The Huntsman entry implies otherwise. And I seriously hope that the implied effect is there, otherwise the Huntsman will be more of a nerf than anything. Sure, the rifle takes longer to charge, but you can get much farther away and be much, much safer.

Quote:No, the Huntsman doesn't stun. It pins dead/dying players. Dying, as in still alive. I assume that if you were alive and pinned, you could still fire weapons. At least, I hope. I still think that otherwise, the Huntsman wouldn't be very useful. It'd just put you in harm's way. Let me hold on to my twisted, ill-conceived hope. ![]()

It's simple. The Huntsman doesn't stop living people in their tracks like Sandman would. Â There is no "if". Â It won't...it'll stick people who are dead or people that the shot kills to a wall, but they won't be alive and struggling to get off the wall. Â It's not "Sandman #2". Â I think the Sandman caused the most rage of any update and it's not something they want to repeat, I'm sure.
I think the weapon itself will be beneficial for those that want to move up into the action and aren't quickshot gods like a few out there. I assume with the faster charge, it means for faster firing, which is the benefit there, not too mention allowing full speed instead of cutting movement down when scoped. ![]() |

You guys are right, no matter how much I wish otherwise. *sigh* But... ugh, in that case it might go the other way. Boom, you're shot, boom you're shot, boom you're shot, with the sniper becoming a hopping, dodging instant kill machine. :o ![]() |

This new sniper update hurts my head. I can't wait to see it roll out so all the features can be defined totally and completely. Also, anyone heard about the decloaking spy in the background of the Razorback picture? Apparently it showed up twice today, according to Rock, Paper, Shotgun. ![]() |

I was calling bullshit till I read the update of him showing up again and that it was more substantial and not a hoax by a few people. To have this become a Spy double update or something would be mind blowing to do or maybe give a teaser. *EDIT* I was reading the forums and someone brought up the idea that it could be teasing the "Meet the Spy" video which would be awesome. ![]()

Seriously, out of all the Snipers I've killed maybe 2 actually use the SMG, maybe the rest don't fall into the category of "Too shitty to point black with the Sniper Rifle but not dumb enough to Kukriflail". It seems kind of silly giving stupid people more ways to be stupid. May as well have the Sniper's melee weapon be a fork and a plugged in toaster.
