Sniper Update
agrippa
ramini -> dont know enough about it yet tbh. will do the smart thing and wait and see when it comes out as opposed to (what alot of others seem to do) going onto the steam forums and typing a post in caps out.

If it dies when it gets stabbed once, thats not totally bad, as it will leave the sniper missing a weapon, but lets him chase after whoever just electricuted themselves. (but will the spy be able to swap to pistol to shoot the sniper, as the knife has to cool down, or is the spy stuck waving around a useless knife in the mean time?)

So many questions, not a lot of answers!!

Shield is not good idea imo. Some traps would be better. I mean those with wires, place them to the doorstep to detect cloaked/disguised spy Smile
 
Mike
A spy with any common sense would think, "Hang on, instead of stabbing him and getting shocked, I'll just shoot him instead."

I was really, really hoping they wouldn't give him an anti-spy weapon. This is how things get unbalanced, you shouldn't give a class something that protects them from their weakness, no matter what the trade-off.

Heeeey damn it . Somebody here knew about this shield way before it got announced ! So who`s working for valve step in front NAO Grin

Good point there Mike. Why shield against backstabs ? Sounds like they are out of ideas .
 
fefe
hmmm

Perhaps we will get a stealth spy update as well...

Someone on steam forums took the screenie before it changed back to normal, also the spys gun looks different on the screenie AND he has something yellow in his hand.

Or valve is trolling us bad.

Yeah I saw that too.. interesting.. although honestly I just think Valve finds all the speculation whenever they throw in any tiny hint hilarious so are now just messing with us compulsively Grin
 
agrippa
i really like the idea of being able to sap the new unlock and then stab but i cant see it happening. double payload still looks alot of fun.
 
spaceboy
Yeah being able to sap and stab the new unlock would be cool.. it'll still buy the sniper a little bit of leeway, especially if they're in a group... probably not worth much to them though if it worked that way.

Thats just the highlights on the glove, nothing actually in his hand.

Also, his gun doesn't look that different does it? Just the odd angle?
 
BiGFooT
I'm 100% sure he's holding something because it is pretty intensive for some shine or highlight. And the gun looks photoshoped there imo.

It will be a spy update disguised as a sniper update!
 
tomregev
That sounds crazy at first, but with valve it wouldn't surprise me.
