    wow, people around the internet are really fucking upset about the Jarate. Personally, I think it really highlights how much I love Valve and I can't think of anything else for the sniper to get. I can't believe how upset neckbeards can get over a game like this.

    Yah, you gotta use scripts for that.
    TF2Wiki has bunches of them, but in my opinion they're kludgy turds. You'd be better off learning how to do it yourself. It's not that hard.

    Besides, doing it yourself lets you create stuff suited to your specific needs. TF2Wiki doesn't have my "Press F1 to build, press F1 twice rapidly to destroy (a la double click)" build script.

    So, is the jarate the final reveal? Or do you people think there might be a knife unlockable for the spy?

    I hope there's a knife unlock, otherwise, the spy can only use two of the three unlocks at a time.

    I like the idea of jarate though, because if you take that, and the razor back, all you'll have to kill people with is the rifle/bow.

    This thread grew 30 pages since I went home last night, so sorry if these have already been discussed.

    I hope we see the spy and sniper doing a knife fight (with their melee unlocks) while wearing hats and in the community maps! I am serious! :D

    Scripts are great especially for things that you would expect to just be in the game naturally, like double key binds or switching between only your primary and secondary or primary ternary.

    Seeing as you can fire off arrrows immediately, there's no scope limitation, and hitting a guy with jarate causes more damage, I'd say they're going in a very specific direction with this.

    Yeah. It seems like the Jarate and Huntsmen are designed to turn the Sniper into a kind of mid-range harrasser; debuffing the enemy and inflicting arrow damage.

    Not "turn him into" but allow him to be. No one is forcing you to not use the sniper rifle.

    Engineer update will introduce on-demand farting. The pistol will be replaced with a can of refried beans, which he can throw at enemies, or eat to produce more methane. All sentries will be powered by methane.

    And demomen will flick boogers at enemies, "creeping them out".

    Right. I didn't think I implied you had a mandatory role shift, but fair enough- personally I think it's an interesting direction to go with the unlocks. It's almost like adding a new class.

    You learn how to do Jarate and they give you a trophy.

    Well, pyros are immune to flames, and jarate can put out flames. It's possible...

    Also, do we have any idea when the update will hit today or is it just one of those wait and see things?

    Feels a bit too optimistic. Normally with large updates they feel the need to wait till very awkward or just not too bright times. This isn't for valve specifically but for software companies as a whole.
