[The Scout]

Nilocy said something about donating for the server. So, like, do that. We can't even get everyone in sometimes, and I'm making an event about once a day.

I'm making an event about once a day.

This would be neat if actually followed.

Update is inbound this week.
http://www.teamfortress.com/uberupdate/

Just had a look at the first two sets that have been identified. The silent spin-up minigun is going to make for nice ambush heavies. The Heavies other two weapons don't look as good, although the shotgun is decent if you actually use one. The brass knuckles I don't think will work that well but need to experiment to find out for sure.

The spy's new gun looks like it is designed to go with the dead ringer where the longer cloaking time should not apply. The knife looks decent though another decreased health knife again.

 Heavys new minigun looks interesting. Don't know how to feel about the new shotgun, I guess 8 shots would be nifty to have. Also don't know how to feel about the new melee weapon for him. Will be nice to not have such a slow swing speed, but that is a huge damage reduction right there. Could be fun with the steak sandwhich.

Makes his melee work a bit more like the scout's bat.

So it only depends how batshit you want to go.

;P

So, the last of the Spy unlocks... what is it? A new taunt? A misc item? (The update poster shows the Spy wearing the rose like a pin.) Or is it some devilishly-crafted new weapon whose stats Valve has cunningly withheld? 

[Metalax]

It sounds and looks like a misc item, but the reference to throwing it might mean that it gives a new taunt to (possibly) the disguise kit.

[jester]

new spy revolver looks fairly badass.  Kritz spy for 150 damage anybody?  heavy shotgun does look fairly fail, be good for engi or pyro maybe, but heavys need samis to heal their meds (I play alot of med)

+75% Spinup time? Do want. The other items I'm not all that excited about.

You want a slower minigun?

Brass Beast 2.0! No...you know what I meant.

So... what other items do we expect to see?  Probably the latest batch of beta items, or at least some of them.

[PTTG??]

The Knife looks really interesting actually...

[Strange guy]

Does +75% faster spin up time mean it only takes 25% of the time to spin up, or does it mean you can spin it up 1.75 times for each time you spin up the minigun? First seems sensible and fits with how the Brass Beast being slower works, but seems very over powered. If you need 8 shotgun shells you'll be fighting long enough to justify spinning up, not great for heavy. Heavies are the slowest class so in any melee fight enemies only need to close while they are attacking. So quick attacking is useless, especially with lower dps. I guess there's more to this weapon or something? Then again when the razorback was released it slowed you down and spies could instantly switch to revolver, so we shouldn't be surprised when Valve releases something incredibly weak.

The spy items seem a bit better though.

How is this supposed to work with a slowass heavy? I suppose the steak is the only real way of making this great, or just trying to move into people with no need for dancing around.

 From what I can tell it's basically a faster spinup minigun with 20% reduced damage. For a few seconds after spinning up you'll do more damage than the vanilla minigun before their DPS catches up and surpasses this one.
