Who knows, all I know the more and more I think about it, the razorback is actually good. Think about it. You're playing 2fort. You're a sniper and you hang back on the balcony. What's probably gonna kill you?

1 another sniper
2 a spy

So if you have the razorback you'll never have to worry unless the spies work together. And what's the downside? It'll take 3 more seconds to walk there. Razorback is good in my book.

Quick comment about Meet the Spy, I just watched it, I've been a bad fan this update.

I am a seasoned scout, hes my favorite class and I think he is no longer a scout with his new "Melee" weapon, which features a ranged attack.

Anyway, I was knew exactly the end point of the Meet The Spy, Valve gave it away early on.

Any real scout knows, sandman users are never real scouts.

If you can say something like that, then the game HAS to be brilliant.

I'm liking these new updates. I gotta say, I didn't care for the scout ones. I don't have the Bonk energy drink unlocked, so I'm not sure how effective that is, but the new shotgun seems like a bad alternative to the original, as does the new bat. Not being able to double jump just doesn't feel right.

Oh well though, I mainly play Spy and Engineer. And with this new update it seems like I'm really going to be hooked as a Spy even more.

I think right now the Soldier really needs to be updated, I'm surprised they haven't got to him yet. They started updating the least played classes first, and I swear the Soldier is the top 3 least played classes.

I've been refurbished and reissued, prepackaged and precooked, decontaminated and deloused, but I still smell, sound, look and feel like shit.

Bonk is only useful to drag sentry fire to you while teammates take it down, and also to get past *some* choke points.
Also the second scattergun was actually inspired by a thread I have created. And I use it, it can be quite useful sometimes, in fact it's only less effective against scouts.

Haha Valve.

Dare I say that that was the most effective April Fool's joke ever? (Or at least in my experience of them.)

It's a good escape weapon, I'll give it that, but if you're trying to kill the opponent it's much easier with the original gun. As for the new bat, I dislike it completely except for stunning invulnerable heavies, which isn't good enough to replace if you ask me.

Screw that, Pyros need another update. Our burning powers aren't as efficient as they used to be. With all these sandmen and super pistols, its hard for a Pyro to make that dolla.

Actually with 2 meatshots you can kill almost every class.

Just run at melee range of someone, shoot, as he is pushed back in the air follow him then shoot again. BAM, he's dead.

Exept if he's a heavy or a soldier. (and maybe pyros and demomen I can't tell)

Any Pyro that doesn't use the compression blast is an embarassment.

To be honest I thought they could've done allot more with the Sniper update, I really am not a fan of Jarate or the Bow and Arrow.

Well, yeah, the idea of throwing bottles of piss at your enemies (and friends) is a little absurd, but I think it goes along nicely with the style of the game.

Also, I love how Valve explains why it causes enemies to take more damage; they won't want to live after they've had your urine splashed all over them

So, anybody wanna go to some achievement servers and spam fire when it's out?

In the beginning the Universe was created. This has made a lot of people very angry and has been widely regarded as a bad move.

I believe the statement meant they were wanting to decouple achievements with unlockables. The problem is that people spam servers, hunting down achievements. The new costume gear is set to change that, as you don't need to unlock achievements.

This is a Prime piece of real estate below.
