    Speaking of which, does anyone have a link to a tutorial for the Hammer map editor and using it to make TF2 maps?

    They best not waste a day on custom maps again. At least throw in something worth caring about.

    Its amazing the disparity of views on new maps are. We have a whole group here that would love to have new maps added to official status since they complain about the monotony of the current maps. Then we have others that don't want any new maps at all?

    I don't get it.
    You have fantastically missed the point of the complaints. People are not clamoring for new maps to be added to official status - as in, including existing custom maps in future patches - because any user can install a map pack from fpsbanana. People complaining of the monotony of the current maps are hoping for new Valve maps - things we haven't seen, and dismissed, already.

    Since valve maps are always better, right

    coughcoughhydrocough
    I guess it's the same as clamoring for your favorite custom mappers to make new custom maps too

    they hype the sniper update for a week and then when everyone downloads it all the achievements are spy achievements

    We don't bring that film up around here because even the merest mention of it turns the next seven pages into nothing but Predator quotes. Same with Aliens and Terminator.

    Besides, what's got Flippy so spooked?

    Actually making the sniper a class that is not exclusive to little girls and people who like to hide at the back like little girls may mean that I actually explore this mysterious ninth class on my class select menu.

    My time played as sniper is but a tiny dot compared to everything else at the moment.

    I think the idea of having a bow and arrow and a man-portable minigun on the same battlefield fits TF2's aesthetic/theme so nicely

    Man, seriously? I see no reason they would post an insanely early reveal so I assume the Sniper patch is coming within 2 weeks. Who are these people and what have they done with Valve?

    I want to say within one week. So far the updates have come out the day after they were done revealing.

    Man those stats are just depressing

    The time played could be achieved by anyone with even less of a social life than me and the all-time scores could be inflated by any amount of pub-crawling and bugged maps

    Rather worryingly I realise I've got more damage than him, 10k as a demo

    I doubt the bow has the same basic (body) damage as the rifle, it would be retarded over powered if with a one second charge you could 1 hit kill 7 of the 9 classes in the game by shooting them in the foot.

    Calling it now:

    * Shoots a projectile - range & speed based on charge level
    * Same damage as Sniper rifle(with faster charge)
    * No zoom, charging slows you to scoped speed and no holding a charge
    * Slightly lenient headshot detection, maybe shoulders & up
    * Wall-sticking on kill as a fluff feature

    I actually hope its this. that would be cool. and i'll be able to reflect flippys arrows at him now.

    minty you should get on the irc channel

    They'll have more reveals than that. They already said this was their biggest update yet. We know there will be 3 items, hats and multiple new maps, that's at least 5 more days.

    Hm. 714 hours with 609 of that behind the scope, now.

    4.93% of my life since release, or 1 hour 10 minutes a day on average.

    I can live with that, seeing as when I do play it's usually for about three hours.
