  • Oh shi-

    Wave goodbye to yer head, wanker
    April 2, 2009 - Greg Cherlin

    It's been a couple of weeks since we posted, so we thought it'd be good to do some housekeeping. The next class pack will focus on the Sniper. It's actually shaping up to be the largest TF2 update yet, with multiple new maps and a bunch of gameplay tweaks. In addition, we've got another update in the works that should be done before the Sniper, and that one will include some new content for all classes.

    The XBox 360 update is still being worked on. If you're wondering what's taking so long, since the content is "done" on the PC already, it's mostly been around fitting it all onto the XBox. The original version of TF2 in the Orange Box was very close to the XBox's memory limit, and all the additional TF2 content we've produced has pushed well beyond it. We've found a couple of nifty ways to get back a bunch of that memory, but it's turned out to be a lot of work, and that's what most of our time is being spent on. In the meantime, we're going to get a code update out to address the server cheating that's going on.

    Like many other folks online, the TF2 team has been loving the Top 10 TF2 Plays of the Week videos that Push Gaming has been doing. If you haven't seen them yet, you can catch week 1, and week 2. We're hoping for a third one soon, but we can't really complain. If we were doing them ourselves, you'd probably see the third one sometime next year. While waiting though, you can check out the exploits of some of the Sniper's countrymen in the second frag video of Aussie clan Mad Dogz.

    Sniper! I'm happy he gets a update. No matter how fun it is going close range against scouts the sniper class doesn't offer much variety.

              Time for a Force-a-Nature killing spree... or to troll 2fort snipers (Haha oh wow, this is also a 2fort update) by Bonking back and forth (or a clackclack artillery battery, anyone?). I am totally psyched for this one.

              Any weapon ideas? I came up with a long rifle. Always does 50% charge damage, but has a longer reload and a team-colored laser from the muzzle, so you could be seen at all times with it out. A friend (ColMirage) came up with an idea for homing bullets... but they never crit or headshot.

                IT is a spy update. Cloaked as a sniper update.

                  Good point. :laugh:

                  But I'm still waiting for the spy to have an unlockable tuxedo.

                    It still confuses me how sniper would be top priority right now for Valve.

                    Ah well. Can't wait to see the servers during patch launch anyway. Nothin' but 2Fort and achievement servers. xD
