"2013's been a great year for Team Fortress 2, and next year's looking to be even better. We've got some truly big surprises planned for 2014, and since nobody wants them delayed until 2015, we'd better get back to work."

this gives me an even better reason to obnoxiously offclass spy

thank you four! I would've formatted it myself but i was afraid that somebody else would've made a thread by then so i rushed it.

Im trying to create a dedicated server but i cant move (not even with noclip), i cant shoot either

selling my kidney for a strange festive crossbow

Backstab heavy>>one-shot medic. New highlander meta.

It's really not anything you can't already do with the Ambassador, just with the Ambassador you at least have to land a headshot in a time frame where you generally have less than a second (if the team is aware) to flick aim at a probably moving Medic's tiny head and land the shot without dying, now you can just bodyshot the Medic with a perfectly accurate shot ezpz and do the same thing.

i can run into soldiers holding down mouse1 and they can't shoot me
