I hope the Booties are gunboats-style boots.

That would be awesome. I seriously hope they do updates like that again, instead of just releasing them all at once with just a blog post.

There are days I wish the demoman would have a hitscan weapon as an unlock for his grenade launcher

Which would completely remove the demo aspect, but hey, food for thought.
Who wouldn't want a demoknight with a hitscan weapon

Is it bad that I have no idea what a hitscan weapon is?

[oldage]

[QUOTE=The Calzone;29781177]Is it bad that I have no idea what a hitscan weapon is?[/QUOTE]

a weapon that instantly hits your target without any travel time whatsoever

I think

[Bragdras]

[QUOTE=The Calzone;29781177]Is it bad that I have no idea what a hitscan weapon is?[/QUOTE]

Oh, hum, apologize, hitscan weapons are non-projectile based (shotgun, you shoot, it hits instantly, there's no bullet traveltime like rocket launcher, etc)

The good pal above me got it right before I wrote that. :)

Demo's are finally getting a counter besides the Scout's.

Soldiers can easily be countered by Pyro's, Scouts, and Demo's.

If they add a rifle for the sniper that has no scope....I swear to fucking god I'll rage. That shit will ruin the sniper class, people will just use that rifle. It ruins the point of being a "sniper"

Are you sure it's a scopeless rifle? There's one in the most recent comic that looks like what you said, but I'm pretty sure it has a tiny scope

[[GRiM]]

[QUOTE=Jorori;29784050]Are you sure it's a scopeless rifle? I'm pretty sure it has a tiny scope[/QUOTE]

No, it said "laser sight" so basically it's like a CoD sight from the looks of it.

The creator told me he made the scope so it would work with the existing scope zoom texture.

so I think it has a scope.

But the Bazaar Bargain has a scope.

Plus you don't need a scope to be a sniper, just look at [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simo_H%C3%A4yh%C3%A4] the white death for example.[/url]

True, but I can see the weapon being majorly OP.

[QUOTE=Pie_Tony;29784085]The creator told me he made the scope so it would work with the existing scope zoom texture.

Oh thank god. I might try to craft the rifle when it comes out in that case.

The White Death was hacking.

He scored 505 headshots, took a fully-charged shot to the face and didn't die.

He should be VAC banned.

They already scrapped the idea of a rifle like that (Walkabout), so I don't think they're gonna do that. Also, Sniper's body is covering half of the rifle:

If that rifle is a hint of a new item, I'm sure that Sniper's body could be covering the big scope

Like Huntsman didn't do that already.
And the Sydney Sleeper basically did so aswell. It takes the "precise work from distance" aspect of the sniper by rewarding you for bodyshots.

[CharlesMan]

Looks like the default rifle to me.

I think my point was why make it worse?

[Jorori]

[QUOTE=CharlesMan;29784423]Looks like the default rifle to me.[/QUOTE]

In the colored version of the comic it doesn't seem to have the big normal scope of the Sniper rifle mounted:

[img]http://horobox.co.uk/u/jorori_1305248892.png[/img]

maybe he just took it out for a moment v:v:v

[DatWut?]

[QUOTE='[GRiM];29784489']I think my point was why make it worse?[/QUOTE]I don't see how it could get worse.

[BanthaFodder]

so, does anyone know if the new weapons will be numbered?
if so... well, I may end up with a numbered Tommslav on day 1 in an attempt to get a numbered Capone's Capper... in the event something like this happens, what do you think I should do?
numbered weapon>numbered hat, or numbered hat>numbered weapon?

tbh, I actually like the Sleeper... I'm a HORRIBLE Sniper, and the Sleeper at least lets me be kredit to teem without having to rack up nothing but headshots. it kicks total ass on Payload maps though. everyone crowds the cart, just fire into the swarm of enemies, you'll hit someone, then they'll either:
A. die instantly
or
B. get hit by a stray grenade/rocket/bullet/other projectile and die instantly.
from what I've seen, people RARELY walk away intact after getting shot up with some concentrated Australin urine.

That's the problem. Don't be a sniper if you suck at it. You can be credit to team as another class.

Anyone who disagrees please tell me why. I mean it's logic.

So, just for clarification, there is an update with actual content today, right? Around ten-ish EST?
