Time to complain about TF2

May 20, 2009 19:37

- Jarate? Seriously? (At least it looks decent, unlike the Razorback)
- Based on the icons, 6 of the achievements are Jarate-based, and 8 more are Huntsman-based. This is just stupid. That's nearly half of the achievements relying on you having already unlocked a weapon. Now watch them put the Huntsman last.

All of the Sniper unlocks look stupid. ( Read more... )

Wh- Jarate is REAL?

I've spent the last six months playing TF2 on Xbox wishing they'd hurry up and finish these updates and port them to XBL, but now I'm almost glad we don't have them yet. Besides that some of them are just crazy, there's the whole thing of everyone playing one class for a whole week to get the achievements, making serious play impossible.

I'm waiting for them to say it's all a joke and it's actually the Engineer update.

On the other hand, if the Spy update goes through, I'll be playing Pyro for the next week or so and loving it.

I'm pretty sure it's real... I mean, they laid out the entire idea of how it works: It puts out fires, shorts out cloaking devices, and makes your enemy SUFFER from LOW SELF ESTEEM.

I'm kind of ready to accept it though... most Snipers are useless in the first place, so I don't really mind if they're made into a bigger joke than they already are.

I can never get more kills in less time than when I play Sniper on a newbie server. Snipers didn't really need a power boost, but they didn't really need the humiliation, either.

Trolling or not, this is getting on my nerves. I've spent a good deal of time waiting for alternative items for Sniper so I could try out a different style of play, just to keep the class novel. No need for a power boost, but a serious extension of gameplay styles would have been interesting.

Instead, I get pis'n'a jar, a useless car battery shield, and a bow and arrow that can't be judged without trying it out, but based on the other items, I'm finding the outcome for it grim as well.

Jokes are fun when it's April Fool's Day and when they're asides, but this...

Thinking deeper on Jarate, if they changed the damage increase to some kind of single-target miss %, it might be better as a tool for the sniper, and could at least make a bit of sense as an alternate to damage.

E.g., Being blinded by the yellow sting in the eye or just being distracted by the scent, and missing some shots would give the Sniper a better survival chance if he gets ambushed by someone.

They can keep the anti-spy stuff if they want, but I always felt that was more the Pyro's bag.

Still no comment on the shield. It's crap as-is.

Absolutely agreed. The Sniper update looks completely fucking dumb. I don't know what went wrong with the TF2 team...

The Jarate, puts out fires. This is a big problem. First of all, now people are going to want to get piss on them to get their fires out (...). Secondly; Should this be the snipers job at all?? They are supposed to be focused on shooting people.
