2nd article down talks about how they are trying to replace the sniper rifle and gives a tease of what to expect.

What a waste of what could be a cool unlockable. I get close enough a lot of the time, other's I am shooting from a battleground. I personally like crits but what about those? You walk around the corner or out the spawn door into a crit...yeah I felt enguaged to that attacher.. Lame excuse.

I dunno, I agree with valve. I despise getting headshotted from a million miles away. At least spies have to put themselves at considerable risk to get their one-hit-kills. I've always found snipers the least fun thing about this game.

[SATAn]

yeah I'd have to agree with levi, even though i like playing sniper sometimes, I don't like other snipers.

sounds interesting, I don't think I'll get anybetter at headshots with this update so I probably won't use it. On a side note thought I opened up that doctor who link (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LF2x5IKxmAQ&feature=PlayList&p=641CE0FA477316EA&index=0) and read the announcement and surely enough by the time I finished reading that video finished playing nifty!

[SATAn]

hahaha yeah I did the same. Thanks valve.

Depends on the map and the team layout. Snipers can be very usefull or really pointless.

I find scouts with their one hit kills from across the map and pyro's with 300 foot flames that insta kill without crit more annoying than someone who has to hit your head while under fire (team work pending of course).

[SATAn]

scouts get one hit kills from across the map now? fuck yeah, sign me up!

Man, thats it. Next time I see a sniper I'm gonna go scout and snipe em back.
