A few weeks ago, I whined that Valve was prepping a Sniper update for Team Fortress 2, which I feared would lead to even more useless Snipers — who often hide in corners, never change classes and do little to actually accomplish objectives — flooding TF servers. But Valve, as always, has a trick up its sleeve: rolling out the Spy update at the same time.
Over at the official TF2 site, Valve is up to Day 4 unveiling bits of the update, which includes back armor for the Sniper (protecting from one backstab), a crossbow, and several Spy updates, including a feign death on hit and permanent invisibility while standing still. It’ll still be a week or two of Spies and Snipers running amok, but at least it won’t be just Snipers.
Oh, and I almost forgot the coolest part: a new Payload “race” map where teams push two carts side-by-side. SWEET.
