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

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

      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.
