Yes, yes they are. I want my spy Fedora NOW!

Cool thing I told you over steam that it existed.

Also note the achievement where a fedora spy is shown.

The hats :P

In other news, I have unlocked 5 items so far. ALL OF WHICH I ALREADY HAD GODDAMNIT

By the way, did anyone notice that the scar the Spy gave the Sniper on the cheek in Meet the Spy is now on the Sniper's model?

Your latency for most of them is terrible.

Also round of applause for Valve for fixing the achievement grinding problem.

I didn't take the picture, and most of those servers are in Europe/Asia.

This is bullshit.

The worst thing isn't these achievement servers. It's fucking faggots who just spectate in normal gameplay servers and fill them up, so you only get about half of the max capacity of the server playing. At least with the old method people would actually play.

So yeah after several hours of play I unlocked the razorback.
What a shitty unlock.
I would of liked it more if they didn't make the razorback and gave us a replacement for the kukri. The razorback is way too situational and really only has use if your favourite pastime is pitching up a tent and camping for a good week.

Dead Ringer isn't that great. Spy hat wins though. So does Scout without a hat (bald). Valve had better fix the shitty backstab registering to.

Forgot to also mention (if it hasn't been said already) you can light the Huntsmans arrows on fire.

I hate the huntsman, hey valve, let's make every class good at every distance!!!

Yeah, snipers never deserved to have that kind of advantage?

I think originally every class had weaknesses and strong points. Snipers were meant to stay far from the battle and generally work alone. Scouts are meant to flank, weak at long range. That's why the game was so good, it was balanced. Now I feel as if valve is just trying to make every class effective in places they really shouldn't be for some reason.

50 hours and counting

4 Sandmans

Nothing else

good fucking job valve

Every time I see someone with a huntsmen I cry... a lot...

But sanvich is delicious!

I'm one of those guys (you know) who got it for half price today. So far, I got the Cloak N' Dagger, and the Flare-Gun . I'm fine with that.

i got 2 huntsman, 2 razorbacks, 2 cloak and daggers, 1 dead ringer and 1 jarate :D

I haven't received any duplicates yet. GO ME.

It's not that bad. Actually, I think that this, paired with the Huntsman on any decent Sniper is way overpowered. The reason being that many of the offensive classes just have no approach anymore, due to the Huntsman's speed and power. A single bodyshot can take out a Scout, and two can take out a Pyro before he's anywhere near enough to flame. That leaves the Spy, and 90% of spies won't go near a Sniper with a Razorback... which makes it very hard to take one down. >:(

Make that two of us...

I managed to get jarate yesterday (I say 'managed', I mean.. was randomly gifted with), so I was pretty happy. I want the huntsman of course, but throwing urine at people is quite cool. Not so helpful when I have the rifle, but it gets me quite a few assists.

I found the dead ringer

holy shit this is blatantly overpowered

not compared to the cloak and dagger, you can be invisble all the time with that

It's actually not that bad. When first using it, it seems really bad, but the trouble is that you need to get behind enemy lines to use it effectively. Also, you're more vulnerable than ever to Pyros now, since you can't cloak to get behind the lines to use it.

Unless you're VERY good at disguising, and know the alternate routes on maps like the back of your invisible hand, the Dead Ringer is tough to use, but if you can, it's very useful.

It got me total ownage against everyone in the first few days of the update, before people were used to how it works.
