Past the update weekend though that only helps if the Sniper doesn't just keep doing what he's already doing with the default rifle.

Yeah, there better be a substantial bonus for making you push a 125 HP default-speed stickman into the thick of battle.

There's an idea. Lower range but higher HP.

That was fast.

This is better than everything I had imagined. Not only is it a great idea, but I can't wait for the bitching

Also, I can't wait for the comedy of someone with arrows stuck in sensitive locations.

EDIT: I just realized how brilliant this was, because there'll never be a scope for this.

also hilarious would be if hitting something on say....the 2fort battlements from the other side requires Leading a shot and compensating for drop

I like how they answered the question of "How are you going to balance an infinite-range one-shot hitscan weapon?" with "We're not even going to fucking try."

Oh hell yeah, I sure hope this aims and fires like the syringe gun/blutsauger.

Also, I wonder how close the victim has to be to a wall for the 'pin' thing to work?

OH!

Bonus points if the arrows make a "BUHDUNUNUNUNUNNNNnnnnnnn" noise when they pin someone to a wall.

Saturn · « **Reply #73 on:** May 12, 2009, 01:04:39 PM »

i'm thinking that the pinning people only happens if you kill them, because it would be the sandman minus the extremely limited ammo otherwise.

I don't know, this doesn't seem to stun. I would assume that the victim can always fire back (or continue firing) if pinned.

Eh, the page is long on funny but short of actual details & specs. I guess we'll see!

MadMAxJr · « **Reply #75 on:** May 12, 2009, 01:10:43 PM »

So I hope this means we'll get the update this weekend or next. I want to see a Heavy with an arrow sticking out of his skull as he continues to fight.

Yay! HL2's rebar-crossbow without a site!

Doom · « **Reply #77 on:** May 12, 2009, 01:11:50 PM »

It sounds more like it'll pin people to walls once they die and rag doll, but in practical use it's a no-scope, on the go front line support weapon.

The arrows lodge into targets, leaving the possibility of a debuff ripe and open.

Brentai · « **Reply #78 on:** May 12, 2009, 01:12:59 PM »

Actually the viability of noscope assault-Sniper does give the weapon something of a balancing advantage.

Whaddya know.

Bongo Bill · « **Reply #79 on:** May 12, 2009, 01:14:50 PM »

I was trying to decide whether I'd spend Sniper Hell Week playing as a Spy or a Sniper, and this is making the decision a bit easier.
