The revolver is one of the most accurate weapons in the game aside from the sniper rifle o.O

Probably tomorrow with the snipers melee unlock.

Hope so. It's going to be annoying when both the updates come out. I don't know whether to play sniper, which is a class I enjoy, or play pyro to annoy the spies who will all be gunning for me if I snipe :p

Pyros may render the dead ringer spy watch useless. After puffing the uncloaked spy, all she (:p) has to do is run around flaming everything around the "corpse" to uncover the fleeing spy.

Which is why I'm gonna enjoy this update. Well, I dig the new Payload Race more than anything.

Are you kidding me? It's as accurate as the sniper, even at long range. That's much better than the revolver.

Perhaps it is. But honestly, if i want to play sniper i'll uh... well... play sniper. As picking things off from a mile away is his job after all, not the spy's. This weapon, to me, just seems like they're trying to make the spy a class it's not.

It's an unlockable. And that's a bad way of looking at it. You get a weapon that you can use on the enemy at a distance, all the while cloaking or disguising yourself as the enemy. I think it's going to change the way people play Spies (well, not too much).

Spy + New Revolver + Sapped Engie thing + Cloaked/disguisedness + range + POW! = one dead engie.

At least, thats the way I look at from an engineer's stand point and a guy whose trying to learn how to play the spy.

I knew it! I knew they were going to use the Jarate as an unlockable. Anyway, I was hoping Valve would offer something better to replace the sniper rifle. The Huntsman seems cool and all, but I don't think it's worth replacing my sniper rifle. So far we've seen the Huntsman, the Razorback, and Jarate for the Sniper. We've also seen the "Dead Ringer" watch, the "Cloak and Dagger" watch, and the Ambassador for the Spy. The Spy's unlockables are cool but the Sniper could use a better replacement for the sniper rifle. I guess I'll end up using the Sniper unlockables, minus the Huntsman. I prefer to kill my enemies with bullets, not arrows. :p

    • Anyway to download these versions without being on the Experimental builds?
    • Nothing is stopping you from continuing with your testing cadence. If updates are released every 2 weeks instead of 4, and you test once every 4 weeks, the exact same amount of patches will still be available for you in those 4 weeks. For example: Before 4th week - patch 1, 2, 3, 4 After 2nd week - patch 1 and 2 4th week - patch 3 and 4 Still the same amount after 4.
    • Everyone else has said it. I'm gonna say it - you don't know what you're talking about. I do. I have two laptops. One work, one personal. I have access to two more laptops - both personal. At home I manually update my personal laptop when I see on Neowin that there is an update - I carry on and only apply the updates when I am ready. My work one only updates when my workplace decides to send it - I carry on and only apply the updates (when they actually arrive, which is usually days after the release) when I switch off the laptop at the end of the day as usual. The two other personal laptops only get updated when I get to it which is rarely - the people who own them carry on using them until I get to it and update them. All of the browsers on all laptops are configured to restore the tabs when launched. Google and Microsoft have changed from 6 weeks to 4, and it looks like it's going to move to 2. None of these changes affect how any of these browsers on the laptops are used. Not one jot. My advice to you is stop panicking whenever you see an update. Just carry on with what you're doing. This even benefits you in a way - from your comment you sound like you don't like the changes or the frivolous new features - great - then carry on as before!

    • Server Summit had a heap of announcements, ADCS changes are baller.
