Excitement! I'm liking the huntsman so far, although I'm dubious about how often it will be used. seems anyone going sniper wants to use a sniper rifle, and if they wanted a mid range weapon they would go any other class.

I like the idea of the arrows staying embedded in you until you die and (provided the arrows glow team colour) could be a very effective spy targetting system. I think it would be good if the sniper, probably the least team orientated class, had a way like this to help the team out. could be especially good if coupled with the possibility of the jar-ate having some kind of spy catching mechanism

thoughts?

Yeah, I'm probably going to keep my rifle.

But I'll eat up anything they give me for the smg, anything'll be better than the smg.

Day 2

It's the new game mode we caught a glimpse of during the scout update! Looks like a lot of fun. Pretty much a double payload. seems from the snipers postcard that at a certain point, the carts will roll down a hill backwards immediately if not pushed, but I can't be sure. interesting!

Post by: Marlin Clock on May 14, 2009, 12:07:54 PM
Allright, new Arena maps.

However, even though I'm a sniper, it's really not that great to snipe in open arenas, it's just too little protection, thats why I never play it on watchtower.

Rain affects thing looks cool. I'll probably run into a sawblade just to see what its like.

I looked up adelaide st., there's only four of them, but there's a few red houses.

Quote from: Sniper Update "The Razorback"All the tribal craftsmanship in the world, it turns out, cannot stop a modern butter knife. So we taped a car battery to it. Sure, the added weight of the redesigned Razorback’ll slow you down a little. But any poor sap dumb enough to backstab you while you’re sporting one is getting a surprise to the tune of 10,000 volts. Plus, if they want to stab you again, they’ll have to wait until their knife cools down. Which is lucky for you, since the Razorback collapses into a million finely crafted pieces after a single stab.

Aww man, first i had to deal with the pyro's spychecking all the time and NOW i'm gonna have to deal with this aswell?

Why don't they go ahead and delete the spy while there at it too.

If it's the replacement of the smg, expect it to ruin your day every time.

If it's the replacement for the kukri, expect no one sensible to use it.

I already thought the sniper was pretty balanced despite his piss poor secondary weapon, the kukri made up for that.

I'm liking this idea because I didn't expect anything like it. I wanna know how visible this shield is gonna be to a spy. invisible so the spy just has to take his chances? or visible so that the spy has to asses the risk of stabbing but possibly dying? apart from swapping it for another one of your weapons, there isn't much downside for the sniper

also excited to hear if their really will be a spy update as well, because then I'm sure there will be a way for a spy to possibly but not entirely counter this shield. sounds funky

Dude, kukri is a better anti-spy deterrent when they throw out the pistol, which is what they'll do if they can't use the knife. If this replaces the kukri it replaces my #1 anti-spy weapon.
Title: It's that time again folks: The Sniper Update!
Post by: Steve on May 15, 2009, 03:14:28 PM
Definately'll be a Kukri replacer, since things like the Sandvich and Energy drink replaced the side arm, i'm sure Jarate will fill that too.

Eitherway, i'll stick to the Kukri 'N' GIV'EM THE OLD CHOP CHOP,

So wait, is it a double update, or are we getting no replacement for the shitty smg they stuck us with?

Also, if we're supposed to believe we killed the spy, will the decoy count as a kill when it gets brought out? Otherwise you'd be able to tell if the spy's really dead pretty quickly.

One thing I've noticed is that near your disguise icon where it says disguised as: soilder or whatever, it also says: disguise weapon. And the disguise weapon is randomized.

It could've been a server mod I guess, does anyone else see this?

The dead ringer is useful if you got an open area to run away in right afterwords.

It really only seems to work if you can sneak around the enemy without having to go invis. I've gotten some nice kills with it but I can't really get past certain points on some maps because it requires running past the enemy and they'll notice I'm not one of them.
It is p good for escaping too.

I like that it takes away the usual ability to cloak. I started playing spy properly last week when the spy update was revealed (what's the point in playing with new weapons if you suck?) and got the hang of cloaking, running behind enemy lines, disguised, stabbing/sapping and cloaking straight away for the getaway.

With the dead ringer, there's more challenge. I have to continuously act like the opposing team, and change my disguise almost every time I am seen, whereas before I may have cloaked and run away, I might run round a corner, disguise as someone else then run back.

Whereas previously I might get a few stabs in per life (being killed by any good pyro, as soon as he realised I'm there), now I can hold the DR until the exact moment I stab, meaning that if I am figured out, I can, in seconds, hide, re disguise, and come back. The enemy don't expect the same spy to respawn so quickly, and so spycheck less. If they do spycheck I can just do it all again.

In short: I love the Dead Ringer

They both fit in the SMG Slot.
I've only seen one sniper use the Razorback though, he pro'lly didn't have Jarate.
