Hell yes, the sniper looks like a total badass. Not looking forward to Aus getting this weapon.

EDIT: FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKk

We're getting the spy update too! OOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMGGGGGGGGG

[Divine Fate]

I am looking forward to over half a read team of snipers, time to break out the spy.

[MrKerplunkers]

I'm assuming we are locking the server for this, right?

[RandomGuy]

right?

I find this ironic because the new weapon is a shield to protect the back

[g_e_oos]

Every one thinks this is the spy update now guys. I know what you're thinking. Thats what they always say. well this time they have proof...


http://forums.steampowered.com/forums/s ... p?t=860180

they took it off the page now apparently.

and further proof.

look carefully at kotaku's screen shot.

[g_e_oos]

Then again Valve could be playing a joke on everyone who always says it's going to be the spy update.

[Sastora]

I don't see anything.

[Sastora]

Ohh!!
Just kidding.

[Divine Fate]

They always say it's the spy update. We'll just have to wait and see.

EDIT: Was it really there before? I've seen people doing image edits on the scout update saying it's the spy update.

[g_e_oos]

Kotaku wouldn't edit theirs and there is hundreds of people on the steam forums that swear they saw it. Guess we'll find out eh?

It is on their official page in the lineup after day3.

Looks pretty cool, glad they are upgrading thos classes together. The spy stuff looks cool. The infinite cloak could be pretty wicked, but the fake body thing is sweet too.

[Wamp Rats]

I really don't see anything

Day 6 is up

I already knew it was the ambassador. the thing they mailed people back from sending force-a-nature clipouts said it.

[MrKerplunkers]

Damn, that gun looks like it came in straight from Devil May Cry... I am gonna love that thing.

[arkawn]

this is gonna end with the sniper respawning and killing the spy with new melee weapon from behind

OR SNIPER GETS COAK!!!!!!11!11!!11!one!eleven!!!2!!!!11!!1!

[Divine Fate]

Watch it be like this: the line of snipers sniping each other, then there's spies sniping right next to them, and they're actually being more effective than the snipers.

[RandomGuy]

HOLY SHIT.

I am not opposed to this. but im not giving up my kurki for this. my teamates can burn in hell for all i care.

[Divine Fate]

It might end up replacing the SMG, still not sure. But whatever item DOES replace the SMG, I'm using it. Kukri is too valuable to replace with a one-time-use shield or a jar of pee.

[KEKEKE]

The new items are all for fun. I see no improvement out of either of them. The bow and arrow looks hilarious, and the idea of using Duke's nutsack as a pin cushion amuses me to no end, but unless it's going to have range and crit headshots it's pretty worthless. Don't get me wrong, I am going to use it and go all Daniel Day Lewis on your asses, but when the initial silliness wears off, or if you kill me, I am going to get my rifle, and I am going to put you back in your place.
The razorback? Neat idea. Free kill for standing still? I'm ok with that. Problem is it will slow you down which means your ass is so so so dead in a sniper duel. It'll be like shooting a scout coming down off Bonk, only easier. Plus you have to get rid of your kukri? Demomen don't backstab. Have fun trying to noscope him as he blows you up.
Jarate on the other hand looks like it might have a use. Not a huge one, but compared to the SMG it's an effing god send. 35% improved damage? I'm cool with that. The ol' one-two with the jarate kukri seems pretty effective. Putting out allies on fire is neat. The problem is that effing ambassador. You throw pee on the spy, he uncloaks, he shoots you with a cannon. The revolver is already deadly. Buff it? I bet you a dollar that the Ambassador is nerfed to hell within the first week. It is basically a more powerful, faster firing no scope. Which is absolutely stupid.

[arkawn]

I got a feeling the Ambassador fires a lot slower than you guys think

[Toastyking]

Bah people hate jarate not because of it's use its a helpful team weapon help damage important targets and put out teammates (mind ye im no sniper and if i had jarate and saw my teammate on fire id just taunt) people are complainin THAT ITS A FUCKING JAR A PISS tis bullshit that they all loved the april fools joke AND asked to get it for a weapon but then they complain its immature THAT ITS A 3D JAR OF UNIDENTIFIED YELLOW LIQUID FUCK ALL they never even said it was piss (mind you twas easy as fuck to see) but come off it people and i realize at this point this post is a small wall of text with 50 plus grammar errors but come on all of fucks PISS

*Edit ambassador prolly shoots slower than sniper bullets considering its power and accuracy

[RandomGuy]

the ambassador had a cooldown peroid where you can't fire

dhoy! read guys it helps.

Everybody knows that. We're wondering if it's going to be as long as the sniper rifle's, shorter, or longer.

So does the sniper rifle, and the pistol, and the scatter gun, and the shotgun, and the revolver, and rocket launcher, and every other semi automatic gun in the game.

The question is, how powerful is it, what is the rate of fire. The sniper rifle is the most powerful gun in the game but takes 3+ seconds to charge plus a second to "cock". That's pretty much a 4+ second "cool down" to full power. The question is, seeing as it's going to be a sniper rifle without a scope, is it going to be more powerful than an unscoped sniper rifle? Is it going to have a faster rate of fire? Are spy's going to strafe around sniping people from across the map?

[Not The Author]

I'm guessing everyone's overhyping it as they did with "Force-A-Nature has a long reload!"

It's not really long, just longer.
A relatively slow firing speed, considerably slower that the standard Revolver, but not so rediculous as to render it unusable.

I'd guess about 1.5 Rocket Shell reloads.
(That's measured in individual shells, not a whole clip.)

I Love the Sniper Outfit.
