Well, well, well, looks like Valve hasn't Left TF2 4 Dead

:cheers:

Other upgradable Engie buildings, spys getting cloak from ammo, requesting suggestions for Scouts to be useful on the spam maps (they're the next class pack), hud upgrades, and ...

We're also working on bringing over a variety of engine improvements from Left 4 Dead into the TF2 engine, but it won't be a wholesale replacement of the engine. This means we'll get some of L4D's performance improvements, like the better multicore support, but not all of them.

Finally multicore support!:angel:

Interesting... Not so sure about the buffs, though.

Honestly, Spy needs all the help he can get at this point. Not so much when TF2 came out, but now that everyone's paranoid...

As long as you need to decloak to get extra cloak, otherwise you run back and forth between 2 ammo packs invisible forever, like some places on Dustbowl.

Loving the updates! Engie buildings kick ass but teleporters seem a bit TOO fast, they're going to make an attacking team go all spy just to destroy them.

If you have any ideas for what you think would work well, post them over on the Team Fortress 2 Forum and we'll take a look.

We're stumped. We don't know what the fuck we need to do with this class. Help plz.

Or just blow up the exits. They have to re-upgrade the replacements all over again.

I know but still, it'd be faster to just make a 32 person line to the teleport then running as a scout at this insane speed.

I'm enjoying the hell out of the spy bump. I dunno about the ammo or whatever, but standing on enemy dispensers while cloaked and giving engis clues about where you are is hands down one of the funniest things in TF2 now. It has also many practical uses the greatest of which is just time to think and wait. Overpowered? Possibly. Fun? YES
