Theres a lot of potential with the sniper updates, I just hope its not like the scout BS that makes it all unbalanced. I wont get to try it out since I rarely plate an over filled class, I just hope they do it right.

Tranq is for the spy if they pull it over from TFC which would be awesome

[RadHazG]

What did the tranq do? I never did get to TFC, the guys I LAN'd with never wanted to. Bastards.

Boomerang would be great, I forsee perhaps replacing the subgun?
New rifle prediction would be ... mmmmm well I'd like perhaps a semiauto that does minor damage to body and major to head, but less zoom, faster movment while zoomed. kinda like the difference between a sniper rifle and an ACOG scope from CoD4.
Buuuuuut none of the guns thus far (primary weapons anyway) have been that major a departure from what the standard gun was for that class sooooooo.... I'm betting basically just something with a faster charge time for a more mobile sniper. They'll tack something else in there I'm sure but the basic idea will be a faster or less charge time.

[Ripskin]

The tranq gun in TFC shot a dart that if it hit slowed that person down to less than heavy speed, and made their vision go all over the place, as if you were making a large figure 8 with your mouse.

Similar to the effects of a concussion grenade. I miss the goold ol' days of TFC at times :) Community went down the crapper and valve over patched the game into oblivion.

Its hard to find a good video showing these effects, anyone who played Medic or scout back then got good at countering the effects. Since the effects started at a different part of the figure 8 once you got the spot that it started at you could counter it. With the pyro flame now it does not always move your aim off in the same way so its hard to still get HS's and other stuff with it. If I had more skill maybe but eh. Concing was fun and so usefull.

Having the hallucinogen grenade for the spy would rock as well, oh that was fun lol.

ughh now i wanna play TFC O_o

[Ripskin]

Hehe, ever played it? The community in it now is just hard core players so its not new person friendly. Most of those players have migrated to Fortress Forever. Which was fun for a little while.

I miss the old days in TFC back when it started. They had some amazingly fun maps that came with the game, wish they would port those over properly into TF2. The original Badlands was a really good map. I might try a remake on it once I finish my current one. Its on the list with Crossover 2. There was another, I cant think of the name but it was great for full servers.

Each base had 2 flags, to win you had to cap all 4, it was insane at times with a full house running flags all over the place lol.

I started TFC at about version 1.4 or something early on in 98 / 99. Stuck with it till about 2004.

Sniper did not change much between TFC and TF2, but the spy did. I wonder if they will ditch his cloak for his feign death from TFC. Would be cool to have that back.

theres a internet cafe by my house that has it on the comps, I played it for a few and then my time ran out

[thewiredknight]

Sweet, finally an excuse to get some achievments again. Been a long time since there was a class I play updated.

They better have something so snipers will stop using the 100% chance crit kukri.

Its far from 100%, but if you do the math on the damage add up just a few sniper shots that hit = crit time.
