TIMS SNIPER UPDATE MEGATHREAD BOOOURNS!

Pipeline = First Night Map?

[Maxon]

Love the look of the Arena maps, but a shame I'll never play them.  I'm with Wedge.  I can't stand playing Arena maps.  I hate being forced to sit out, just because my team didn't win or dying and having to watch the rest of the game go on.  That's not why I play TF2 and it's a shame they continue to promote that crappy gametype.  I'll play it once during Sudden Death, but I don't want to do it every round.

Hopefully the Payload Race is good.  I remember us giving that custom one a try and how shitty it was, though to be fair, it was such a poorly designed map.  I'm definitely interested in the map though since I love Payload.

More Arena for REAL MEN ™ like me and Karth   New maps look good all around.  Curious to see how Valve does double payload since I've yet to meet a good custom one.

I've only played an arena map like one time. :'(

[ZargonX]

I am totally excited by the prospect of new props and weather effects for mapping

I like the idea of constant pushing of the cart though. It's gunna be interesting how this new type of payload works.

Whatever, hopefully someone with make good use of the new assets for a normal map.

Especially the stuff in Nucleus. God that thing looks badass.

too bad you'll probably get 5fps looking at it

Well...

No hunted civilian map =(...

And I really want know what VALV[sup]E[/sup] means by 'dying' in

No, the Huntsman doesn't stun. It pins dead/dying players.

I think it means that you can mess around with dead ragdolls and it also pins players you just killed

How... useless.

dying as in the process of dying (the arrow being that which is killing a person)

Which raises the question... what's the point? I mean, having the ability to have arrows sticking out of victims are fun, but what makes up for the lack of scope?

Not that I mind of course. Hell on Earth if you see me complaining about snipers not having the ability to blow my head in from across the map.

[Wedge]

Well presumably it lets you charge without taking the massive mobility hit or something?  They said explicitly it's to make the Sniper a mid-range fighter instead of shooting shit across the map, I would assume if he's standing around like a scoped rifle sniper that would be pointless.  Anyways, I'm definitely excited for this, as it might make the class actually fun to play, if not exactly useful.
