That's what you get for never playing.

If you notice in the picture and in the description, the dead wringer is not a typical wrist watch.
It does not actually go on your wrist, and the spy is even shown holding the watch as a weapon (hint: replaces something that is held).
In other words, the dead wringer will replace the revolver since that is both held. I don't think they would replace the disguise since that is kind of essential to playing spy.

The cloak and dagger will replace the standard cloak watch as the spy's wrist watch.
Details my dear friend Watson, details.

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.


Yes and... No

There IS going to be more than 1 item to switch out with each weapon. BUT with the coding people have found of "Random Item Drops", these are the items to add toward yours backpack and another weapon to swap in and out. I won't say that after every class gets an update, valve will just stop making new weapons to add to the game. I do hope they just make random stats for old guns to "find" just to stop valve from making more weapons so valve will focus on OTHER things (Body, legs, gloves, arms, and etc).

What is random stats for these guns?
Theses guns are proven to be balanced to a 1:1 ratio
Some guns are 1:2 (-50% damage on non-flaming target; +100% critical chance on flaming target)
and some guns are 1:4 (-25% damage; +100% chance of slowing target down)
But majority of the guns are 1:1
Medi-gun = -25% of overheal, +25% uber charge rate
Scatter gun = -50% ammo capacity, +50% critical chance
"Weapon name" = -X% (What you hope to find to lose), +X[Ratio](What you hope to find to gain)

Couple things I noticed while watching "Meet The Spy":

1) The scout touched the briefcase and didn't uncloak
2) A sliding sapper
3) A lethal attack while disguised

Now these are probably things that don't mean anything, but I thought it might be a hint of things to come.

Jarate, Ambassador, Achievement pictures. Discuss?

Jarate - Told you so. Besides that... crap like the razorback. Sniper just got abunch of anti-spy and random crap.
Ambassador - Sniping, sure, slow firing... maybe not. Sure you get to land your all of your shots. But... it just doesn't kill the guy shooting at you fast enough. My guess is 100% accuracy for -25% firing speed.
Achievements - Spy kill taunt bitches! Oh and I have a feeling the spy is going to get a knife that'll drain health instead of backstabs. If it's true, then this "new" knife which I believe is called "Dracula" (meet the spy in HD announcer board, lost dracula [Lost your knife when target dies] and found dracula [Pick your knife back up) then I'll combo well with Ambassador.

Step 1: Stab person A
Step 2: Shoot person B with ambassador
Step 3: ?????
Step 4: PROFIT! DOUBLE KILL!

I am liking this update more and more every day.

P.S. Whoever said the spy is hot is wrong. Spy doesn't have shit on Saxton Hale.

P.P.S.

WHERE IS MY BOOMERANG, VALVE? WHERE?!

I didn't want it to stun. I didn't want it to reveal Spies. I didn't want it to bring shit to me like in Zelda -- I JUST WANTED A BOOMERANG TO HIT PEOPLE WITH!!

...Oh hell, who cares, they're still updating my favorite class...

And Meet the Spy was incredible so I suppose they're forgiven.

Also, Lead Salad, I agree. Saxton Hale is a sexy, sexy beast.

Dammit. I may need to play sniper more often (well, more often than the one time I played it and got frustrated and switched back to engie).

I kind of like the bow and arrow (actually, I'm a fairly decent shot IRL). I'm also fairly good with a rifle, which kind of leads me to wonder if I shouldn't play sniper more.


Not to worry - no spying or sniping for me until the newness of the update wears off. I'll run around burning snipers and spies (or protecting my sentry from them).

It's a pretty logical next step with them giving the sniper all old style weapons. Plus he can be an alright support class now.

Just pretend it is lemon juice and go on with the game.
