Sniper Update Time of Release

[Lance]

If it's like the scout update, they have anything planned then if enough people complain after it's released they'll change things.

 

[Justice Scalia]

ugh I hate playing sniper. Oh great, we're gonna get like 10 snipers per side now.

Yeah, that's definitely gonna be an annoying feature of the update.

 

[PureBlood]

i doubt it will come that soon

Jarate!

Christ I hate that...my hatred for some specific things valve creates in their updates will increase by tenfolds if they actually think of making that and replacing the machete. I pray it was only an April fools joke....please, god.

As for the update itself, I can't wait. Sniper is my most played class. :]

 

[duvel]

For the update I hope they do something to help snipers move up to make shots closer to the front of the line. Offensive sniping is an underused concept, and would probably be a lot of fun with some new tools.

I'm not exactly sure what the all-class update could be, though. Aren't they supposed to release a new game mode soon?

 

[Cut Chem!st]

Valve usually dosen't start talking about it if they are that far from release, so maybe middle of may?

Then again it is on Valve Time http://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/Valve_Time

*disguises as sniper and waits in the shadows*

ha, yeah. I'm mostly looking forward to racking up some backstabs. Maybe I'll finally beat my record

 

[Captain Ashton]

All I can think of now is 2fort with 10 snipers on both the battlements >.<

 

[Dan2025]

My guess is next September to October.

 

[Gryphon Osiris]

Time to break out those ski masks and butterfly knives lads and lasses, we're goin' hunting!

I just hope that the don't make a weapon out of his 'bladder relief' jars. I know that the game is so wrong on so many levels some time, but that nearly crosses the line into the realm of Postal 2.

I agree with Omni...

I love playing Sniper, but I only play when it's a max of 1 other sniper - which isn't too often.

I like to be conscious of the team class structure because I think it plays a large part in how your team does.

Especially on Dustbowl.

Double edged sword right here.

Same with every other update. For a week or two the class balance is thrown into chaos as 95% of people play the updated class on the day of release, and then that percentage slowly wanes down to the normal number.

My personal solution that has saved me from the horrors of playing as the overpopulated class during these stressful times: Go on an achievement server with me and my best friend, no one else (private server). Grind all the two-man achievements, which thus far has been enough to get every weapon from every class update. The achievements that require more than two people to do are so few that they don't matter.

Now that you have all the new weapons, go in public servers, show off your toys, maybe play with them a bit until you get frustrated at the overpopulation of your class, then go to a counter-class. Spy would be good in this case, also scout if you're on a map that allows you to avoid most sniper fire, be nimble and get up the face of the snipers.



Imagine: The sirens blare on dustbowl, the gates open...no one comes out, no one rushes in. All you see is just a slow march of snipers, scoped in, looking for targets on the horizon. lolz.

I'm SO gonna play heavy as long as there are so many snipers! Most of them either play their little sniper wars game or suck so much they can't even kill a heavy. It's gonna be hilarious!

[Medichunter]

I'm gonna be the scout on their team running infront of their scopes =D

 

[Mystery Penguin]

I think all the Good snipers should just do something else while all the bad snipers play

just get our stuff through LAN games/achievement servers (no wait scratch out the achievement servers...)
