don't bleed or get pushed by rockets, stickies, or grenades.

[omfgcows]

awwww man, i would always fuck with spies by setting them on fire then when they ran to health air blasting them back...

[Stu]

Awh but the custom death animations are fucking wicked. Seriously, first time i saw one i was like "AWWWWWRIGHT"

[Crit Goes Where?!?]

The custom deaths were great but it took me a while to get used to them.  I would stab a heavy and kill him but keep stabbing thinking the game glitched on me...

And Wudz, I love the Dead Ringer changes.  I love that thing, but the sexy watch did need an upgrade.

[Combat Wombat]

New spy watches = pointless. In my opinion. I have prepared myself for the flaming I'll probably receive for that comment.

[StaFForD]

I agree with you Wombat

the only one that I have use from at times is the cloak and dagger, but i mainly stick to the reg watch

[omfgcows]

roommate uses the cloak and dagger religiously but i keep telling him hed do better if he used the normal one
also i can now juggle spies again
new update just now

[StaFForD]

lol at todays update

people bitch a lot and get what they want

[Crit Goes Where?!?]

I like dead ringer because it makes me play spy differently.  I like such a challenge.

The Ambassador no longer penetrates buildings
Removed the movement speed penalty on The Razorback

It really seems like they don't want people to use the Ambassador, but do use the razorback.  I find this backwards.

[Kelreth]

I like the Cloak and Dagger, it fits more of how I like to play spy for me. So what if it takes longer for me to get somewhere, shits going to die

[omfgcows]

i hate the razorback buff and dont mind the ambassador nerf but still think its bs

[DickTater]

the only time i used The Ambassador was for snipers with Razorback because they are SLOOWWW motherfuckers

now fuck both of them.. ill just beat the shit outa them with a regular Revolver
