TF2 Sniper Update

Castiel · May 12, 2009

It is upon us!

Any experienced sniper will tell you how irritating it is when your targets keep moving around. The question is how to stop these cheaters from wind-sprinting around like they own the place. And the answer is to pin them to a wall. How? With arrows!

"Now, hold on," you might be thinking. "I'm strong, but no one could throw an arrow that hard." Introducing the Huntsman longbow, which solves that age-old throwing problem.

"Now, hold on," you keep saying. "Aren't bows and arrows primitive and harmless?" Why don't you ask the dinosaurs? Except you can't, because the cavemen bow and arrowed them to death. One headshot from the Huntsman can mean an instant crit, in addition to a bolt-riddled corpse hanging from a wall that's gruesome and funny.

And even if you don't kill them, they'll carry around a certain arrow-shaped something as a living testament to your awesome archery skills and their frankly unawesome dodging skills. Comes with 18 arrows and a one-second charge for full power shots

Yep, here's the quote from one of the blog posts on there official site(www.teamfortress.com): ''The next class pack will focus on the Sniper. It's actually shaping up to be the largest TF2 update yet, with multiple new maps and a bunch of gameplay tweaks.''

MilkyWay · May 13, 2009

i dont think it fits with the character

a better one would be a hunting crossbow with a scope

oli_ramsay · May 13, 2009

As soon as the Huntsman was announced there was loads of people bitching about it in the TF2 forums about it being the next Sandman, so they updated their blog lol

?

Well this one should be big as they said multiple new maps and gameplay tweaks will be shown during the update. Maybe more like them 3 maps unlike the older updates.

ShadowFold · May 13, 2009

Heh, been on some weird pain pills for my fractured foot, I keep forgetting words lol

Error 404 · May 13, 2009

This is epic, I love TF2 (I've only just gotten into it), and I do archery, therefore I must try this.
