As dumb as I think this loadout is, I think I'm gonna have a lot of fun with it! :-D

Even though it does remove what makes a sniper a sniper, it does stick to his Aussie big game hunter theme so I'm on the fence on this one until I use it. I guess it depends on what it's advantage/drawbacks are.

Rawr! This is going to be fun.

If any of you have played age of chivalry, you can throw axes/knives, and it's always hilarious to see someone with an axe in their crotch come running at you!

New game mode: "Payload Race" on the map Pipeline. Two new arena maps, one with actual rain! Check the sniper update page and click through to day two!

and day three gives us the Razorback, to keep those pesky spies from stabbing us in the back, frying them up like a kid who stuck his fork in the wall socket. Seems like a one time use item that you don't get back until you die. Think it's worth the swap out? To me that depends on if it's for the SMG or Kurkri.

I agree smurf.

I agree smurf.

I could handle losing my big knife for that but the SMG is just to useful. I'd rather chance being stabbed (hell, I'm a sniper I'm used to it) then lose short/medium range firepoewer, which will be an awesome combow (LOL) with the bow. The bow/SMG on maps with short sightlines would be so OP and if I'm that close to the action who needs spy protection when others will kill it if it stabs me.

Yeah, we may need to keep an eye on the update so we can update the server and add pipeline to the rotation.

Looks like we have an official look at the details of the update from Valve:

ShackNews: Sniper/Spy update (http://www.shacknews.com/onearticle.x/58658)

Looks like it will include all the previously mentioned items and it confirms cosmetic head gear.

Day 5 brings us (big suprise) "Meet the Spy" and the Spy achievements.

The TF2 wiki has listed the spy acheivements, offical or not we don't know but they seem right.

If those are correct, the spy is going to be one of the easiest to farm the achievements on for people.
