Haven't played sawmill yet ( :cry: ) and nucleus was a bit like wth its one big circle, although it was rather funny. Pipeline is very chaotic, and imho its usually a spawnkillfest for one team. I know jer will start saying I should take the other exit then, but they always seem to be at the exit I wanna leave through. The idea of payloadrace is nice, but the deathmatch thing sucks. It can be explained a little I guess, since the carts will be at the same place at the same time. So you both wanna defend and offend. Everyone goes to one spot, and thats where all the killing is. Pushing is sopmething you can do when everyone is dead, but there's no fallback of the defenders like in goldrush or badwater, because you can't really. I like hoodoo, though not as much as its played atm. At least the first days the servers were bouncing from pipeline to hoodoo to pipeline to hoodoo etc. I'm still lost at the last stage though, hadnt had a real good chance at exploring there I hate the new achiev system just like most do, but who knows what comes out when its unbugged. @Ps, good thing thats a fake. WHAT THE HELL is wrong with the sniper scope. Its still the same isnt it? I know there is a small crosshair which they might have left out, but it doesnt make it harder to aim when you're zoomed in? I've got the huntsman and I dont see any advantage in it. Sure its hella fun to do, and its nice to have a flaming arrow when a friendly pyro flamed you. BUT, with - slow moving projectiles that CAN be dodged, yes they can - arrows that are gravity affected at long range or even short when not fully charged - the fact that you cannot keep an arrow charged too long (your arm will start shaking severely fucking your aim) - You dont have a zoom making it VERY hard to hit or spot enemies, snipers in particular, at longer range - Due to less accuracy and slow moving projectile ist practicly luck if you headshot people (in my nooblish experience ofcourse) So the bow rather fails atm imo. I hope they give it somethign special like bleeding damage or whatever, some reason to wield it rather than the fun element which will wear off after a few weeks.
I don't see the problem either - then again I haven't played much Sniper since the update. If you're able to kill a 125HP enemy with one charged arrow - which takes 1 second to charge - then I doubt that there's something wrong with this thing.
A lot has changed in 6 months Still a pretty neat game. I'm not found of earning achievements to get new weapons. Rather have them straight away and get achievements as a bonus. Medic is still my favorite class, and actually the only class that has 2 weapons (the new bonesaw and Vampire gun) that have a big advantage compared to the standard array. Lots of new (custom) maps, which I love, especailly custom ones. I always knew Hoodoo would make in into the list.
I personally don't really hate the system, It's a nice idea and if it's not broken or bugged anymore I think it would be a nice system. I don't have the bow yet, so I can't really tell about it, but what I think is that the sniper rifle is more far range combat weapon and the bow middle/close range weapon..which means you can't do the same things with the bow as you can do with the sniper rifle..you going to need new tactics to fully use it's power...and I hope that they don't add something an bleeding system, because it sounds quite overpowered...a wielder with a bow in close combat is already more deadly than a wielder with a sniper rifle, giving him also the bleeding functionality means instant death for the victim..
Well the bleeding might have just been an idea that firs came to mind, they already have fire so bleeding would be overkill since its practicly the same effect. I know the bow calls more for close/medium range combat, but the problem imo with hat is health. When closer in range you aer much more vulnerable to rockets and stickies and such. The sniper doesnt have the health to match up with that. Also when holding the bow charged you walk at crouching speed, so avoiding is not really an option unless you just wanna bail and forget shooting, also completely destroying the only reason you might wanna be as clsoe as you are. You say the bow can kill an 125 hp enemy in one shot. That would indeed be a valid reason to use it. I supose I just need more practise. When thinking about it though, you could only kill a scout (to fast) sniper (long range) or engie (sentry defene) in one shot. I'll give it another try, but honestly I would like a little extra effect on it without it getting OP.
Idea for balance = Faster charge to 100% but rigth away when it's charged, the crosshair starts to go batshitcrazy on you. I can't wait to get the huntsman, try it out 'n all.
And spie's and medics since it does 170 hs uncharged IIRC. Still would like to get a weapon though, played for 40 hours and still nothing. Also http://fc08.deviantart.com/fs43/f/2009/ ... nShwei.png
Like I said before, it would be fun to see the main 3 weapons based on achievs and maybe additional stuff random finding, or skill based (increased changes after a nemesis? 5 kills in a life? something?) I do think its crap they rushed this bugged thing rather than waiting till its fixed. Then again if they would have you wouldnt have hd your gun either. But of course neither would others so you wouldnt feel like a lesser person. I hope they will change the system QUICKLY, meaning removing the bug that stops people from gaining weapons, release the info on influence, bring out the trading/selling option, and FFS remove the fact that you can gain weapons by speccing because its like they just give acheiv servers on a silver plate, completely bypassing the justice in the system of dedicated players gaining more. I hope its a bug and not part of the system. Honestly. I hope you will all agree the speccing think is lame.
I really want the huntsman But I think the people mean with the new scope is the croshair that now EVERYBODY has instead of just the people who use custom croshair. Valve had to chose. everybody a croshair with SR or delete the custom CH at unscoped SR. they chose the first option. still only have the ambassador
I love the ambassador but I also want to try the Huntsman If I would only get the huntsman instead of 4 ambassadors, 3 jarates, 3 razorbacks, 2 cloak&daggers and loads of other duplicates (yes, I got all those, meh)
Gimme that. ._. You can have one of my 3 Sandmen. If those duplicates would at least be useful in some way... like that you can use the weapon Akimbo style - that would be neat. Akimbo Minigun. *hrhrhr* Ok... that's silly. But hey... Akimbo Flare Gun woud be even possible.
Let's just hope Valve is gonna put this trading system in soon So I can get rid of all my stuff + I so want one of those sweet hats/helmets
Can I please have some of your duplicates? I'll reservate a cloack and dagger, a jarate and an ambassador please In exchange you can have ubersaws backburners KGB's sandmans flareguns! pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeease XD
I finally got a cloak and dagger, it sucks and I don't play spy. If I have to wait 50ish hours for some unlock I don't want how long will I have to wait to get a real one?
Like The Rolling Stones would say : you can't always get what you want i got the bowl off piss and the razorback, have patience
