JAMES'S SPY UPDATE MEGATHREAD

[Maxon]

Okay, seeing that it does more than I would thought, it's not as bad as it seemed...Still pretty lame I think, but the added benefits of helping team mates on fire is pretty handy, while also being embarrassing and hilarious lol

[Vlambo]

Well doesn't this kinda counter the one problem the sniper had (Not being able to help the team!)

[Benito Mussolini]

Well doesn't this kinda counter the one problem the sniper had (Not being able to extinguish fire!)

Obviously.

[Fail Medic]

I really don't know what else they could have done that would have been signature, but I'm still underwhelmed.

[Badgerman of DOOM]

Eh. If Razorback is melee slot then it is not gonna be used by me.

[Loqutus]

Jarate + Ambassador + Headshot = One-hit kill on 8/9 classes

YOU HEARD IT HERE FIRST

[Benito Mussolini]

Jarate + Ambassador + Headshot = One-hit kill on 8/9 classes

Only time I'll hear it, since chances are the Amabassador won't crit in heads.

[Luca Shoal]

Parting Shot = penetration from the sniper rifle :O? (ala the Meet the Sniper vidya)
Enemy at the Gate = Snipe someone before the round starts?

[K2]

Enemy at the Gate = Snipe someone before the round starts?

Probably for sniping someone within a second after the round starts.

Edit:
[wrong thread]

The Jarate seems mostly about spy countering.  Spy hits your razorback and you throw a jar of pee at them.  It's a one two punch.

[CaffeinePowered]

So wait...the razorback replaces the SMG and the piss jar replaces the kukuri, so....if you had both of them, you really have no close range defense, unless you are using the huntsman too.

[Spore]

the razorback replaces the SMG and the piss jar replaces the kukuri...

Other way around.

Or rather... the razorback replaces nothing.

It's enough that's it's only useful once and that it slows you down.
You want to take away a weapon on top of that? All that for a counter against one single backstab?

suits most snipers fine, they just stand at the back picking off other snipers heavies and medics, they are to far away from any real danger since their team does most of the work, only thing they have to worry about is other snipers and spies, only thing thats gonna protect them from snipers is skill and now they have a massive defense against their main counter (this seems stupid to me) the spy, now snipers can get back to target practice instead of playing the actual game like everyone else : D

Now spies can just walk up and blow them away with the Ambassador, and there'll be nothing the Sniper can do about it except piss on the spy.

[Dave]
