Woah, using the gear from the Sniper's update (Huntsman, Jarate and the Shiv) turns me into an arrow-into-your-head god. Seriously, on the mid point on badlands, an enemy scout was jumping around like crazy. I popped an arrow into the air and BANG, dead scoot.

I'm also getting better at Scout as well. On Hightower, I helped my team push our payload up the first hill like a boss. Most of this was hiding behind it, but still... anyway, we got it to the lift, but were having some difficulties getting it up. By that time, the enemy had their payload on the lift, and we were at a stalemate. Then, as if divine intervention hit, I was autoballanced on to the opposing side. Some snipes, turrets and demomen later, me and an Engineer pulled the payload to the top. It was amazing.

On the subject of random stories and huntsman: I am a huntsman sniping god. Last night I was on doublecross, a scout (who was dominating me) ran down the stairs outside my base. I followed him and he was running under the bridge back towards his side. I shot an arrow from the stairs, through the gaps in the underside of the bridge, and pinned him by his head to his sewer entrance. I squee'd.

I don't think I've used the rifle since I got the huntsman. Arrow kills are just so much more satisfying.

You do know the huntsman has messed up hit boxes right?

They fixed that a while ago.

Let them

Personally I went back to the rifle, and been playing sniper for a bit when the map and the team allows it. I'm getting better at headshots, but often don't have the patience to let it charge up. It's more satisfying to mow down your foes as a heavy, though, in terms of kills per minute.

They did? Well I still hate it.

Yeah. It takes some skill to use effectively now.

Of course, the Huntspam complaint is still a valid one, but that can be said about the demoman and soldier as well.

[Shadowlord]

It would be awesome to have a team composed of 8 huntsman archers, who stand in a row and fill the air with arrows, killing anyone who tries to approach. Alas for the class limit, and lack of coordination, and everyone else apparently thinking this wouldn't be awesome.

[Bdthemag]

You know what would be awesome, a musket for the soldier as a secondary.

[PTTG??]

Motion seconded.

I move to ammend that said musket be named the "minuteman" and, like the missile, uses radioactive ammo for special effect.

[dragonshardz]

Motion has been proposed and seconded. All in favor?

AYE!

This reminds me: Mount & Blade: Fire and sword (or whatever) got TF2 hats on preordering. ... Muskets would be pretty sweet too though.

edit: Muskets and blunderbusses.

Crossposted from the Steam Sales thread:

If you're a lover of TF2 hats, buying the complete pack seems to not give the hats to you. People have gotten them instantly by preordering alone. I and others who bought the complete pack haven't received squat despite actually preordering the game.

Meh. The missing hats don't bother me. It's not receiving everything I was told I would receive that bothers me. Receiving everything you paid for is a good thing.

The musket which will now be called the Minuteman could be a slow projectile but do a good amount of damage, but every shot you have to reload. I can imagine two armies of soldiers lining up and marching towards eachother with them.

Like a one shot rocket? Wouldn't that belong in the primary slot?
