Pipeline. Pipeline is the first map in a new game mode named payload race, which uses two carts in each map instead of only one like traditional payload maps
New Arena Maps: Sawmill, Nucleus
New community payload map: Hoodoo
New Sniper Stuff:
- Sniper rifle replacement -- the medium-range Huntsman longbow. Bow allows you to move and fire more quickly.
- New SMG replacement(1): Jarate. If thrown on an enemy they will take more damage for short period of time. Also extinguishes flames on yourself or allies
- New SMG replacement (2): The Razorback shield. Protects you against a single spy backstab and stuns the spy for a short period. Incurs with a 15% move speed penalty for the wearer
- Standard sniper rifle now shoots through friendly players
- 54 new Sniper voice lines
- 35 new Sniper achievements
New Spy Stuff
- New revolver replacement: The Ambassador. First shot is very accurate and will cause a critical hit if it hits an enemy's head. Accuracy is poor for a period after that.
- New watch replacement (1): the Dead Ringer. When armed, you will appear in all ways to die from the first damage you take from an enemy. You'll be cloaked for 8 second after taking this damage. Upon de-cloaking you'll make a loud, distinct sound
- New watch replacement (1) the Cloak and Dagger. Your cloak meter is only depleted when you move, so you can stay invisible indefinitely if you're standing still
- Spies can now use enemy teleporters
- 70 new Spy voice lines
- 34 new Spy achievements
