It says it recharges in 1 second compared to the rifle's 5 seconds so it'll redraw another arrow instantly, or in less than 1 second.

It says it CHARGES in one second. Not reload.

USELESS!

It doesn't say it doesn't slow people. All it says is it doesn't stun. There are lots of good things that don't stun. In fact, the only thing that does stun is the sandman baseball and that can't possibly the only non-useless thing in the game.

You can't logically have something charge up before its even ready to go off.

Hardly. I see this as being more of an effort to get the Sniper to play more of support role as opposed to headshotting people just to get his k/d ration up. By pinning someone to a wall, this makes them easy targets for fellow Heavies, Pyros or spies, which could potentially wreak havoc on an enemy disabled for even a second.

Also would leave scouts in rather sticky situations if they can't move anywhere without being pinned by arrows.

Also, the arrow thing VenomKing mentioned in relatioon to spies is a good point. This could potentially make spies a lot more wary of approaching snipers, should they lay an arrow into him, and make his cloak useless until they die.

The arrows only pin dead enemies to the wall.

Needs a boomerrang >>

I'm also guessing they're going to color the arrows, according to your team color. Otherwise, the spy in question could just be one of your team mates with an arrow stuck in him, etc. I don't know; this is going to be an awesome update.

That can grab items from afar.

It's like I'm really playing Zelda.

It should be able to steal heavy's sandvichs too.

I was expecting a scoped crossbow, but essentially I guessed exactly right. Woot intuition!

Hence the word "almost."

Damn, I really need a job so I can finally build my gaming PC; I've wanted to play this game for a long time.

Anyway, the bow and arrow looks like it will a cool addition to the game.

So this is basically a Natascha for Snipers? Pretty cool, more eager to see what their other upgrades will be. Can their melee weapon be anything other than a boomerang or didjeridoo? WILL THE LAW OF STEREOTYPES ALLOW IT?

How is it a natasha for snipers ?

It's only a bow, with no scope that charges faster.

And that also pins enemies to wall when they are killed.

And leave arrows on them.

But if a spy is shot and goes invisible, will the arrow stay visible ?

Yeah I think so. Making it yet ANOTHER spycheck weapon.
Also, congrats on getting banned on the Steam forums, I lol'd, at all the other banned people too :D

srsly did any of your read it?it does damgae to them for the rest of their life or until they go to a reload locker because theirs an arrow stuck in them,if you kill them near a wall they stick to the wall it charges faster holds less ammo and has a higher crit chance.jeez

Only the charges faster, sticks dead people to walls, and less ammo is true.

We have absolutely no confirmation on "does perma-damage" or "higher crit chance"

Jeez.

Fucking steam mods that think stating your opinion is trolling/flamebaiting.

UPDATE

Gladitorial Cart Combat, two new Arena maps, and a hilarious letter to the Sniper's mum.

He's a doctor now :D

I don't like playing Arena, but those maps look bloody awesome!

Rain effects, spinning saws and a Doomsday device.

And Pipeline is based at night.

Dizzy spells!

I'm really looking forward to Sawmill, I think the storm and rain will create a great atmosphere not yet experienced in TF2.

So much stuff for one update, condense to pictorial form.

He is a brain surgeon. His utensils are just painful bullets.

He pioneered the long distance lobotomy!

3 awesome maps.

The double payload, awesome in itself, but it also looks so much better than it did during the scout update, it's during the night, there is fog.

Now you got this other map with rain and clouds, shit just got atmospheric.

And the last one wich is quite very futuristic in some kind of way, so every new map is different and it's really refreshing.

I'm loving the new updates here. Two new maps I can't wait to try out and most especially, the payload race. I love the payload maps we have already and having a payload race is something I gotta see as soon as the update is released. The use of weather effects is also interesting.

that has got to be about the best thing ever to turn up in FPS
shame its on TF2 :-/

WHat exactly ?

How come ? TF2 is the best FPS out there.

Things just got harder for the spy D:

The Razorback has got to be the stupidest thing ever. Now we have Snipers that are completely immor-

Oh wait, it shatters into pieces when backstabbed. Never mind.

http://www.teamfortress.com/sniperupdate /

Stupidest fucking idea ever.

Just leave it up to Valve to completely destroy spy-sniper balance by making the sniper basically immune to backstabs.

FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFUUU UUUCK

IT'S THE ONLY TIME I WAS EVER MAD AT AN UPDATE

HOLY FUCKING SHIT

WHAT'S NEXT ? A HELMET FOR HEAVIES SO THEY DONT GET HEADSHOTTED ?

Seriously this is the biggest bullshit ever. One of my favorite things in this game was to backstab snipers.

Fuck you Valve.

What the hell? Razorback?
Great, that's like removing a one component from rock paper scissors.

Though I am a little pissed to see I won't be backstabbing as many Snipers from now on, I think this might be an excellent chance to introduce the cocky shits to my friend, the Revolver.
