Yay! Time to dust off TF2, and play a bit !

Spies can now control which weapon the enemy team sees them holding. Hitting the "last disguise" key while disguised updates the disguise to show the Spy's currently held weapon

This sucks... Now it's alot easier for the spy.

Spies disguised as enemy team can now see player IDs for enemies

Makes it easier, but also kinda fun because if a Spy is right in front of me wearing my name, he's going to run.

Fixed a bug where players would sometimes gib from non-gib damage kills

Awww.. That was so fun.

I'm more happy about the updates to the spy, than the ones to the scout.

I think it's gonna get alot easier for spies, or it will make people more carefull. It's definately going to take a while to adapt and learn how to avoid spies.

Spies is a hard class, also a bugged class (see failstabs).

Spies are ninjas, not spies, they should make spies able to fake shoots.

[Mess]

at least the stab anims have been fixed... don't know if they've changed the actual bugged hitbox code though.

Which is good. Even someone like me who is pretty good with spy couldn't get kills too easily because of the retarded detection system they had before. Not it takes some REAL observations to tell if someone is actually a spy.

The best way to keep spies at bay is to always have a Pyro at hand to spy check engineer buildings, or medic groups.

It's unfortunate for me, though, for I cannot experience the Scout update until this weekend. Hopefully this weekend I can get all the upgrades. I especially want the Sandman and Bonk.

Anyone else seeing somethign wrong with the "Race for the Pennant" achievement? It says you have to run for 25 kilometres, but the stats show the number as x/25000, (where x is the distance you have ran). I know that 25 kilometres = 25000 metres, (the figure given), but a metre is such a small distance which a scout could run in less than a second, yet my stats so far only show 1/25000. I think we actually have to run 25000 kilometres, (the scout's socks will be stinking after all that running).

[TicTac]

Yea, I noticed that too
I was like "Pfft. Easy achievement!" until i noticed that it was counting each Kilometre as a metre!!
Valve, I know this is America but come on!!

I've also noticed that the Force_a_Nature doesn't seem to reload more slowly, like it's said it would do in the update.

If it reloaded any slower, it would suck even more.

Not a fan personally.
