TF2 (split from screenshots thread)

just started using the huntsman today, i had avoided cause it has a reputation for being spammy.

it totally lived up to its reputation, but i couldn't care less. cause there is nothing quite like the ability to head shot an oncoming pyro or scout so easily.
 
The ****sman is fantastic for griefing. I only do it when I wanna annoy people, I usually end up getting a lower kdr than I do with the sniper rifle. Don't play sniper much overall though...
 
huntsman can be nice, but try fighting a sniper rifle at range with it. :sad:
 
The huntsman is fun, and while people can certainly just spam it, I used it quite a bit for a while after it came out and got better at it, but now that I havn't used it in months in favour of the scope I suck at it and can't aim off my shots very well anymore.
 
i found its not too hard, just pop out of cover and spam one in the snipers direction, and the broken hitboxes tend to do the rest of the work

Yeah, only when you're out of cover, he shoots you and then avoids the arrow.

Travel time, you see.
 
well most snipers aren't good enough to hit a jumping target on pub servers
The only time I caught a jumping target was pure luck.
 
well if they are charging shots against another sniper (even with huntsman) then they are dead.

No, they emerge from cover and then shoot it.

But with huntsman, it fails, and this is why: Sniper rifle will be camping the emergence spot with 100% charge. Rifle fire = instantaneous, arrow != instantaneous, so the sniper rifle sniper will be able to evade it after killing the archer sniper.

sniper emerging with charged shot = slow sniper = very easy to hit (or at least fire) before he sees you.

anyway, you guys are kinda missing the point. the huntsman is most effective in closer quarters. and yes azzaman i know its lame when people just spam at distance, but after a while you can begin to play skillfully with it.
 
>skillfully
>hunstman

yea ok kid, stop playing in 16 v 16 insta respawn servers

i never play insta respawn 32 man servers... the server i play on most regularly is just an 18-man server (well except for today when i set out to beat my record for backstabs using a spy on 2fort - got 31 backstabs, 65 points. my chart is now screwed massively)

ill admit to not being brilliant with the sniper rifle, but the huntsman works for me at least.
