So wait....what's so special about it? And does it replace the sniper?

I dunno if you've played TF2 but this will add new items to the Snipers inventory, you can choose if you want to use the regular sniper rifle or (in the future) the crossbow. They will be introducing 2 more weapons probably and some new maps. Maybe even the headgears. (they said the headgears would come before the Sniper update so idunno)

I don't think the non TF2 players will care, I just posted this to inform the TF2 players.

No, I mean what's the ability of it. I play TF2....And I don't see how this fits with the sniper. I mean, he's meant for long range.....Unless they add the zoom on the bow.

I'd quote the page that actually tells you what it does, but it would be easier for you to read it yourself

If you check out the blog they stated they wanted to take away the frustration of getting killed by snipers from extreme ranges and make it so you can actually have a fighting chance against a sniper. So I'm assuming the no zoom and bow physics will cause snipers to move from long range to mid/close range, thus allowing the majority of classes other than spies to counter him.

Oh sorry, didn't quite get that.

I'm guessing it will replace the sniper rifle. It says on the blog that you can charge it so maybe it will zoom a little bit when you charge like most games. I just hope it won't stick players close to a wall to the wall, that would be almost as lame as the Sandman.

I'd assume it does replace the sniper. Having it as a sidearm would be overpowered. Unless it completely sucks. Doesn't seem like it does. This will be great for snapshotting in mid/close range.

I just hope they don't listen to the community again. I don't wanna see another Bonk!

I want spy updates!!!!!! I've gotten into playing spy a lot. Anyway, anybody know if the bow+arrow replaces the sniper rifle or the secondary weapon?

Wow, I think this is the only time I'm actually excited about the community maps.

Edit: Wait, they're official TF2 maps
