The spy side of things...

Sorry it got a little cut off...but

• Spies can now control which weapon the enemy team sees them holding by pressing the last disguise button while disguised.
• Changed backstab handling to fix facestabs.
• Spies disguised as enemy team can now see player IDs for enemies.

Seems interesting, I'm happy about no more facestabs, and the new disguise buff probably wont work out, for long anyways, but its cool.

The disguise buff will probably fool people for about 147 minutes....


facestabs were how I got most of my kills

Yeah, thats what i thought.

Kind of hope that the facestab thing isn't to glitchy.

I hope they really did fix the backstab detection

I bet it's fixed like it was fixed last year.

Well, you don't get side stabs anymore, so you do have to be pretty much 100% behind the person, you can get a sidestab if you try hard enough.

However

one thing I've noticed.

I don't get the backstab animation anymore.

At all.

i hope its just a ninja buff and not a glitch

EDIT: The range also seems slightly shorter, and side stabs are entirely possible and quite easy after a couple more minutes of practice.

I think they just took away the bad animation.

Exactly. Let it be known right here that if the following happens, Chro and I have the right to tell all of the nay-sayers to go fuck themselves:

1) Good players will just be slightly more annoyed, but spy will be just as ineffective.
2) Shitty players will thinks it's godsend until they realize people will learn and then
3) Spy is still just as gimped.

We called that shit.

Why not just add this for all classes? At least Spy if they want to be so picky about it.

I agree, but the points system has issues anyway, no point spending time fixing something so meaningless anyhow.
