This sucks. Now spies will jump on the teles without even considering the poor soldier or heavy who probably needs it more than him. >=( Plus, every other player gives off a sparkly trail behind them, why should spies get some special treatment? Argh. Idiot Valve and their need to constantly tweak the classes. ~
On a lighter note..good to see Valve add new animations and voices. The medpacks and ammo crates in the enemy base on 2Fort will hopefully encourage players to attack and not turtle for hours on end.
