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.

Well, they said they would release the equipment/hat update before the sniper one, right?

Yeah! New Sniper weapon. I'm going to be excited about it now, then stop caring one month after it's released as everyone starts agreeing that it's a totally sucky weapon and shouldn't be used.

Questions Answered! Take that, Speculation!!!

Can't hit a damn thing with the regular rifle unless it's standing still. If this is an arcing projectile weapon, my aim will be even worse, but the higher rate of fire should make up for it!

Looking forward to seeing Battle Snipers on the front.

SNIPERS! WHAT IS YOUR PROFESSION?

Mongrel · « **Reply #86 on:** May 13, 2009, 06:17:50 AM »

What's really going to bust this wide open is seeing what the replacement is for the SMG.

Zaratustra · « **Reply #87 on:** May 13, 2009, 06:19:24 AM »

I wonder if the arc changes depending on how charged the bow is

It could literally be a pea-shooter and it would probably be better.

Zaratustra · « **Reply #89 on:** May 13, 2009, 06:44:13 AM »

it will be a can of gasoline for the sniper to douse himself in and make the pyro's job easier

Kazz · « **Reply #90 on:** May 13, 2009, 07:00:57 AM »

I can honestly say that it could be the regular shotgun and I wouldn't be disappointed.

I believe the one second draw on the bow is the way it enforces the rate of fire.

RAZORBACK IS FUCKING RETARDED.

It probably replaces the SMG.

You're retarded.

I bet it also applies to other melee.

It's no weirder/situational than Bonk.

Anti-spy items.

Valve is answering the prayers of the Great Wrench. Even if not directly in the hands of the engineers.

Doom · « **Reply #95 on:** May 14, 2009, 01:19:47 PM »

Other Thought: It's a bloody shield. HP boost? Damage Reduction?

The idea of a 175 HP Bow Sniper gets more appealing by the day.

It looks like a cool thing to use the Q key with in any case.

Brentai · « **Reply #96 on:** May 14, 2009, 01:20:09 PM »

Hunh, a weapon that has absolutely no purpose other than punishing Spies for doing their jobs.

OKAY WHO LET MAX DECIDE ON THE OFFICIAL VALVE UNLOCKABLES?

Oh ha ha.

if it replaces the SMG, then his melee is fucked because he's now slower

also spies can just shoot him 3 times anyway.

(speaking of spies, does that revolver on the dead spy look a little odd to anyone else?)

Romosome · « **Reply #98 on:** May 14, 2009, 01:22:04 PM »

won't Spies just shoot the sniper point-blank in the back of the head now

Bow + Shield = Demo Speed, front-line combatant?

175 HP while waddling would make sense, give a ton of incentive to be on the front at all, and deal with the fact that body-shottin' at melee isn't the sort of thing you actively seek out.
