Team Fortress 2 Update To Bring Maps, Sniper and Spy Upgrades
Over the past several days, Valve has been releasing details on an update to Team Fortress 2. They first revealed that the Sniper was taking its turn in a series of class upgrades, getting a bow and arrow that's capable of pinning an enemy to a wall. Next, they showed off a pair of new maps — a sawmill arena map that's in the midst of heavy rainfall and a circular map built around a doomsday weapon. Valve also mentioned a new game mode called Payload Race — it's similar to a regular Payload match, but both teams have a cart to push. The next day brought about an electrified shield for the Sniper, and hinted that the Spy would be getting an update as well. The following announcement confirmed it, introducing a device that would allow the Spy to feign death, and another that lets the Spy remain invisible permanently, only draining their power while in motion.
to quote dragon's den "I'm out"
the spy is ridiculously overpowered anyway and with the last spy update allowing them to charge invisibnility from picking up metal they can be almost permanently invisibly anyway.
if you want to make a better game, make teleport entrances invulnerable to spies. on long maps there is nothing more bloody boring than spending 30 seconds running across the map.
all their bloody powers are available instantly, without doing anything. at least in wolf et the covert needed to find a body to disguise.
placing sappers needs to be slowed down. spys can place 5 in less time than the engie can get two shots off with the shotgun..
the scout update was bad enough with the big weapon they got, pyros got no chance, they can blow the pyro out of range. what else a pyro got? axe. see above.
Free isn't good enough anymore.
Not when you can easily pirate Team Fortress 2 with cracked Steam and the latest Team Fortress 2 client content.gcf, anyway, which you can play in Setti's cracked servers.
Don't blame me, I'm just being Pirate Bay.
