Sniper Update Coming For TF2



Medics, Pyros, Heavys and Scouts have had their turn at getting new toys from Valve's Team Fortress 2 workshop. Now everyone's favorite stunner shade sporting Australian, The Sniper, is up next.

Everyone else get to the back of the line - Valve's giving some class update love to this [http://www.teamfortress.com/post.php?id=2394] is a knife" moments in game. The update will come as part of what Valve is calling its largest TF2 patch yet, with "with multiple new maps and a bunch of gameplay tweaks."

Sorry Soldiers, Engineers, Spies and Demomen, but you'll have to wait another day to get upgrades to your arsenals. Actually I take that last part back, Demomen don't even deserve a sorry. Actually I take the entire thing back, as all classes will be getting some form of update love: before Valve releases the Sniper update, it'll put out another patch that will "include some new content for all classes."

As for the eternally ignored TF2 Xbox 360 player base, well, Valve's still working on getting all the new content to them. Apparently the hold up is being caused by the Xbox's memory limits. TF2 was pushing that limit from the beginning, and now Valve's wizards have to work extra hard to fit all the new stuff in on top of that. No estimate on when the new content will be released, but in the meantime they'll be putting out an update to address the server cheating going on.

Why are you even playing it on 360? How am I supposed to snipe you if you're not on the PC?

Anway, all my brain can think now is omgomgomgomgomg, I wonder what the sniper's new primary will be...

Also, what is perhaps a teaser as to a possible new weapon for the Sniper:

Then again, seeing as it was posted on the 1st of April, it may just be something to lead us on.

The fact that they're at least working on the Xbox 360 version is more than enough for me.
So very yes This.

Also, jarate, heh, wonder what that would do (if it's real, knowing valve, I wouldn't put it past them)
Though why is a RED spy saying that, shouldn't it be a BLU spy?

That would be hilarious, but there's already one paralyzing weapon in the game. I don't think they'd get it past censors either, can you imagine explaining it to PEGI?

Please give the consoletards a break, Valve. I love TF2, but it's just old with the same maps and cheaters.

Here's hoping for a stake gun/bow of sorts. Does not do lethal damage, but pins foes to walls.

Let's hope they don't mess this up like they did with the Scout Update. They turned the Scout into the unit that can take out anyone at close range, stun people, turn invincible, and capture the fastest...yea that's not quite right for balance issues.

I like the Sniper the most, the only thing I want is that they include a gun that doesn't calculate the damage based on the time you wait (what a stupid decision to begin with).
