jesus christ.  First of all, it's a straight up upgrade from the start, and now the bullets are magical?

Second, the spy taunt kills while fully cloaked? WTF.  with the cloaked forever standing still bull shit, this'll be messy.

The gun actually isn't a straight upgrade if it were working right, it does less damage for non headshots (and fires slightly slower I guess, but that's barely noticeable).  It probably shouldn't be as crazy accurate as it is (possibly because of the collision bug stuff), that's probably the biggest problem with it.  Because the revolver was already super fucking powerful, people are just realizing it moreso because of this thing making it easier to hit now.

Wow, I was wondering why it seemed way to easy to hit scouts with that thing. How did this even pass through valve?

actually it looks like a giant downgrade. 3 mini crits to kill a medic? the regular revolver can 3shot a medic anyway it doesnt take headshots

Video is wrong in so many ways.

Crouching in TF2 does not increase accuacy.
Headshots with ambassador only happen on first shot, and do full crits, not "mini-crits".

No, it does minikrits. Takes either 3 head or bodyshots to kill off a 125 health class.

Trust me mang. I've seen it happen. It's an utter shit weapon now that it's fixed. Valve is gonna have to majorly rebalance it, because it is far inferior to the revolver.

I will probably regret linking this later once everyone starts trying to do it but:

http://captainmorgan.mit.edu/tf2/introdu...rabspy.avi

It's a "rare" disgues-kit taunt that comes up with spy

*rare meaning I don't know how to reliably reproduce it, so from what I can tell it is random

It's not really that "rare" it happens probably 1/3 times or so.  We did it a bunch already.

The Ambassador is total shit now. A headshot does about the same damage as a plain ol' revolver bodyshot. WTF is the point of it?

I'm thinking the Ambassador must be broken if it's not doing more damage.

Eh, all I really want is the dead ringer.

They'll probably give a small buff to the ambassador.

Point Blank: Regular Revolver ~60dmg
60 base * (0.85 [damage reduction] ) * (1.35 [mini-crit boost] ) ~ 69dmg

Long Range: Regular Revolver ~60dmg
(one end of ctf_bball to the other): Regular Revolver ~20dmg

Ambassador still does 69dmg b/c there's no dmg falloff for minicrits or regular crits

It was pretty much only meant for sniping as the 15% damage dropoff and the 20% speed reduction mean you get raped medium/close range :[

That's how it SHOULD work. Every field test I've done shows 46 damage for every headshot, every time, regardless of distance.


Bulletproof.

I just want to point out, for all the bitching about Valve attempting to turn TF2 into a MMO, you guys are nerd-raging just like the average WoW player.

It's happened every update.

Medic update: Blutsauger is overpowered! Pyro update: Backburner is overpowered!! *Valve removes health boost* J-Master: BACKBURNER IS FUCKING WORTHLESS Heavy: Natascha sucks, but has cool sound effects. Crit Sandvich. KGB is lulzy. Sniper/Spy: most bitching ever yet
