seen as I suck with the revolver, and dont fire it often, the Ambassador looks like a great alternative. Maybe ill be able to hit people with it occasionally

Magnum's a great weapon with a bit of practice, powerful and accurate.

If you think the current rifle isnt powerful enough, you just cant aim. Topping servers with a huge score over 2nd place is easy as Sniper as long as the map gives a decent spot, Goldrush for example.

I can get close to 100 points every game on 2fort, its easy just aim for the head

.

HWG's are the best as they just don't expect to die off one shot

What servers do you guys all play on?

I used to play with PCGamer members but it's all gone pants on that front now!

|UKCS| has a bunch of servers that usually have at least one with people on it and they work together well

I generally go on the GTFO servers at the moment, you will normally find me nailing everyone on TF2 as a sniper

I highly recommend the hampshire heavies servers, always full and at least a few on the go with 24/24 in the evenings with a fairly steady rotation of people joining!

The site is thehh.co.uk if anyone wants to grab their IP's and add to favourites!

|UKCS| and multiplay servers are also good but the community and regulars on HH's make it what it is!

Seriously can't wait for the update, although gotta give it a few days to settle down and hope everyone stops trying to choose spy

Simian Cage have a good regular crowd.

So it IS just a spy update?

Haw. SO called pages ago.

+1 for the HH servers. Good bunch.

Revolution6000 · 20 May 2009 at 11:34

Where does it say that it's only a spy update?

DampCat · 20 May 2009 at 11:48

All the information regarding the "Sniper Update" is pointing towards the Spy update. Even the URL's redirect. Spy's have had their achievements released. Have Sniper achievements been released?

Revolution6000 · 20 May 2009 at 11:48

There are still two days to go.

Started playing this again recently in the light of the updates coming. Spy was always my favourite class so I'm really looking forward to this.

Bah, it's a lot more fun running about on the front lines trying to snipe everyone close range

Sure you'll die more often but makes you look pro and insane

Appearing in unusual places is fun as well.

Can you show me where they said they aren't?

Valve's Doug Lombardi has confirmed to us that the update will include both the Spy and Sniper unlockables

looking at the update pages, i'm expecting a double update, but would'nt be too suprised if they did the spy first then maybe later in the week release the sniper?

^edit; ahh
