Anyone know exactly when the sniper update goes live?
^_-;
Looking forward to it. I’m just not getting OK with the sniper after all this time.
The best thing about this update is that I will be RUINING the hoard of new snipers with my spy.
I don’t even like the Stun Bat that much, losing double jump isn’t worth it. Scout - Double Jump = Fail.
imo.
Once the update drops, I will be on the SRK server helping with achievements.
cant wait to backstab whole sniper teams…mwahahaha
a kritzkrieg’d soldier is scary as fuck
The Force can kinda be used to make up for the lose of double jump. I am pretty sure valve designed it that way. I use the Force on 2Fort, but there are other maps when regular double jump is simply better.
I play mainly Scout all day and I can tell you that having a triple jump is extremely useful. My lineup is Force-A-Nature, Bonk, and Aluminum Bat.
I used to stick exclusively with the Scattergun. I thought the larger clip was better and the extra jump was the only perk of he FAN. However, after playing with the FAN, I realized the triple jump was extremely useful and that the damage of the FAN was actually greater than the Scattergun in a DPS vs. DPS situation. Finally, the pushback works extremely well both on harassment against slower classes such as Pyro’s and Heavy’s, and using it to knock enemies like Snipers, Demomen, and Soldiers off ledges for extra fall damage.
Bonk is much more useful than the Pistol. If an enemy is even at the range which Pistol gains effectiveness over the FAN, I don’t even engage them. There’s no point. Bonk helps since I can use it as an escape mechanism, or to distract Sentries for the team.
The Aluminum bat is only a better choice for me because it allows me to triple jump. It also does more damage in melee than the sandman.

Yea, I pretty much agree with everything you said. At one point I thought the Force was a POS because if you misfire you have to wait so much time before you can get another shot off; therefore leaving you vulnerable. But the pushback nature (no pun intended) of it is what the scout desperately needs.
I just love the sandman despite how much cheese it may be. There is nothing more fun to me than stealing an intel, watch some engie try and pistol me to death, turn around and bonk him leaving the poor fool to play with himself. My whole goal when playing scout is to annoy people and the sandman is perfect for that.
gg for shitty spies haha.
LMAO!
I’m sorry…I was laughing my ass off after reading the quote, then clicking the link.
FUCK YOU SPIES!!!
Maybe Spies will learn how to shoot and aim a gun.
On another note, will that replace the Kukri or SMG?
I’ve got to learn how to play TF2 because I’m playing it like COD, etc and it isn’t working out too well.
Damn, the Razorback is an instant “Fuck me.” to any fellow Spy users (including myself). It doesn’t matter if your shitty or not, no spy will even attempt to backstab the Sniper now. :-/
Probably SMG, because the Kukri will get upgraded with some kind of advanced boomerang, watch.
I play spy and use revolver quite frequently
which is probably what I’ll end up doing to snipers now.
but fuck that update floored me as I was expecting to go to town on teams of snipers with little resistance
Peeps are swearing it’s the piss in a jar.
That had to be an april fools joke, though, right?
Remember…the 3rd unlockable hasn’t been announced yet.
I still think the Piss in a jar is April Fools…but Vavle has proved me wrong before.
