Mana 3,867 #3 Posted May 13, 2009 So when is this update coming out again? They seem to have forgotten to give us a date damnit. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kakashi11 0 #4 Posted May 13, 2009 I think is in 5 days(from today) so sat it could come out, but maybe this is just a teaster Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cant push uber nub 3 #5 Posted May 13, 2009 Looks good. I wonder if you can shoot it quickly or does it take time to reload? Also, it replaces the primary rifle right? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rolooooooooo 2 #6 Posted May 13, 2009 hmmm. good stuff for now but am hoping there's a downside to this. If the arrow is instant for full charge and the arrows stay on u that's a little overpower. Maybe valve will take away his zoom or damage is lesser or something. HMmm crossing fingers for a boomarang I better start practicing and get my server ready.

Miyari 33 #8 Posted May 13, 2009 The obvious downside would be that it doesn't have a scope? Which means no zooming - which means closer range shots (ie. the whole 'bring the sniper into the battle' idea). The positive is that it has a one second charge time, which means that accuracy is finally praised and you won't have heavies, demos and soldiers running off merrily to their medics and dispensers after receiving a clean shot to the head. It should prove to be either extremely rewarding or extremely annoying to experienced snipers, and will result in terrible snipers probably doing more bodyshot damage than they normally should. It all depends on the damage range. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mana 3,867 #9 Posted May 13, 2009 Page 2 is out. They changed the double payload map to a night setting and now they have an arena map with rain. Reminds me of that 2fort mod I made once which added particle rain and nice fog and zombies... The new arena maps look nice. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Melissia 7 #10 Posted May 13, 2009 That they do mana. I'm unsure on the double payload map, I guess I'll have to play it to see. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kuttlewug 28 #11 Posted May 14, 2009 (edited) Honestly I thought it was only a matter of time before they came out with a double payload. Next they'll have payload&CP! Normally I don't ever play arena but if those maps are good you just might see me in there often. Finally glad to see some weather effects and a night themed map too.

Miyari 33 #12 Posted May 14, 2009 Honestly I thought it was only a matter of time before they came out with a double payload. I want an official remake of Avanti's reverse CTF gameplay format. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
