By the way, I propose we keep a 5punk weapon bank. I already have a cartload of duplicates, so once trading comes out, I can offer them to the lazy/unlucky.
I like this idea.

I have the feeling Bonks and Flare Guns will be sort of a currency.

I heard they're going to put levelling in counterstrike.
Deagle +10 to head shots anyone?

It's only one step in that direction. The entire journey is 1000 miles.

Nothing wrong with a large selection of weapons, long as they keep it reasonably unique.

Thank fuck for that, they've seen sense and made the new items gettable by effort rather than lottery, and also makes them worth something.
I just wish they'd have done that from the start.

Thank fuck.
I think I pretty much have the first two milestones for spy just from normal play
Edit: Actually I have two sniper milestones and all spy milestones. Hur-fucking-ray. The only thing I'm missing is the razorback, which requires me to get one more sniper achievement, which will be easy to do since half of them relate to pissing on people and now that I have piss in a jar I can do that

Good. I got caught out by this a couple of times as a sniper. Shooting someone in the wrong colour clothes but seeing no blood I left them alone thinking they were from my own team. Then I'd get stabbed.

Typical, I start racking through the sniper achievements and get to the 2nd milestone within in hour, and then get the Cloak and Dagger (lvl 5 watch, so 1st spy achievement award I think), which I was going to work towards in a few days time.
I also quite like the Huntsman, takes a little while to get the hang of it though.

how odd, I got the first sniper achievement, yet it won't tell me I did. Dammit steam!

2 minutes in a game and you should get it.
By the way I have duplicates of everything now.
