Your theory on the sniper update?

What do you think will happen when the sniper update comes out?


Since their's so little exceptionally skilled snipers out there, and Valve always knows how to excite the tf2 community.  Do you think the hype will be short lived?


I think Valve won't change anything about the sniper or his normal weapons.  And his new ones will be pretty much as equally challenging to use.  Since pyro is so easy to play now, I think it will be the opposite with sniper.  Frustrating class switches all around.

Every sniper on the battlements.

oh yeahhh

lol @ pheonix

Same as what normally happens.

Everyone goes as the same class, making the really good players rise to the top.

Spies are going to have a field day, though.

Spies will have even more fun on Heavy Update day.

Sniper is my main. While I look forward to the unlocks, I also don't look forward to the masses coming to sniper.

I pray it comes sooner than later. That way the masses can switch to the new class after the sniper updates come out.

I'm not sure what to expect of the secondary and melee weapons, but I expect an interesting twist to the unlock.

I doubt its gonna come true, but I know I'm gonna prove to everyone I'm a good sniper regardless of the update but I think the sniper is gonna be like in October 1 update per month. Unless valve start releasing multiple weapon packs. Plus I think I'm gonna definatly have my hands on a good mouse by then.

i sure hope they don't make the sniper easier to play.. i like to have an advantage as sniper.. although, i have no idea what they COULD do to make it easier.. sooooo.. i'm not worried.. i think it will just make snipers a little bit happier..

the sniper updates will be tricky.. because so far.. the point of the updates is to get classes more play.. like the medics and pyros.. now, there's always a few medics [doesn't lower the chances of stupid medics, unfortunately].. and i thought the pyro craze would die down.. but no, i think everyone just WANTS to be a pyro now.. because it's way past the point of just getting achievs.. and there's still piles and piles of pyros.. but.. in the sniper's case.. there's nothing they can release that will really draw new people to it.. because.. with the medics: people were like "oooo, u get health back from the syring gun!!" and the pyro "oooo, a projectile gun!!" but with the sniper.. what could they possibly change that will make some one that doesn't like sniper, to give it a try??

idk.. 

I actually would love that, no one switching to sniper because of the update, no more 32 snipers on the battlements

I think the sniper update will not be nearly as bad as the medic/pyro simply because its a hard class to draw people in who have nvr tried it.  As far as weapons go, maybe a sniper that has a clip, but doesnt zoom out after every shot.  Maybe it could be semi aautomatic, but no charge shot to balance.  As far as the other two weapons go, i have no idea what they could be.
