Apparently it should be here pretty soon.

Also

The Sniper update is set to include three unlockable weapons for the class, new head-slot items for each class, and new achievements and maps

The new head-items are coming with this patch, not before

they probably didn't have time to release another update before the sniper one, so they just packed the "hats" with the sniper update

 

[!Woodstock!]

Woo, hats.

Yeah, they only have like 10 people on the tf2 team.

For some reason I get a mental image of 10 people with eyes half open with a 2fort built out of pizza boxes.

I want a cowboy hat or a fedora. Or a cowboy fedora.

Yay, we get to play dollhouse dress up soon!

I'm still trying to figure out what the advantage or differences of the Huntsman are. Obviously it's not going to just be the visual aspect of sticking someone to the wall after they're dead.

Close up, short recharge -- easier to kill close up enemies

It seems to have a faster charge time, and it probably also has a wider field of vision, considering there is no scope.

Yeah, regular Sniper Rifle takes 4 seconds to fully charge. The bow takes only one.

seriously I can't wait to use those hats, you will see an enemy and you will be like " oh noes it's that guy! run! " " this guy is really good, I need to kill him! " etc....

If not everybody use them that is....

 

[Retribution]

when are they going to release the other new weapons??

 

[ChaosCat]

AT LEAST WITH ALL THESE SNIPERS AROUND , ILL BE ABLE TO GO TAUNT KILL AFEW WITH MY SANDMAN

opps . caps on

 

[Jugg]

this "shot range" bow might mean more "offensive" snipers out there....:huh: i wonder if you have to stand still to release a fully charged shot...i mean it makes sense that it would be harder to shot a bow and arrow while strafing...idk..should be interesting tho!!

 

[Lance]

I'm guessing they'll post an update every day, usually they post within the next few hours or so (I'm in US central time, 5:46 right now). (responding to retribution)

My *exclusive* MOP Pink Hat will simply destroy all noobs in my way.

 

[ubersauce]

Well we can get all sorts of hats, I'm sure fpsbanana will have skins for them once they're out.

Beat me to it!

But I think that's about what everyone predicted anyway. I should be almost done with school for the year about then, perfect
