Well, some stuff like Equalizer is a straight upgrade. Other stuff like the wrangler is just ridiculously overpowered.
Vanilla is just the most balanced and rewarding and is a way more clean experience, that's why its played in the competitive scene.

Most of the unlockables are really bad anyway.
Maybe, MAYBE the scout drink is as good as the pistol.
MAYBE the kirtz is as good as medigun
but the rest of the weapons are objectively worse than the originals.

Wrangler engineers are a spy's wet dream. If the engineer's incompetent at tracking, scouts can take them out pretty easily too.
I still run normal shovel because I'm a safe player and I stay above 100 hp anyway.

I was thinking about buying this last week. Great timing

Proving once again that Valve is one of the best in the biz. Been playing TF2 since beta, incredible game. TFC was incredible as well <3

true, also the sentry cant be repair while shooting so stuff like demo or soilder just take sentires out in 2 shot.

Time to play spy again since there will be so many new players that don't spy check.
|
Are they doing anything to reimburse people who have bought it in the past?
Played it in one weekend, but kept dying so gave up. Will try again.
|
People who bought the game before today get a special hat.
|
And privileges that the free players don't have.

The wrangler allows a sentry to become an almost impossible to kill defense juggernaut. If the engineer is any competent, he will not get backstabbed or killed by a scout. If the team only plays a little bit for the sentry, it requires a ridiculous amount of effort to get it down. That's why the wrangler is one of the things that absolutely has to be banned in 6vs6. Also, the wrangler just replaces the pistol, which an Engineer doesn't really use much anyway.
When our team played in ETF2L's highlander cup, the wrangled sentry is pretty much what the entire defense is based around. Makes Badwater first point for example stupidly hard to attack.
Well, I run shovel too, equalizer is still a straight upgrade. Plus a soldier running equalizer to mid allows you to have both sollies faster, at more HP and/or more reliably to the middle fight than when both do the jumps.

YEEEEEEEES.
I think I have more playtime on Spy than all the other classes combined, and then some.

(Blizzard failed on the first part for SC2/BNET0.2) Sorry, I don't understand? They haven't added in microtransactions yet, so they didn't fail anything in that respect.
They have.
