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

    • Hello, Christian Maas' XVI32 is a nice (and very small) hex editor. Speaking of hex editors, many years ago a colleague and I who both worked at Tribal Voice managed to edit a copy of the company's PowWow instant messaging client to make it behave better now that all of its lookup servers and other server-side tech was gone.  The program didn't support NAT (RFC-3022 was introduced in January 2001, the same time Tribal Voice was shuttered), but it still worked okay if you manually set up port-forwarding on your router.  The server at http://powwow.jazy.net/ hosts a copy (usual warnings about downloading and running untrusted code from random internet servers apply). I occasionally use some tools like Funduc Software's Search and Replace and Application Mover when I need to make mass-edits to text-based files or move programs with a hard-coded installation directories, respectively.  When I need to figure out the exact LCD panel inside of a laptop, EnTech Taiwan's Monitor Asset Manager is my go-to tool for that purpose. JD Design's website (now hosted on github.io) has a number of interesting freeware and shareware utilities.  I used to use their TouchPro utility to set the file timestamps on software I was mastering to match its version number (e.g., version 3.00 of a program had all of its files dates set to 3:00AM, and so forth). Karenware has a number of interesting freeware utilities, too. Regards, Aryeh Goretsky  
    • I still use HexChat! Not really as ancient as the 1994 AutoCAD above my post, but I have never found anything better to replace it. Yes we still operate an IRC server https://www.neowin.net/irc/ 😛 
    • At work we still have a couple of people that use a version of AutoCAD LT purchased in 1994. This predates Windows 95 and works fine on versions of Windows up to XP. Its long since run in an locked down isolated XP VM, accessible via RDP. I did install LibreCAD for them, however they said it was just too different to get to grips with. In all fairness one of them is now 75 and the other is almost 60.
