Doesn't need buffed, it's a sidegrade, not an upgrade. It has it's uses.

Noooooooo, now I dont want to use it anymore.

[SlashSpeed]

[QUOTE=Sharp_Shooter;25298418]If you remove a name do you get the the nametag back?[/QUOTE]
Yeah, that would be good to know. Also, for the paint.

[SoulChicken]

Fucking hell valve re-add the penetration, just restrict it so it wont pass through sentries.

[BaronVonFail]

Updates from the future?
I mean i went to go watch Back to the future in the cinemas today did i skip a day or something?

[Orkel]

[QUOTE=dragon1972;25298458]Doesn't need buffed, it's a sidegrade, not an upgrade. It has it's uses.[/QUOTE]

At the moment it's a downgrade, not a sidegrade. It only works against retarded teams and the silent kills aren't enough to make up for the huge downside that is lack of disguise.

[Smashman]

I Thought the Sydney sleeper thing was intentional. Interesting. No more random crits though. Aww.

[QuickSnapz]

Shitty fixes

[xpod1]

sleeper nerfs were silly and unneeded

At least the NO PENETRATION LOL was

[QUOTE]* Your Eternal Reward no longer disguises the Spy if they are carrying the flag.[/QUOTE]
That was fun fuck yall

[supertoaster]

Why would they remove the penetration (oh baby) from the Sydney Sleeper? It was luck based and AWESOME when you got it

[Simski]

Fuck... I need to see if they ruined my black brigade now D:

[NanoSquid]

Why isn't any weapon allowed to have fucking penetration? PENETRATION IS A COOL AND FUN FEATURE VALVE!

Give it back to the sleeper [B]and[/B] the ambassador!
