It's kind of funny how this video post is covered with TF2 spam now:

Good jobs, except you gave a bad link there... www.tf2.com or www.teamfortress.com are the ones you want to follow :P

assault rifle?

Oh and according to that blog, they need to take the spy out.

The weapon will be more close range according to the blog, so any type of long range rifle? I doubt it. Of course this means that I will be rewarded for my love of the smg and kukri.

Which brings us back to the Sniper Rifle unlockable. In an effort to reduce some of the aggravation that other players feel towards the Sniper, we chose the goal of designing an unlockable that encouraged the Sniper to get a little closer to his target. We want him to give up some of his primary advantage in return for something else, so that enemies he kills feel like they were engaged with them, and feel like they could have survived if they'd just managed to fight a little better.

I bet it will be a 1.5-2x scope and a semi-auto rifle that is weaker with a 5 shot magazine.
