TF2 Sniper Update

[fix-the-spade]

I might play again, is this for 360 too?

hahahaHAHAHAHAHAHA!


Eventually maybe possibly. Unfortunately Valve have to overcome everything from Microsoft's insistence players pay for everything as much as possible to the 360's limited hard drive space. Not to mention that as time passes they get progressively more to fit into the same sized space.

As for the update, the 1 second charge sounds awesome, although if the flight time's too slow I can't see it substituting the no-scoping sniper.

someone made a suggestion thread nigh indenticle on valve forums. pretty sure they 90% stole his idea.

its cool tho, will make playing TF2 more like PVK. I like the idea because often on sniper I want to get more into the action, which will be easier to do. I get bored just camping my own base on engineer/sniper classes.

So, whats the catch on the bow?

Not that it matters for me of coarse.

Well, at least you drudge back to your XBox instead of your PS3! That really does suck though, sounds pretty bad ass!

Could be huge arcing, slow fire and easy to spot arrow. Immobile while charging and holding an arrow in place. Less firepower.

 

[AlphaOmega]

That is awsome

I hope it doesn't arc like crazy. Or at least, it gets less arc-y as you charge it up. There's no scope on it, though, so headshots are gonna be a *****.

Stealing? Isn't this exactly what you would want if you posted a suggestion like this?

The lack of scoping that people traditionally associate with snipers could be part of it.

If it's a hunting bow, it shouldn't arc at all (or very very little) in medium-to-long ranges. To put an example. You could shoot from the bridge to the tunnel in Gold Rush and it would still be exactly like a bullet, only a little slower.

Best. Subheading. Ever.

Seconded. What could be better?

 

[Valkatron]

I hope he gets a can of Foster's as an item

But i have only ever known 1 person in Australia to actually drink Foster's.... Only 1!

I wonder what the secondary weapon will be?

I guess. Its nice but also anoying when devs do actually use your suggestion pretty exactly and dont even give any credit (its happened to me).

and aparently no one in australia drinks fosters.

 

[Christemo]

cool, now snipers can play Turok, just without dinosaurs and guns.

 

[DM.]

I do see him having a boomerang instead of the gun, but if i see a hookshot i'll lol.

 

[Phoenix Arrow]

That's the most awesome thing I've seen all week.

 

[McClaud]

I think the other, unlisted benefit is that there is no sniper dot.

I mean, that's a sure-fire way to know when a sniper is in play. Without the sniper dot, you'll never know for sure ...

Until an arrow is sticking at your unskilled butt.

 

[Lord George]

Mahaha all those snipers are just fresh backsides for ze spy.

Now, correct me if I'm wrong, but when someone posts a suggestion thread, they're trying to make the game better, not become famous, no?

I'm also assuming that the zoom feature that cuts off the sniper's peripheral field of vision (making them that more suseptable to spies) is gone. So it will be a fire and run weapon that allows the sniper to see what is going on around him while aiming.

Hey and dont forget, if you hit a spy and he cloaks, the arrow will still be there making him a pyro target
