I could also pretend the guns shoot candy.

Might be too many accidents of people keeping their mouths open.

What with jars of piss being thrown around and what not.

The funniest thing about this is how the Scout plays the girl.

I need to go reevaluate my life, try to figure out where I went wrong.

Once you're a member of this board it's already too late.

Sniper Changes

* Added new sniper rifle replacement, The Huntsman. Instead of a sniper rifle, you have a bow that allows you to move around faster while firing, and fire more quickly than the sniper rifle. Works better at medium range than the standard rifle
* Added new SMG replacement, Jarate. If thrown on an enemy they will take more damage for short period of time. Also extinguishes flames on yourself or allies
* Added new SMG replacement, The Razorback. Will protect you against a single spy backstab, and stun the spy for a short period of time. Comes with a 15% move speed penalty for the wearer
* Standard sniper rifle now shoots through friendly players
* Added 54 new Sniper voice lines
* Added 35 new Sniper achievements

guys

I .. I think I am in love with Archer.

Will I ever be Credit To Team again?

Don't like Jarate? Try something else.

Eww. Just. No.

No niku. No. At least, not while I'm around :3

To be fair, I played Archer basically all night long last night. I am a much better aim than I was during those feeble first steps, if still far far far from perfect. You can do some fun things with the subtle arc of even the fully charged arrow, like firing just over the crest of hills (which was helpful on some castle custom map I played on last night). Also, it's genuinely amazing for clearing out sentries if you can get a shot at the Engie or if he has gone even a short distance away.

i prefer the hookshot

Niku · « **Reply #231 on:** May 24, 2009, 09:35:04 AM »

god if he had the hookshot and could hang from ceilings it would be the best unlock ever

Bongo Bill · « **Reply #232 on:** May 24, 2009, 09:43:07 AM »

A grappling hook to get to unreachable locations would be pretty nice, but it would possibly unbalance every map and also it would virtually require having a Sniper on your time to take him out effectively.

Unless other classes also got a grappling hook! That would fit in well with a Spy's method, I think.

Scout triangle jump confirmed for next update.

JDigital · « **Reply #234 on:** May 24, 2009, 02:34:06 PM »

I picked up the bow. Why does it sometimes aim too high? Do range and charge time affect damage?

patito · « **Reply #235 on:** May 24, 2009, 02:57:13 PM »

If you hold it for too long it becomes pretty inaccurate, also shooting while moving too much.

Niku · « **Reply #236 on:** May 24, 2009, 07:47:35 PM »

Watch the Sniper's hand. When it starts to shake, he's lost control of the arrow. Hit alt fire to release your grip without firing off the arrow and wasting your ammo.

Kazz · « **Reply #237 on:** May 24, 2009, 09:38:02 PM »

I only played with the Huntsman for a short time, but I kind of think I hate it.

It's like the Flare Gun, which I love, but having the Flare Gun as your primary is rough business.

That said, I recognize that some people rule with it. Considering how often I end up doing a Steve Martin impression.

Zaratustra · « **Reply #238 on:** May 24, 2009, 09:45:21 PM »

I like it because I manage to actually hit things once in a while with the thing, as opposed to the sniper rifle where I'm more likely to be shot on the haid or backstabbed before I get anything.

Brentai · « **Reply #239 on:** May 24, 2009, 09:57:12 PM »

Yeah I can't fucking wait for the damnded thing to drop. Throwing piss grenades at people is awesome and stupidly effective but once it comes time to shoot a dude I have to fucking stand in the middle of a warzone and carefully aim. Even if it were inaccurate if I had a weapon I could actually use I might actually, like, play Sniper.
