GOD YES FINALLY, I KNEW THEY WERE SHITTING US WITH THE SNIPER UPDATE.
although it seems as though the sniper is still getting the game-breaking bow...

Lmao, they're probably doing both at the same time.

Sure hope that the "Dead Ringer" produces a fake death report too, otherwise people will just always look at the scoreboard to confirm their kill :/

Hell I do that already just to see who I raped :p

GOD YES FINALLY, I KNEW THEY WERE SHITTING US WITH THE SNIPER UPDATE.
although it seems as though the sniper is still getting the game-breaking bow...Game breaking? The sniper is trading in a hitscan headshot machine for a projectile weapon that pins people to walls.

People and snipers... I swear, if the Sniper came with the Huntsman first and was getting the Sniper Rifle in the update (what sense it [doesn't] make isn't the point), people would be bitching about the rifle.

I always thought they'd eventually pull off two class updates at once, after they had gotten the framework properly constructed. Well played, TF2, well played.

Slower ROF, pinpoint accuracy. Not sure about damage though.

While the revolver is accurate, shots from battlement to battlement on 2fort aren't guaranteed hits. This will give the spy a little more power at range, like hanging back and picking off enemies while they're preoccupied.

It's probably just one of those "Some Walmarts have it, and some don't" kind of things.

Anyways after this free weekend, I will probably just buy a $50 card, and use it for other things too if I need it.

The main point of being sniper is to take out key targets to make it easier for the rest of your team. A medic with an uber ready can be very dangerous.

What? It's most likely an achievement unlocked when killing a Medic with 100% charge with the Huntsman.

Remember: the Huntsman only pins dead/barely alive players to walls. Not everyone. Think of the HL2 crossbow, but with a little less instant kill.

You now find new and old items as you play, instead of through achievements

Meaning you have a random chance (and a very small one at that) to suddenly find that you've acquired a new weapon. More accurately, you've acquired an unlock weapon; even if you're already unlocked it previously, you may end up getting it again. And again.

Stupid system imho; can't report on the new weapons because I can't get them.

What the hell was Valve thinking with the unlocking system? I know this is to stop boosting, but this is not the system I had in mind.

Word of Whorecraft, in my VALVE?
it's more likely then you'd think.

The new system is glitched and bugged if ya read that blog by valve and it's supposed to work on random regular rewards.
When people find multiple items it can be used to barter for other things. such as the hats. I dont think all thats in place at the moment so it's annoying as hell.

i prefer the old system, smash some achievements by playing the game and your rewarded for it, who cares if people will exploit it and get the achievements first.
they arnt that difficult to get.

The Ambassador looks pretty cool, but it doesn't fit in with TF2 at all. It's the worst piece of shit I've ever seen also. Weaker than the regular revolver, and only accurate the first fucking shot, which, even with a headshot, does less than the stock revolver.

However, PLR is awesome.

The game rolls at regular intervals to see if you can find a new item. Apparently it's abusable to the point where someone could theoretically spectate a server 24/7 and get stuff.

Yeah, I'm thinking about joining and achievement idle sever and leaving it on for 8-12 hrs. over night =P.

I don't like though how I have seen on tf2 forums of how valve is thinking of making tf2 into a more RPG like game.

It's not really WoWish, it's less MMO and more TCG. I think the reason it's gotten that title because you have to grind toward getting what you want. The reason I say TCG over MMO is not just because of the trading system, but because MMO grinding at least has specific goals to each grind. In this case, you're just spending more and more time hoping to get what you want (if anything at all) through a grab-bag.

Achievement rewarding really ought to return. Sure, some of them were really hard, but I think tweaking that system a bit would be much better than this. In fact, I'll even implement those stupid hats in my idea:
25%: Item 1
50%: Item 2
75%: Item 3
100%: Stupid hat. Grats, fatass
This way, most people could get the items that actually matter without having to do the ungodly boosty-grindies (i.e. Kill Everyone You Meet).

Quick edit for another thought: With duplicates, this would mean that item farming would be possible. So I guess it is an MMO in that sense. But my question is why bother with duplicates? Was it really hard to add an
if (player.hasItem(newItem))
newItem = getNewItem(); //This or a loop, I don't give a shit?

ok, so last night I played demo for 2 1/2 hours (my least played class) and got nothing. Not even dupes. Today I played medic (second most played class) and, in the space of 1 hour, got the razorback, sandvich and the Bonk! energy drink.

Makes me think that the longer you've played a certain class the better chance you've got.
