Being cloaked also doesn't put fire out, I know when I'm a pyro I shoot flares at everybody far away, and use my flamethrower on anybody close.

So, if a sniper hits a spy with an arrow, it shouldn't be hidden just to make it easier for the spy to score kills.

True, but spies are the hard counter to snipers, pyros are the hard counter to spies. It would give the snipers a huge advantage over spies that they don't currently have.

I'd say Monday, or possibly earlier.

When they're doing the reveal, it's only a few days away (and they said as much)

They still have 2 weapons to reveal (accounting for today and tomorrow) and I am betting they will use one of the days to announce the "content for all classes"....they stated if it wasnt finished before the sniper update than it would come along with the sniper update. And who knows, maybe a "Meet The ...." will appear on another one of the days.

The heavy had 6 revealed updates by the time it was released. The scout had 5 revealed updates with the 6th being release day (supposedly suppose to have been that map we saw on the Bonk! page). If they follow that, then the sniper will have 6 updates (1 for each weapon unlock with achievements thrown into one of them, the new maps, the content for all classes, a new Meet the Team video), chances are it will be out on Tuesday of next week, giving it the same reveal to release period as the scout update. (but they could always change this)

What is the whole hats thing about? Is that the content for all classes?

Awhile back they added a "Hat" slot to the unlock screen, it has since been confirmed hats will do nothing more but be a cosmetic change for your character. Considering all characters have the hat slot it is assumed (if its been confirmed I haven't seen it, so if it has please point it out) that hats are the content for all classes they were referring to.

I must say thats actually a very nice sidegrade to the SMG (assuming thats what its replacing). You get protection from 1 backstab (per life) for a tradeoff of reduced speed (snipers shouldnt be running around much anyway), and the loss of your mid-range weapon. Then again this could also replace the melee so it would be at the loss of your melee weapon instead.

And yes, it will **** off bad spies, but good/smart spies will just pull out their revolver and shoot the sniper at a bit of distance, possibly before they have time to even react.

It'll replace the SMG in my opinion due to two reasons:

Firstly, the Razorback's design is thus that the spy in question will have to be in close range to have landed the stab, at which point any good sniper would whip out his kukri to kill the spy. Seeing as most "pro" snipers tend to have Spy-ESP (+wallhug) anyway it wouldn't really make sense for it to replace the kukri, which would cripple the sniper at that vital range.

Secondly, all the melee replacement unlocks so far have also been melee weapons. Whereas the secondary unlocks have been items like the Sandvich and Bonk. It only seems logical for the Razorback to continue this tradition.

One thing that has gotten me curious is the background of the Day 3 page. We can see the PR gamemode's coloured innertrack and the overall theme seems like that of Pipeline, but the point has B above it. (Compare the scene to that of Day 2, you can see the ? holograms) So it brings me to the question, is Pipeline multistage like Goldrush?

So i don't know if anyone has noticed but it looks like the update has a date now. Next tuesday is when we can expect it. Hopefully the final 3 days of unveilings bring something good with them.

While I'll tend to agree with the Tuesday date, Valve still haven't confirmed it either way. Unless I'm missing some sort of covert announcement.

Additionally if the date is the 19th then that leaves only 2 days of updates (Monday and release day for a meet the team video maybe), since there are no updates on the weekend.

They don't really need to make a blog post about it. It says it right over on the right side nav.

As for how many days of stuff to show, i said 3 for if they'd actually give us something on tuesday and not do a lame "release day!" page again.

    • UK to ban under-16s from social media following a six-week trial with teenagers

      By zikalify · Posted

      UK to ban under-16s from social media following a six-week trial with teenagers by Paul Hill Credit: Pexels A few months ago, Neowin reported that the UK was trialing a social media ban with 300 teenagers for six weeks, that testing has come to an end, and Prime Minister Keir Starmer has announced that the country will ban under-16s from social media. Starmer said that this technology is making children unhappy and making it easier for bullies to harass and abuse them. He continued to talk about the addictive nature of social media, saying that it uses an infinite scroll designed to lock users in for hours. He said this interferes with children doing their homework, reading, playing with friends outside, and going to bed on time. Tackling the idea that nothing can be done about social media, Starmer said: The government’s action won’t stop at social media either, the PM said. It plans to take action on gaming services and livestreaming platforms. Right now, he said, strangers can contact any child unchecked. He said this wouldn’t happen in real life, and the government is going to stop it from happening online, too. The Labour government has overseen the introduction of the Online Safety Act, a big change to the internet which includes age verification on adult websites. This has led to a fair bit of backlash, but overall, the government is pushing ahead with these changes.

    • HONOR Robot Phone unveils first Cinematic Video at Shanghai International Film Festival

      By Steven P. · Posted

      HONOR Robot Phone unveils first Cinematic Video at Shanghai International Film Festival by Steven Parker Global AI device ecosystem company HONOR announced on June 13 that its revolutionary HONOR Robot Phone made its professional imaging debut at the 28th Shanghai International Film Festival (SIFF), demonstrating the result of its mobile videography capabilities for the first time. As the official mobile photography and videography partner of the 28th Shanghai International Film Festival, HONOR empowers this premier cinematic event with cutting-edge mobile imaging technology. Marking the global debut of the first cinematic video it captured, Robot Phone breaks down the boundaries between mobile imaging and professional filmmaking, ushering in a new paradigm for the deep integration of technology and cinematic art. In the video published on HONOR’s official channel (above), Robot Phone was used byELLEMEN to capture cinematic video portraits for the SIFF jury members. With its exceptional stability and cinema-grade imaging capabilities, the device redefines the art of portrait filmmaking, faithfully reproducing the rich tonal gradations and nuanced color transitions associated with film photography. The result is a new level of visual sophistication, creating high-end cinematic imagery that seamlessly blends atmosphere with narrative tension. The video released for the Robot Phone showcases the powerful stabilization capabilities of its built-in gimbal system, delivering exceptionally smooth handheld camera movement while preserving full image quality. By minimizing reliance on electronic image stabilization, the device effectively avoids the image cropping and quality loss typically associated with digital stabilization methods. Representing an innovative leap in form factor, the HONOR Robot Phone features the industry's smallest titanium alloy gimbal, delivering ultra-precision, extreme flexibility, and superior stability. Driven by high-performance motors, the gimbal rises dynamically, breaking free from the physical limitations of traditional camera modules. Combined with advanced AI algorithms that enable intelligent object tracking and various movements with stable shots, the device significantly simplifies video creation and reshapes both the equipment choices and creative habits of modern users. Notably, the Robot Phone will be the first product that features the results of HONOR's strategic technological partnership with ARRI, the world-renowned designer and manufacturer of professional camera technology for cinematic storytelling. From Cannes to Shanghai, the HONOR Robot Phone continues to lead the mobile imaging industry into an entirely new stage of development. Moving forward, HONOR will leverage cutting-edge AI and mobile imaging technologies to unlock new creative possibilities and extend cinematic standards for visual expression from the world of high-end filmmaking to the next generation of content creators.

      I'll wait for the root cause analysis. Looks like it's HP, Lenova, and certain configurations that are askew, hardly "all of windows." Time will tell.
