The recent spy/sniper update. Part 3.
Hello, and in this post, I would lke to start off by officially enrolling DivingSheep as a administrator. Well done DivingSheep. From now on we will do consecutive posts as in 1 day it’s me, and the other day it’s DivingSheep.
Ok, after that introduction, today we will talk about the “new revolver.” The Ambassador.
The ambassador has its ups and its downs. It has the same ammo count, as the normal revolver, and it shoots at a 15-20% slower than the default revolver. This is becuase it has a short “cooldown” time, which in my opinion is unnoticeable. A good thing about the ambassador is that it has the accuracy of a sniper rifle on every shot. However during “cooldown” periods, the weapon can fire, but will not be as accurate. “Aim” is very important if you want to use the ambassador.Headshots are instant crits. So get playing Counter Strike Source.
Damage
Point-Blank: 46-56
Medium Range: 31-37
Long Range: 15-19
Headshot Critical: 102

Bonjourno, Divingsheep here, giving my thoughts on the ambassador.
I’d like to start this by saying that i am not “good” at FPSes, I regularly find myself at the top of the leaderboard but not because of my amazing aim or skills as an FPS player. Most of my wins usually come down to the tactical prowess i have from playing RTSes all my life, from the original age of empires to the recently free to play Battleforge. In other words, if an enemy and I meet on equal footing I usually lose. Now that long winded explanation of my own supreme mediocracy is over, I shall talk about the ambassador. It sorta requires amazing aim and skills. This is, however, the same problem i have with the regular revolver. The requirement to aim is not the main problem I have with the ambasssador, the problem i have with it is that it doesn’t seem suited to the spy’s regular playstyle. Attacking from afar is a style already covered by the sniper. The one advantage I did see was that you could run backwards while shooting and headshot any chasing enemy which is helpful when trying to take an enemy down with you.
Overall, I think that it is worth a swap from the normal revolver but you will you find yourself not using it about as much as you usually wouldn’t.
Hey! Thanks for your comment on my blog. I’ve just read through your blog and wish to return your complement. It’s got some good info, particularly for people like me who really can’t play as a spy! XD
Anyway, good luck with this new blog!
