Oh Lawdy, a dual release??

I'll be back when the new players are done achievement farming :P

I got the sense that the two watches were to supplant the original watch, leaving the revolver and sapper untouched.

I mean, is he really gonna carry two watches around?

You'll be on fire like any other time you try to cloak and are set on fire.

Do you mean the dead ringer? That's what seems to be more confusing w/ regards to fiyah.
Though I think the fire will negate the effect of it, as the flame is continuous.

I'm kind of under the impression that the Dead Ringer will still work as normal even when your hit with flames.

EX: A Pyro comes after you, lights you up, and you leave a corpse behind that's meant to be a fabricated version of yourself. (This is the part that makes no sense) If the Pyro continues using his flamethrower while your invisible, the Dead Ringer is null-in-void (possibility?).

But this is where I'm sort of confused: because of the fanatic nature of the game, it's not unusual to have a swarm of rockets and grenades take you down, even when your cloaked normally. Is there a possibility that the Dead Ringer has some type of damage immunity like Bonk? Because if you think about it, if it's like your normal cloak, wouldn't it be possible to die while your invisible (again) in the middle of a spy checking frenzy?

I strongly believe at this point that Dead Ringer has a cool down meter (like the sandman) which makes it useful for one good go around, disables your normal cloaking watches and your other weapons, making it an escapist option.

EDIT: I confused the names while I was writing. XD

I actually keep thinking that the Dead Ringer was one of those freeze time watches. When the spy gets hit, he'll slow down time (or make himself go faster) then drop a body and quickly escape from danger. This would make countering people who knows about the dead ringer and continues shooting for the spy who's alive more easier and makes the dead ringer more of a useful tool for the spy.

Here's a good reason why both these ARE NOT the same unlock replacement. Why would you use the dead ringer when you NEED to be hit first to cloak? Combat spy? You still need the optional cloaking effect. Unless the dead ringer can still give you the option to cloak on your own. I've heard rumors that the dead ringer is the replacement for the cloak and dagger watch. Cloak and dagger will replace the old and current watch and become the original base watch.

I think you overestimate the meaning of a promo shot. The knife is never actually left in an enemy after they're killed. Does this mean he's getting throwing knives? No.

The unlockable weapons are being expanded beyond "one replacement weapon per slot" There are two watch-slot unlockables, with others to be revealed.

Note that the "backpack" screen includes more 27 slots ( logic being 9*3, 3 unlocks per character ) Valve won't stop building unlockables once there are 3 per character. Over time, this will become a full-blown "items" system, hopefully trying to maintain balance.

And disguise is far from central to Spy. I can quote Valve directly on the observed and proven ineffectiveness of the disguise.

Its been a while now...a couple months...
