Gah.... wish I would have started this update while I was at work...

Sweet, I just updated a few minutes ago.
I'm assuming eGO might be adding some of the new maps? I really want to play on some of those!

I hope so. They look like so much fun. I hope we get a KOTH server :O

I'm sure I'll be one of a million to post this, but the lack of +hp vs cloaked spies is a mistake. Spies have more than enough bonuses now to last them through all the rest of the class updates. They need no further improvement.

Yeah, I'm not sure why spies keep getting so many new abilities...

Because even incredibly good spies can be outwitted by most players. Ill call foul to a flame proof suit but anything else is fair game. Once a spy gets caught, its pretty much game over and death, because a spy has almost no defense against most players that might attack. The knife does the least damage of all the melees and the ambassador can hardly headshot a person anymore.

You should not be able to tell if a spy is a spy unless you actually run into them or set them on fire. That way if you are caught at least its fair.

Ubercharged players can no longer be stunned

Wasn't that the main point of the sandman?

the 32 player Scoreboard still works with this update.. all you need to do is re-apply it. tested it myself just to make sure

 

[mudkiller]

yes, lots of nice additions / changes.

"Disguised Spies no longer trigger On-Hit effects (like the Blutsauger's heal)."

Noooooooooooooo!!!!!

 

[Planeswalker]

Interesting. The Sandman drops your HP instead of removing double jump. Not sure how I feel about it, but an interesting change nonetheless.

Definitely can't wait to try this out.

EDIT:

As a note with the update: one of the secret pages (just discovered it on another forum I visit) has a link to get a free in game item for the first 11,111 users.

Go grab one! I got mine

 

[Pimen]

Oh , thanks i have one

Poor scout. I won't be playing it anymore since the sandman lowers the HP to 95

 

[Sharp_Shooter]

I'm still waiting for my medal...

Since the update I actually find myself liking the scout more than before. I use the sandman more than the normal bat and I've found that the -30 damage doesn't really matter when you are good enough to 1) avoid damage and 2) stun and kill enemies before they can even react. The scout has always been a class of tact and approach. You need to have a plan to get in and get out of battles as quickly as you can with the class and the Sandman allows skilled players to take complete advantage of this.

I don't like the inability to stop ubercharges but it was something that the competitive players were crying about, causing it to be banned from nearly every league out there. So the change is understandable.

Thank you Valve.

As I read this, I was listening to "That'll be the Day" (by Buddy Holly).

I thought that was relevant to this post.
