Team Fortress 2 Sniper Update – Day 1

Sniper Class update is coming up next week.  Today is day 1 of Valve’s 1 week marketing whenever they come out with a new class patch.  After a patch, they usually let you play the game for free for a weekend, to help entice new players to the game.  It’s been working fine so far.

For day 1, the Sniper’s newest weapon is a bow and arrow. (Wha-wha-what?!) Yes, it seems low tech compared to many of the other weapons in the game but this one comes with an instant crit

Goin' low tech

With the bow and arrow a headshot can mean an instant crit and if near a wall, keep their ragdoll-like body stuck on the wall. Cute addition.  I wonder how this weapon will play out on the public gaming field.

Come back tomorrow to learn about Day 2 in Valve’s Sniper class update. Maybe it’ll be Super Smash bros move.
