Sniper Update Coming For TF2

[fix-the-spade]

I don't know how you guys do it. I use my mouse at a pretty low sens (1.9 at 800dpi) and I still over compensate even when trying to hit a still target! I'm too twitchy to begin with, and you're telling me to take MORE DRUGS to get the job done???

As your attorney, I advise you to share whatever this magical Lucozade is with me.

Use it responsibly, or terrible things will happen...
Actually it might not be available in the US, lots of brands that are 'everywhere' in Europe seem to be absent from your continent.

1.9, that's pretty low. I generally have it set to between 15.5 and 18 depending on the game amd at 1200dpi. A lifetime's worth of Quake will do that to you though...

Oh, it sounds rather similar to Gatorade (except much more potent, plus having alcohol in it).
But yea, I've always been a lower sens player, starting at default and slowly working my way down over the years. Well, here's an experiment - I'll try playing between 10 and 20 for a little while tonight and see if I can even get used to it!

Well, thanks for standing still, wanker.

It's definately more potent than Gatorade, but it's unlikely to get you drunk...

Ohmanohmanohmanohmanohman.
I am actually looking forward to this update, wonder what kinda fun shiz they will add, hopefully the sniper will have the ability to defend itself at least partially at close quarters.

 

[Lawnmooer]

i really hope that they introduce a sniper that can penetrate people.... soo many times have i had a perfect shot on an enemy sniper then have a retarded friendly scout jump infront of me just as i click to shoot and then get sniped right after....

 

[The_root_of_all_evil]

Oh and I had to put this one in.

 

[painfull2006]

At the moment i think that the sniper is one of the most annoying classes, you can be on a huge role and then out of nowhere like a mile away, not even a head shot just a sniper charging his gun kills you

I hope they give him weapons that set the sniper back, like no charged shot but instead you get two shots at the head shot instead of one instant kill body shot or foot shot... or little toe shot...

 

[Sevre]

I can't wait for this update, unfortunately I'm more interested in the Demoman one.

 

[yosophat]

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

Its like you have ESP Or WORK FOR VALVE except for the non lethal Damage

 

[yosophat]

Those three previous dates are Fishy.

3rd update is out, next weapon revealed: the Razorback

http://www.teamfortress.com/sniperupdate/

It's a tribal shield that'll protect you from backstabs (once, then it breaks) at the cost of your SMG. This'll be interesting: getting guarenteed backstab protection at the cost of your main anti-spy weapon.

 

[Onyx Oblivion]

Give us an update that lets Engineers play as a turret already. That'd be fun.

4th update is out, and its a shocker!!

not the sniper update... [http://www.teamfortress.com/spyupdate/english.htm]

 

[guardian001]

Hooray conspiracy! And the conspiracy nuts being right for once! Now if only most of my deaths weren't from spies, this would be awesome...

 

[Arcane Azmadi]

They suckered us! Damn them!

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! This is awesome!

 

[Chadling]

I am confused. Are they doing two updates at once, or....

Well, I don't know. Something else?

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.

I asked an artist from Valve (at a comic con) if this was true, he said he couldn't tell me because it would spoil the suprise. I don't know if this is good or not.

Spies were always the N.1 enemy of Snipers so its at the same time is a TF2 joke and a way for Spies to counter the new tribal shield, without needing to wait a year for it.(that pocket watch that fakes death.)

 

[WolfLordAndy]

Yup 2 updates at once, and looks like the Meet The Spy has been leeked!
