    Mindless achievement speculation has been pretty well covered, but here's an idea I hadn't seen (although I may have missed it in the avalanche of posts recently):

    Insurance Fraud: Backstab an enemy after they call for medic, while disguised as a medic.

    That's probably what FYI I am a Spy is, or whatever that one is called.

    No that one is for killing a medic who was healing you while you were disguised as a member of their team.

    Spy hate confirmed?

    Spy hate has always been confirmed.

    I don't know why I haven't heard anyone say this, but it looks like that spy has a fedora. Which is awesome.

    Only if he gets a combination umbrella/taser/grappling hook.

    I really, really hope that this is the update where they introduce a different way of unlocking weapons. I'm pretty decent at Sniper, so I'm pretty sure I could get a few achievements fairly quickly, but there is no way I'll be getting any of the Spy ones with any ease on the PA servers.

    I definitely won't be getting all the unlocks in a few hours like with the other classes.

    I'm the opposite, the spy achievements will come pretty quick for me, but damn do I ever suck with the sniper.

    My highest headshot total on one life is 4. Highest backstab total is like 27.

    I have under 3 hours on sniper. I just don't like the class all that much. The problem to me is other snipers. It's more fun trying to pick off heavies, medics, demos, pyros, etc as they try and attack. But I end up spending like 75% of my time trying to fight off other snipers.

    Whatever they do with the weapon unlocks I hope it's not going to take a long time. If it's like a 1% chance to drop per kill or some crap then it'll be even more annoying than the achievements for those of us who just got them in one night before(and equally grindable if you can still do it with bots).

    If you make the RED and BLU logos transperent and put them on top of each other you get the Black Mesa logo.

    I'm glad I've taken a fondness of spy enough in the past month for it to have moved itself to my #2 class spot now. I'm not too shitty at sniper, either. This will be a fun update.

    Although, think about how many games we are going to have that is going to pretty much consist of only spy/ sniper.

    The best thing about this update is I know i won't be playing spy and sniper exclusively.

    I'll be reverting back to my past loves of Heavy and Pyro to get their hats.

    Funny story (it's true; you can check Snopes) the origin of this phrase comes from a mispringing of the 1961 Webster's dictionary, in which "gullible" was one of a whole page of "g" words that was accidentally left out and a duplicated page printed in.

    It's extremely valuable to collectors since future printings were corrected.

    The update is supposed to be on Thursday and they have multiple non-map things left to reveal. So, unless they want to delay the update, today's info should have something of value.

    Luckily, assuming the Spy gets a revolver and knife unlock, Valve has no spare days to waste on community maps.

    Personally, I'm hoping for:

    Tuesday: Community Maps
    Wednesday: More Community Maps
    Thursday: Even more Community Maps. (With hats.)

    I don't really play Spy or Sniper any, so any of those unlocks are "dead" days for me.

    I don't think they're going to do literal drops. I think they're trying to avoid making it really open for abuse

    I think the way they are going to do it is by giving you items just for getting points or other things of value.

    Get 100 points, get an unlock.
    Cap 10 points, get an unlock.
    Kill mans, get unlock.

    I think hats may be a % drop thing.

    Well, isn't that pretty much achievements, just easier?

    Well it's not like there's quest NPC's you can talk to, telling you where to go get the hats.

    There's two options: achievements and random, and they already said they're moving away from achievements for item unlocks.
