Actually, that's one part where I'm totally confused. What exactly was the Spy update? We are given 2 new items, so does that mean that each are a new unlockable, or is the "cloak and dagger" watch a replacement for the existing cloak so that the ammo refill cloak will actually no longer exist as an option?
When I first read the update, I thought we were given the fake death thing as a replacement for either the sapper or the gun (probably the sapper), and the standing still cloak as a replacement for the existing cloaking device (meaning, the existing ammo refilling device will be no more). Both new items are "spy watches", which to me means they occupy the same weapon slot. If that's the case, then either the spy gets a choice between 3 spy watches, or the existing spy watch (cloak that refill with ammo) is gone.
HOWEVER, after thinking about that, I don't see the fake death spy watch as even been remotely useful if it meant you replaced your cloak with it. How can a spy exist without his cloak? My main class is spy, and I could never see myself playing spy without the ability to cloak.
HOWEVER TIMES 2, we still don't know what the spy's other unlockable(s) are. As such, perhaps a new unlockable will make the spy more viable without cloak, thus making the sacrifice of cloak for fake death easier to swallow.
HOWEVER TIMES 3, I have no friggin clue, but I'm giddy with excitement because just about every scenario I can think of still means cool updates for the game!
EDIT: I totally forgot to reference the quote! The reason I went off on all my "howevers" was to basically say that if for Phobos' timeline to be correct, the day 4 update would have only introduced us to one new unlockable, leaving 2 more for the spy. Many people think it's actually two different unlockables, leaving just one more unlockable for both the spy and the sniper.
