"Spies will be able to recharge their cloaking ability by picking up ammo off of the ground."

I hope this will be canned, because it removes ammunition from it's original resource cycle. The spy doesn't need ammo much , but all of the combat classes do.

My suggestion would be a flat percentage (e.g. 20%) gain for every successful backstab kill. That way successful spies are rewarded, but Joe Average spy with constantly recharging cloak meter won't nick any little bit of ammo on the ground. The latter make up 99.99% of the spy population anyway!

Nobody noticed how fast enemy spies decloak, but when u decloak yourself it takes ages :p

Just read Kab his comment -> 100% agree.
Metal = for ammo

Whats next ? Medics picking up ammo to fill quicker their uber or kritzkrieg ?

No, they are rewared when hitting/killing enemies with the ubersaw to fill up quicker their uber .
Maybe it was needed to have a reward system to re-fill cloak quicker, but not this way.

Boooooooo.

The updates for engie and spy are out now. Is this the first time Valve announces something and releases it in the space of a couple of days?

I was looking forward to the demoman update being next, instead it's that little speedy midget. Better start playing something other than demo with all the scouts we'll be seeing :(

What could they possibly give the scout instead of his current weapons? The smg like was originally planed? A bat that can hit enemy projectiles? Perhaps a bat that gives him a 3 second speed boost when he kills someone with it in the same way the heavy's gloves gives him crits.

I say bring on the scouts and let Natasha spin. It'll soon piss em off enough to think about it. Like a well played pyro vs soldier.

I'm not looking forward to the scout upto either but it will be entertaining. The spy though.. wow.. faster cloak replensihment = sniper deaths by the dozen :) Now if only they could allow backstabs whilst cloaked... mmmmm

Is going to the market about attack and counterattack? What about eating a dumpling? Or even cleaning behind your ears?
