I knew it wasnt a fools joke xD
The Next Update Will Be For The Sniper
- Thread starter Beta
- Start date
My money is on a bunch of new voice lines for all the classes as this purported "new content". Specifically, more of those class-specific DOMINATIONS like those that were released with the scout update

I look forward to this with great anticipation

yeah they go for the least played or the least diverse so that the classes don't fall by the wayside. Hence 2 uber options with medic leading to more strategies, and air blast or backburner with the pyro making him be able to do more than charge with fire.
So yeah, I would have loved to see the soldier as one of the first, but enough people play as him and do well and are creative and benefit he team that Valve doesn't need to update them.
My guess for teh sniper rifle is either a semi auto that is less accurate and does less damage, or a rifle that does headshots only but they do 4x the damage, or don't need to charge.
How about a boomerang?

Sniper update and new maps...sounds like some kick ass high ground maps and big, flat areas to me!! The watch tower was supposed to be a sniper scout map..but what I've played it it was more for soldiers so now I really am waiting for some new sniper maps:w00t:
But knowing Valve it's going to be another lifetime until the pack comes out

Wow this new content for every class is going to be a pain in the rump trying to figure it out what it could be. Guess we will have to be patient and wait.
I hope they make more VALVE capture the flag maps and not conversions from control point to capture the flag because 2fort sniper battles are entertaining!

I thought they were going to make the updates on the lesser-played classes first.

According to stats on weapons (since I can't get class stats), the most kills in order are:
We've had Medic, Scout, Heavy and Pyro updates, which would leave:
And so they update the #2 killer? Guess we'll see a soldier and demo update before a spy or engineer update at this rate.

I agree. Soldier is the most balanced. I would have expected the Sniper to get updated later. but I'm also happy that it gets updated now.
oooh New content for ever class yeeey!! wonder what it will be plus i agee that snipers didnt realy need the big update They are kinda good V everything exept spies xD in my opinion and new maps i cant wait to get a looksee at them hope they look good and i hope the major update for the sniper is good but dosent make htem to good and the thing to make spies more visableish would be fun to have xD.

Honestly. I would go Spy, Demoman, Sniper, etc. if I were Valve.
Spy needs the most help atm. He's good if your an experienced, smart and patient player. But you have to be all 3 if you want to be good with Spy. They honestly need to make him more noob friendly...
Demoman could use some variety, which is why I think he should be next after Spy. He's stuck in a spam and destroy buildings mode. They could work on making him less spam happy and more open field liable for alt. weapons.
Sniper is the most broke out of what would be the remaining 3 (Sniper/Engy/Soldier). So he'd be after that. It'd be hard to change what a 'Sniper' does, by definition he's perfect as is. Weak at close range, but godly at long.
Engy would be next because he's not broke, but he could use some variety. I hope Valve thinks out of the box for this one, with guns and/or buildings. Not simply just "You can use this new pistol to repair from long distances".
Soldier. Most balanced class, should be last. There isn't much I'd change. Although I would like to see a new shovel. =P

i agree with everything you just said... even though i hate it.
But honestly i'd rather the soldier not even get an update (or anyone for that matter)
i was thinking about this the other day. If you have ever listened to the TF2 dev commentary, you'll relize why the weapons work the way they do, the orriginal tf2 weapons were all kinda "possible" in a way... they were made to look home made and junk. Obviously they weren't completely possible, but "plausible" maybe?
but every update adds some ridiclous weapon that doesn't make sense. Like the medics bluntauger? i love it sure, but how can shooting a needle at someone 70 feet away from you give YOU health?
yeah everyone who loves their class wants their class to get the update first... but honestly i'm scared of the soldier update. because I AM THE ROCKETMAN and i don't want them to screw up my baby
