Breaking Update News: Sniper Update Info!
- Thread starter drp
- Start date
So pumped for the update, and from my last email from Robin Walker, that I'm going to make a second TF2 Crossword, better than the last. Only problem is that I have less content to work with since a lot was covered in the last one.

Also note the severe lack of scope

Yeah, that are good assumptions. But I'm not sure if the bow gets a pushback effect. Sounds over the top.
My guess is that the Sniper can fully charge his shot and move with the charged shot at expense of his movement speed. Slow, but still faster than being scoped, though.

I'll bet that's what we get for a few days, before Valve fixes it. Just like the overheal visualizer.

Turns out that the new, darker sky is actually a bunch of snipers spamming into the air. Dang, now we'll never know what map it is!
(Kidding, of course)
If the arrows show up in cloaked spies, you'd still have to look for a bit to notice the arrow...
Arrows could just be a sniper counter to spies? You could fire an arrow at him from far away and remember that he has an arrow in him, then you wouldn't have to machete everyone around you, just people with arrows in them.

Map in the background looks interesting. Though we may not get it, as with the dual payload map from the scout update.
It's worded as though it doesn't stun, just headshots/kills will pin ragdolls to the nearest wall for comedic effect.

two main things Im wondering about...
the obsession with the sky...is there another pic somewhere? as the picture in the background of the sniper page is just a blurry blue...nothing to get really excited about
and the possibility of another weapon with knockback, already I miss the ability to melee scouts...
EDIT: that "there is no stun" update to the blog is hilarious

MrAlBobo:
The fact that it's dark is exciting. It's not a typical TF2 light blue sky in the desert. It's DARK! And it's ALPINE! And it's (hopefully?) not arena.
<3 lack of stun.

Airblast, bonk, Natascha. TF2 doesn't need any more weapons that reduce player mobility. Agreed.
I'm dissapointed in the bow as a weapon idea. I had presumed this idea would be considered but figured that the novelty was short lived and those who'd like that sort of thing play HL-Deathmatch and shoot each other with toilets.
I would have like something slightly more creative. It'll add a new twist to TF2's feel. I'm yet to be sold.
