I just wanted hear people's thoughts ont the spy portion of this update.

You can pick up ammo while cloaked and it will refill your cloak.  Tested, done.

And, I've noticed if you know where the ammo packs are you can make it from one side of the map to the other while cloaked.

I'm a bad Spy, and I wondered what more experienced Spies woudl think of this?

Is it too much?

Should you be able to get more cloak while cloaked?

 If you comment, try to state whether you're talking about 24player pubs, or 6v6 tournies.  In my mind there's a large difference in play style.

I personally don't see this being too much for 24 players Pubs, but maybe it's too much for 6v6 etc....

OR, is it the boost the Spy needs for competitive play?

i think the ammo packs thing is kinda cheap, now you can have 20 whole seconds of cloak if you happen to run anywhere near a full ammo pack...so meh
it will affect pubs more because no one really plays spy in 6v6 anyways

Well, my point was there is such a ridiculous amount of spam on Pubs.  But, not on 6v6.

Spam is bad for Spies.  At least at my semi-noob level with Spy it's difficult.

How long do ammo packs take to regenerate? Seems like you could camp an ammo pack to get continuous cloak as well. I think the updates are great personally, but I also play spy quite a bit so of course I'm going to lean in that direction.

The spacing between most ammo packs is to great for you to be able to effectivly run from one end of the map to the other.  However, if there is enough fighting in one area, it will make for easier ammo finding to stay cloaked.

I havn't gotten a chance to play the update yet, but I think I will love this...more cloak ftw

The only problem is that the ammo packs will be used up a lotmore

Spy Stategy: Backstab and pick up the victims weapon for +5secs of cloak

Anti-Spy Strategy: Keep your eyes peeled for vanishing ammo packs

@ Rosendoom

I just recently played Goldrush.  I really just wanted to see the new changes.  And, I played some Badwater.

On defense, I was able to run from one side of the map to the enemies' spawn while cloaked.

Seeing as disguising doesn't work very well, this is an awesome update. Shouldn't be to bad of a problem.

Does the dispenser recharge cloak or not?
