Sniper Update Time of Release

[m3rryg0r0und]

I think that the sniper will be released around the same time as the L4D survival pack release date (April 21st). Now that L4D has be released and fixed a lot of bugs, I think the time before L4D where updates were ever 2 months are coming back. What do you think?

It could be on April 21st, but I'm not gonna hold Valve to it, knowing how slow they are with these things. I want them to take their time with the Sniper update, they're promising a lot with it. You can't rush perfection . (I do, however, want the update out before mid May).

OMG I can't wait. Sniper is my most played class. It's going to be interesting to see what they come up with.

Yeah, we're all gonna be talking about the good old days when we only had 5 snipers on a team


Also, I wonder about the first patch with the new content for everyone will come out.. supposed to be out before the sniper

 

[DRaGZ]

I'm guessing it'll come out...tomorrow?

Actually, the TF2 coding team probably wasn't hurt very much for L4D since they were entirely different teams. It was probably just that there were a lot of bugs that needed a lot of code fixing (such as rewritting a large chunk of the 360 code so they can fit the updates there).

April...

Do they think we're stupid?
they would never be able to get the new update out by then.
Jeez...

Way to close to today for them to release an update this fast.

 

[Candlejack]

Well.. there were some new sniper files that came with an update a while ago so maybe they've done parts of it already.

Not really. The Pyro update followed the Medic update by less than 2 months. The Heavy update was released exactly 2 months after the Pyro update. So, realistically, if they're back on track, it wouldn't be that odd to release at least one of the updates by the end of April.

Actually (hopefully) thats not true. All the classes are getting a revamp. I think Valve saw the problem with the scout update and tried to do something to deter the negative feedback.
