I'm 90% certain the sniper update stuff is still on. Valve said a couple times before this that they wanted to try to combine class updates to prevent the "everyone's one class" problem.
True, I believe it was Shacknews who spoke to Gabe and he confirmed it is a 2 in 1 update..

I thought the Doctor fight was what really made that video great. Still looking forward to Pyro most of all.

The Sniper fight was pretty cool, especially the animation. I'll probably keep to CoD4 until everything calms down and then maybe work on some achievements.

If I may read way too much into the video for a second: how cool would it be if you got a Judo Chop move as an alternative to the switchblade?  Also, a revolver that either can do headshots like the sniper or auto-crits as you're breaking disguise with it.

I feel really bad for engies, this is going to make things much harder on them. I wonder if they shouldn't have done the engie update with the spy, who really cares if the snipers of the world have less fun? Most of them aren't good enough to not be a drag on the team anyways.

My sister loves playing engineers, and she's apparently a really nasty one (she seems to kill a LOT of people with her wrench). She's already starting with the I'LL MAKE THEM ALL PAAAAAAY.

My mind is whirling with the possibilities of the cloak and dagger. You can literally stand outside any spawn point (or in a heavily trafficked area, such as the 2fort pipe or near the first chokepoint on goldrush) indefinitely and invisible. Then, anytime someone comes at you, you just sidestep, decloak, gank, recloak, and repeat. You can stand in the best spots on the map and never worry about anything. Arguably that kind of behavior by a spy is not as helpful to the team as other things, but...

Not if I'm playing a Pyro -- I rapidly tap the fire button as I move around in potential Spy areas, which includes the interiors of 2fort.

Whenever an opponent discards a card, Megrim deals 2 damage to that player.

Or there are Demomen playing. I hate them more than any Pyro. God-damned nade spam.

Engineer was my favorite, too. On the bright side, both the Engineer and Demoman may have the advantage of being the last classes to get an upgrade so maybe they'll get something really nice. Not that I play anymore to care much.

Hahahaha! I'm really good at this!

I like the demo best of all, I haven't found anything as satisfying as blowing up an entire bomb escort squad when they come out of the tunnel into a field of sticky bombs.

Sniper Domination clips: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8vptexno3HcYou know what you and Jane Austin have in common? You're both dead women. Edit: Spy Domination clips: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b7iWoHRoY9sThese are much better than the sniper. How surprised. @Black Scottish Cyclops: I'm going to finish what your liver started. @Scout: Well, off to visit your mother! @Soldier: Oh, soldier, who will they find to replace you? ANYONE! HAHAHAHAHAHAHA.

EVERYONE was playing a sniper last night. I didn't see an appreciable rise in the number of spies though.

I must have just been on the wrong servers - I was pyro-ing in anticipation of lots of spyfrying but it was just snipers and scouts all night.

I love how people don't read the patch notes and a lot of them are playing the class thinking that will unlock the weapons.

To be fair they might just want achievements.
