The Next Update Will Be For The Sniper

[Beta]

No, this is not about the April fools joke they did on urine, that really pissed me off.

So, with the news of another class update, we can also expect an update that will contain new content for every class

 

[spoolinEvolution]

Awesome they are adding some new maps

 

[westside]

sniper update should be good, i wonder what major changes will be in the patch before the sniper patch

 

[Neurofo]

I honestly don't believe that urine will be the sniper's achievement unlock...although if it makes spy's decloack(or close to it...more visible)...cuz they smell like pee, then i wouldn't mind it too much...but then again, how are you gonna see a spy invisible anyway.

^ It's not that was obviously a April Fools joke

 

[gotrice]

we have a thread like this but anyways yay!

 

[spoolinEvolution]

Just read the new blog post on their site, and I'm really looking forward to this update. I'm especially glad to hear that this will be the largest TF2 update yet--can't wait to see what great new maps are released with it, as well as new game modes (maybe). I'm also curious about the next 'patch' that will add content to all 9 classes.

This'll be awesome.

I'm indifferent on the Sniper update. I've spent so much time playing sniper, I don't want the new updates to really change the way the class is played. But I trust Valve.

With all the movement decreasing effects, I hope the sniper gets something to increase other people's speed.

 

[Cut Chem!st]

Awesome, no idea what they're going to add. I'm not sure i'll be up to using them but I wont shoot it down till I see it.

Also I wonder what this "new" content for all the classes is gonna be

 

[Rellik]

ftlog WHERE IS MY SOLDIER UPDATE!?!??!?!

 

[spoolinEvolution]

^ It's coming with the sniper update!

 

[KiraGami]

there adding stuff for the other classes as well so I'm happy, and if they releash the pack like last ones it should be out this month.

I had a feeling the sniper April Fool's Joke was a hint that the next class was the Aussie. Anyway, I think that one definite possibility for the sniper's new main weapon will be a Dragunov SVD style rifle; as with most other games, you'll compromise power with the SVD, but you'll be able to fire semi-automatically and not scope out between shots. Headshots may still incur a damage bonus, but depending on the rifle's base damage, they may not even be enough to take down some classes. I'd imagine it being like 30-ish damage per shot non-crit, around 100-150 per crit/headshot.

As for the secondary and melee weapon...phew, anyone's guess on that. Just throwing out my sniper theory now so that if I'm right I can tell everyone I told you so!

 

[VoiDeD]

That is all.

 

[Properly Basic]

heavy, scout, sniper my 3 least played. But hope does spring with new maps and new content for everyone! I'm kinda scratching my head on that one. It certainly won't be grenades or anything huge like that. But it is significant enough to mention.

Can't wait though. Spy is going to be loads of fun for a week in the not too distant future

 

[spoolinEvolution]

Yeah I'm just glad they are updating all at once so not everyone will rush out and play the same class.

 

[Cullmann]

Can't Wait. I would like to see all the updates. and it say taht they are also releaseing some sort of character bonuses
