TF2: Sniper Update Coming Soon

For the people that didn't know it yet, the Sniper update is coming out soon http://www.teamfortress.com/sniperupdate/. From now on we know that he'll get a Longbow, which is epic win to me :D.
I hope the achievements will be fun too.

(is it ok that i double post because i can't edit my previous one anymore?)

Something someone noticed in today's update news, if you look at the sniper update's page, you can see a dead spy with a different looking revolver

meh, the scout update pissed me off that much that I've all but stopped playing tf2 now.

Why did it piss you off? You don't like achievements?

all I know is, bows are awesome, I might have to get back into tf2, as I am sniper rapage, especially since the reason I stopped in the first place is because EVERYONE was using pyros after their update, so with more out, that problem is hopefully gone

I totally agree with you, Bows are awesome, and everyone being a Pyro is very annoying (especially as spy, they always know where you are for some reason).

Let's hope it'll be here soon. I hope It's released this weekend.

you can see a shimmer in the air, believe me, all i played before the update was pyro

Hmm never noticed that.

Anyways, I found something very creepy right now. Look at the Sniper Update page day 3 again. There's suddenly a cloaked spy behind him! I did some research and came here: http://www.rockpapershotgun.com/2009/05/15/sniper-update-day-3-things-get-mysterious/

The update IS a spy! http://www.teamfortress.com/spyupdate/

-It's a simultaneous update in order to keep the classes balanced!

-Pretty witty Valve. +1 for all the hints and clues in the first 3 days of sniper updates. (they flashed an image of the spy half-clocked behind the sniper's day 3 update for 10 minutes). The TF2 forums went wild with people claiming they saw it, and others not believing them... Well it's out now!

I know, lol I posted that 5 min before day 4. Anyways, nice job Valve! I just hope the Sniper update will come with it, since the Sniper unlockables look cooler than the spy unlockables IMO.
