Mostly technical mambo jumbo. Though the spread change could be interesting. Oh and no more fucking no self damage grenades.

The spread change means no more firing 4 times at the same sticky with a shotgun before it finally registers, which is nice. It also makes the spy revolver more deadly than before!

ps. also the being able to shoot during the reload animation makes spy pistol a LOT better now. The reload is very very quick, and you'll often do it while waiting for a clear shot. Spy is now an extremely consistent damage dealer with the pistol, which is good since backstabs can be very hit and miss.

Were those pyro changes really necessary? if you get too close to the water surface you deserve the damage and was bonked people getting taunt killed really that big of an issue? Just fix the damn fan and huntsmen already.

You mean you want to burn underwater objects, because that's what it fixed?

May have been an easy fix for the Bonk scout - so they did it for completeness sake.

Clarify "fix the damn fan and huntsmen already" statement.

Well the way I see it if you're running from a pyro and get in the water without diving, so you're still in his range it should still do damage, that way the pyro can at least try keeping you from going up for air which I like doing. If you're looking for a sensible way for it to work just imagine it's boiling the water or something.

As for the fan and huntsmen, fan doesn't knock you back, it kicks you upward and stuns you there for a moment, without the ability to airstrafe. This allows the scout to get a perfect shot on his second shell. At first I didn't mind that but with the grotesque damage buff the fan got last month this has become an absurd weapon.

The problem with hunstmen is that it makes your target's hitbox about 3 times bigger, so you no longer have to really aim to get your kills. Ramini phrased it best, "why use the rifle where I can fail?". Also the whole point of it was getting snipers closer to the front lines, but the messed up hitbox makes sitting in spawn and spamming arrows to the general direction of the enemy just as useful if not more.


EDIT: oh and I forgot, since the last update fan scouts can do jumps that were only available to soldiers and demos through self damage.

Rofl teh cake
Water beats fire. Fire can't beat water. what's to question there?
I agree with the FaN, its no knockback, it is some kind of stun, which instantly messes up all your movement and makes you very vulnerable. Nerf this thing to hell.
About the huntsman...I don't care much. Affects pub play mainly, haven't seen many snipers in pugs, and even less who use huntsman.

you have not seen huntsmen in match play because its banned...

I think we should probably make the distinction between "banned" and "not allowed yet as it was released during an ongoing season", all the spy sniper unlocks are likely to be in for the next season of everything I would have thought :> However the whining on the ETF2L forums still continues regarding the FAN with a vocal and seemingly sizeable minority in favour of a ban, what do people think about this? Personally I've never felt it was overpowered .. but apparently one of the arguments is that you can't possibly tell unless you play scout a lot in 6v6 Frown

Fixed a bug where full backpacks resulted in an item being repeatedly found each time the game is started
