Retarded arguing about what requires skill or not - you guys are just making up on your post count are you?
Everything requires skill, to be most effective with the huntsman you need to time a shot a lot and have some good aim, same with rockets and pipe bombs, as the heavy you need a lot of skill, to fend off the spies and pyros, to defend your medic from the enemies.
Above post tells how it is.
Now I feel bad for switching to Sniper Rifle.
Taunt bit got me
[QUOTE=Lijitsu;22190469]I wish I had that kind of framerate...[/QUOTE]
Same here, man.. tired of 5-20 fps wit fps config..
It's fail that I didn't get any taunt kills :v:(I was the pyro btw)
It's because the sniper timed it when the teleporter got to 100%.
You just taunted randomly.
I sucked with huntsman, so I created the shiv.
But then I idle'd last night and found 2 shivs....
[QUOTE=Chekko;22190402]I am better with Huntsman than with scope.[/QUOTE]
Oh god this
And the teleporter part was hilarious...
Thank you for the inspiration. I'll go and shoot people with arrows.
I've never tried sniper at all really, never like defence. I might try the huntsman now
Atleast when he gets lots of kills assholes don't type "OMG HACKER" the suck up to an admin to perma ban you.

Usually when I play sniper with huntsman - a lot, people on my team thank me, many times I saved someone from a Pyros W+M1 rush or Demo charge or took out a medic about to be ubercharge ready or a scout running away with the intel, many different situations.
Somehow i do better kill taunts with the Pyro blast then huntsman or Heavy POW.
The reason why people are better with the hunstman is because of the way hitboxes work.
Normal hitscan boxes are small and confined to the limb.
Hitboxes for projectiles like Rockets, Flares, and Arrows are much larger for performance, ease of use, and calculation reasons. If you shot someone above their shoulders with the sniper rifle, they wouldn't get hit. If you shot them in the same place with the Huntsman, it would register as a Headshot.
I'm looking for a picture so I can demonstrate.

These are the hitboxes for normal hitscan weapons.

The red area you see is the hitbox for physical projectiles. (The yellow box is to be ignored.)
The difference is considerable.

Post this to Valve or something, they better fix this.

It doesn't need to be fixed, it's not a glitch. Valve made it this way on purpose. I personally think it's a fine system.

I feel bad for crafting my Huntsman for a Tribalman's shiv.
I wonder how long the taunt killing at the teleporter went on before the engineer destroyed it.

With my fps barely ticking over 10, it's my only hope
-Mastgrr number one-
[QUOTE=Teh Zip File;22208215]I wonder how long the taunt killing at the teleporter went on before the engineer destroyed it.[/QUOTE]
The teleporter wasn't destroyed, basically what happened was that their scout ran round, gambles panicked or something and went onto the teleporter, got telefragged by the pyro, and then the pyro killed me.
Really amazing skills, man.
I might start using the bow more often ;)
I crafted my only huntsman to get the Shiv.
Is there a way to craft a Huntsman?.

Yes, you'll need a scrap metal, a sniper token and a primary slot token.
...besides tokens?.

No. It's not a community weapon, you get it from milestones.
I tried using Huntsman on one of those balloon racing servers or whatever you call em
One time, I shot an arrow at the deck of the enemy boat thingy. 3 seconds passed and I headshotted someone. It was kind of satisfying.
