Sounds scary in slow motion D:

Seems someone hasn't played it and gotten annoyed at all the backstabs cut short when the enemy moves forward a little bit. It got really old trying to backstab an engineer, having him move to the side and his sentry turns around and gets you before you can sap it.

@bombadecasa

So I'm not the only one to feel this way!

@IKnowWereYouSleep Thank god they fixed it huh? it's back to 180 rather than the 160 they changed it to.

@sibigato123 Same, I mean this one is definitely more efficient, but the old way just felt more legit. Like it had the wind up that made the kill more satisfying.

[sibigato123]

Idk why but i like the old one better

@chantakzee

In the old one, he lifts his knife and then stabs, in the new one he just stabs instantly.

I think it may have been done to reduce backstab delay, but who knows.

[DarkBonesDaku]

The new backstab is fugly. :(

[chantakzee]

Well can't see any special difference , anyone please tell ?

[bombadecasa]

@metalluigi625 well the spy is supposed to use his knife to backstab, not face/sidestab.
