RAAAGHH!! HERE I COME!
Remember when the Medic Achievements and New weapons came out? And how every single game you joined regardless of what team was absolutely filled to the brim with medics running like headless chickens with no one else but themselves to uber? Then after a while when everything died down and veterans breathed a sigh of relief, valve thought the time was right to let another class pack out… once again, when you thought it was safe to come out with your newly acquired ubersaw, you got you freakin @$S roasted by a farming pyro. Spies joined the endangered list after it was hunted to almost extinction along with the elephants and Eskimos… wait, what its that?
Shh.. Can you hear it? The blades of 300 Spartan Spies sharpening their blades already, nothing but the red tip of the cigarette glowing ominously in the darkness. Waiting… patiently… for the thrill of the butterfly knife severing the muscles and tendons of the unprotected back of the vulnerable heavy… Oohh noOOO! This is where the spy makes its comeback and off the endangered list… With the move speed of the Heavy only 77% compared to the 100% of the spy, it would be as easy as cake to take down these mammoth giants wearing cotton crit gloves. Even with the excess of the fully buffed Heavy with 450 HP and a sandvich is no match for the spies ∞ damage from the dreaded backstab.
Despite my warning to you about spies, I am a hypocrite and sadly, I will not be one of those 300 Spartan spies running around making newbie’s and farmers rage-quit. Griefing is always second to new cotton gloves in MY book.
And another big welcome to Kamikaze Dude, with more update love 
– cheers, madlep

Umm, dude? The weapons were already announced. The K.G.B., which you mentioned, Natascha, a minigun which does 75% of Sasha’s damage but slows the enemy down, and the Sandvich, which takes four seconds to eat but heals the heavy 120 health. No anti-spy weapons.

Oh, forgot to mention: great first post. As a frequent Spy, I’m definitely excited about this one.

@Cadillac – Yeah, my bad. Kamikaze’s post was sitting in the queue for a few days. It was about right when it was submitted, but not so much when more info was out. I just did a ninja edit so it makes more sense in light of what we now know of the heavy update of doom.

I just can’t wait for the Spy achievements. Imagine 32 slot servers, all spies. >.>

Heh, I’ve already seen it happening. From a distance, three or four successive “AAARGGGHHAAA” or “AAHHHHNNAAANHHAAA”, with that lovely backstab icon filling up the kill queue. I have yet to try it myself, as medics seem to be devoid on a lot of servers, and there are a lot of heavies to heal – but when I do, it’ll be glorious.

Forgive me for nitpicking, but there seems to be an error in your grammer:
“Shh.. Can you hear it? The BLADES of 300 Spartan Spies sharpening their BLADES already”
