TF2 Spy update to coincide with Sniper update

PC News | The Spy sneaks in on the action.
A little bit of Spy versus Sniper action is on the cards for Team Fortress 2, with Valve's Doug Lombardi confirming that the upcoming Sniper update to Team Fortress 2 will also include updates for the Spy class.

As revealed on the Team Fortress blog, two Spy unlockables have been divulged by way of a fake order form page on the site. The 'Dead Ringer' spy watch is a clever little contraption which is set to mislead many players. Activating the Dead Ringer will leave a 'fake' dead corpse of the Spy on the ground, while the 'real' Spy is cloaked for eight seconds, giving him enough time to move in for the kill undetected.

The second item unveiled was the 'Cloak and Dagger' spy watch. This item will grant its user with the ability to regenerate their cloaking device by standing skill. This item will have interesting ramifications on gameplay as being immobile will mean that the Spy is able to remain hidden indefinitely.

Valve has also finally divulged a release date for the update, stating that gamers will be able to play with their new toys from next Thursday, 21 May 2009.

Oooer Spy Update... I might need to start playing TF2 again. I just hope they've stopped with the silly achievements to unlock the items, it just encourages "farming" =\

unlocking the achievements to get the items is still there for now, but thats meant to be changing soon, probably when the hat update is released.
