Team Fortress 2 Sniper Update Info, Pyro Megaton

Ha, that's just awesome, so is this really not a sniper update? Was all that fake? Damn you Valve, they were so stupid yet perfect I can't tell if you were faking us out :lol

anyone knows a good server that uses only official maps. And not just one map, multiple maps

I usually play on Lotus clan servers now, and they have a few servers dedicated as Stock maps. Just sort for the name, they have a bunch of servers.

It is both.
 
I love the fact that among all the labels in the "alarm room", there's things such as "smells", "found Dracula", "Is a robot" and "Leaked Video". This kind of attention to details is why Valve > All.
 
Well, besides the self-mocking achievement the video also seems to be.. updated since last time :) Edit: Beaten.

I usually hang around there, or Baron's Pubs (since I knew Baron a ways back).
 
"NEEDS ROMMATE" "HAS EVIL TWIN" :lol

Btw am I the first to notice that
the red spy knifes the Soldier and Heavy right at the end in rythmn with the music?

Yay! Can't wait to farm cheesemints on achievement_spy :P

Feh, farming's silly. I haven't farmed anything, only got back into the game a few months ago, and have all but one upgrade item (the Ubersaw; I need better Medic buddies).

As much mileage as the community has gotten out of various other gags, we'll probably still be hearing variations on this one for years.

I'm happy to see they didn't unlock Welcome to the internets 2: Learn the hard way that there's no take backs on the internets.

Hahahaha. *edit* Two minutes, grr...

I don't get that one. What youtube thing are they talking about?

The entire leak was because Apple's YouTube iPhone app doesn't account for "private" videos, which Meet the Spy was tagged as when it leaked.
 
All I can say is I can't wait for the Spy update to come out. I'll have no choice but to start playing again and play Pyro. Suddenly nearly every friendly person I see will be a spy. And then the barbecue begins.
 
I can't wait to get on servers where everyone will either be a sniper or a spy, it's so damn fun to play along. Ususally starts with everyone joining together somewhere, doing some stuff and chatting, then someone comes along and starts the fighting.



I love it when people do this on release day.

Along with the three people playing pyro and killing everyone else. :lol

I was just thinking last night, though...even though defense might seem annoying or boring sometimes, there are times when it really hits you how well the team aspect of Team Fortress 2 works. I was playing with a decent team on a 16v16 full server (or close to it), and we held the second cart point on that long cartbomb map. I should know the name but I always get them confused. Probably badwater or gravel pit or something.

Anyway, I was a heavy blocking the top door, with an uber medic behind me. An engineer had everyone spawning and immediately coming out on top of the roof box. A sniper and a couple more people were defending the back from people sneaking around, and an engineer or two had sentries protecting the cart track and maybe the back stairs. Other people were defending the tracks on the ground, maybe with a sentry, maybe by demo-camping the stairs, maybe by running around and toasting spies.

Basically, everyone was just presumably having fun, and doing their own different jobs, and we held it against the (somewhat non-coordinated) other team. :)
 
From the blog:

As many of you know, the Meet the Spy video was leaked this weekend. Some of you on the forum have wondered if Valve leaked it on purpose. And until we find the clown who did leak it, the answer to that is yes.

Others of you have started a petition to stop Valve from firing anyone over the leak. Once again, this just goes to show you how valuable customer feedback is to us—we hadn't even thought of doing that, but once you see it there in print, it's a fantastic idea. I've been asking people all morning who was responsible and come up empty. But now that I've started firing people, they can't name names fast enough. So far I've got sixty-seven names in the "suspicious" category, fifteen in "very suspicious", and another forty-three I'd been wanting to fire anyway.

I'll keep you posted as I track down the culprit. Rest assured, though: Until I find the person responsible, I vow that Valve will stop work on all projects.

The awesome part is that you'll know the makeup of your team, so assuming you've got 3 Pyros, 2 Snipers, and everyone else as Spies, it should make determining who's in disguise very, very easy. That is, until all the Spies start disguising themselves solely as one class, confusing the hell out of everyone on the other side.
 
Are the achievements retrofitted or do I have to get started on all the requirements from scratch as soon as they go live?

Get to grinding when it goes up.

Knife that breaks weapons? Revolver that head shots?
You're refering to The Man with the Broken Guns?

Doubtful. The engineer refered to his a sentry guns like that: "How do I stop one mean mother hubbard from tearing me a structurally superfluous new behind? The answer? Use a gun. And if that don't work... use more gun."

The diagram has a sapper and a knife on it. My bet is killing 3 engineers while their sentry guns are sapped.

At least he didn't QUOTE THE HUGE IMAGE. (said before you edited)

If you weren't F5ING LIKE A MANIAC, you wouldn't have seen it.

I thought about leaving it in there for the full effect...

Valve's head of HR, Kathy, just came to talk to me. I'd been lining up employees in a row against the wall so I could run past and fire them faster.

"You're fired you're fired you're fired you're fired oh hi, Kathy. What's up?"

"I'm a little concerned that you're mistreating your authority." I nodded, then reminded her that we'd talked about her using smaller words.

"We think you've gone mad with power," she said, talking slowly and using her hands. That's when I knew: She was in on it. Best not to take any chances, I thought, as I reached for my firing stick.

I've been working through the staff in alphabetical order. So far I'm up to the L's. I told Marc Laidlaw I had a book in my office I wanted him to see. I didn't tell him the name of that book: Marc Laidlaw, You Are Fired, by Robin Walker.
:lol

Overheard: Robin Walker gets results

"Alden, you have three seconds to tell me why you're fired."
"Wait, what? I—"
"You're fired."

"You wanted to see me, Robin?"
"Yes, Greg. What's the difference between you and you're fired?"
"I — what?"
"Clean out your desk, Greg."

"Yeah, Robin?"
"Ah, come in, Matt. How's the family?"
"Oh. Uh, good. What's this ab—"

"Top drawer. How about your little boy? He getting better at the ol' soccer?"
"Football. No, not really."
"Do you think he'd be any good at cleaning out your desk by five?"
"I —"
"Because you're fired."

"Laidlaw, it says here you're a writer. Well, let me tell YOU a story. Once upon a time you were fired. Then you cleaned out your desk by five."

"You wanted to see me, Robin?"
"Eric. I'd like you to clean your desk."
"I — sure, sir."
"Outbyfive."
"Out by...?"
"Why! Oh! Why-Oh-You! Oh-You-Are-Eee! You're Fired!"
