Let's solidify this. The Sniper cannot DIE from a head-shot. If the killing blow, say an attack that would bring his HP at or below 0 thus ending his life, is aimed right at his head, he will survive. HOWEVER, if he takes a head-shot that doesn't kill him, he still receives the damage.

[url=#user_comment_44645]@Merc[/url]: Uh, I'm talking about a situation where the Spy gets the element of surprise first. At point-blank, all it takes is one head-shot from the Amby and then a body shot for a kill. So yeah, it's a plan. I'd go so far to say an OUTSTANDING plan, especially if he's Razorback'd.

Guys, try thinking for a moment before posting. If the new croc shield blocked backstabs, then it's basically just a Razorback + 25hp. Which is obviously just OP and stupid. The croc shield DOES NOT stop backstabs.
As for Ambassador, it's stil the same, one headshot, one bodyshot
@SRG
over 13 years ago
Yeah I'd imagine so. You can't backstab the sniper, and you can't take him out with a headshot using the Ambassador, therefore breaking the entire sniper class. Now Snipers are relegated to taking out engineer buildings, and maybe getting into a direct conflict with the sniper, but no insta-kills.

wait so does this mean snipers are immune to spies now with they got the gatorback and immune to head shots?

Well it did allow me to finally get the sentry remote control which was really the only thing I needed to complete my engineer rollout. But that doesn't matter now since soldiers can just bomb my sentries to shit now since they have resistance to it.

You forget that while it makes the Sniper immune to headshots, they can't do any themselves anymore. THAT is what it'll change their gameplay.

Just gotta say that the defense banner is super awesome fun, especially with a kritz pocket medic. Just wait until the two of you are charged, then just rick roll over everyone. 35% dmg reduction, no crits, and full crits for you? AWESOME.

Generally I found the whole update enjoyable. I don't mind the store and I have in fact purchased quite a few items, mostly cosmetic stuff.

My one problem is the fact that crates seem to drop quite a bit, and at the moment the only way to get the keys to open them is via the shop. Capitalism, Ho!

Update: Robin Walker has since replied to a message on the Steam Forums that Polycount hats will have specific craftable formulas now. Likewise it should be noted that the Sniper may be immune to head shots with his set but the Sydney Sleeper cannot dish out head shots.

Even without any other tangible benefit than saving time, people are gonna sink loads into this shop. Valve will be rich. Filthy rich. Filthy, stinking rich. Just a big...just a BIG stinking CORPSE of ATROCIOUS, ROTTEN RICH.

I'm...on the fence about this latest Team Fortress 2 update. On the one hand, I like the fact we now have twice as much Backpack space to work with, but on the other hand, this could easily turn the game into yet another "rich kid's playground" much akin to every Korean MMORPG EVER...

@Soylent Robot: Fine by me, I hate twitch snipers.

I approve of this update. Micro-transactions are not being forced upon anyone and the new gear is pretty interesting. Valve certainly handles the whole item store bwees-ness better than companies like Nexon. (I hate you, Nexon.)

I like this update. Community desingers actually can make a small profit of their items and hats if they are added to the store. It's supporting and encouraging to the community to build and contribute to keep TF2 fresh and fun.

The new update sucks ass.
Soldiers broken.
Scouts broken.
Pyros broken.

Snipers broken AND immune to headshots.
Demo is unused again.
Medic is unused again.
Engis unused again.

The set bonus seems to be a clever idea. The Degreaser is deadly with the axtinguisher as it is easier to "puff n' sting" but you need to equip the powerjack to move faster

People always seem to forget that if a sniper wants headshot immunity, he gives up his own ability to headshot with the sydney sleeper.

it was only a matter of time until valve decided to jump on the bandwaggon of micro transactions. Can't say I'm happy with that either. I'd prefer an age verification system... [url=#user_comment_44655] @davtwan[/url]: For now, they can not be traded. but wait for it and it will happen. Just wait.
Davtwan
over 13 years ago
Maybe the special-set hats could have their own 100% crafting formula, if they don't already have one? After all, if some players plan to craft it, then they could at least get an absolute chance to get it after weeks of collecting items.

After all, store-bought items cannot be traded.
Davtwan
over 13 years ago
I generally liked this update. I love The Degreaser for fitting with my playstyle.

I'm glad items can still be found normally too. Players found PAINT. Nevertheless, special-set hats having no better odds than regular hats was a bit devious. Whatever it takes to jump-start the store, I suppose.

You couldnt see this coming, Jo? Where were you when people foretold this coming back when Valve started selling exclusive items for prepurchasing L4D2 and Sam+Max? Those were the omens heralding this coming, yet people like you provided excuse after excuse for Valves foot in the door schemes. GJ.

[url=#user_comment_44622]@Le_Spah[/url]: And then you get headshotted since you didnt kill him the first time. So now you're dead and he's run off to get health. Yeah. Good plan there.
Merc
over 13 years ago
[url=#user_comment_44631]@lol[/url]: Pretty sure thats the definition of a headshot in TF2 terms. Headshot = instant death from charged rifle. Headshot =/= instant death from charge rifle. I guess you can say he's immune to headshots. OH SNAP.

notonly that but pr update items that already said vintiage (merrywether) now sound weird "vintage vintage merrywether" which is why i found a tag and renamed it the pyro hat of pwning

over 13 years ago
sniper thing protects you from one headshot- it'll always leave you at at least 1 hp when it should have killed you, but it's not immunity.

my friend just got the gru twice- bought it then it dropped an hour later.
Lilly Satou
over 13 years ago
Baaaawwww. Valve made it so that items bought were untradable and uncraftable, they made pre-update items vintage, and all sets have a specific recipe. Not to mention the items are ridiculously overpriced in the first place AND funds from bought community items go to the creators. Why complain?

I agree with Titanis. I want a mini-medic. Maybe a hat with a mini-medic key-chain on it?
Anonymoose
over 13 years ago
I think the new rifle is pretty useful - I've managed to ruin many heavy-medic combos by inflicting jarate from across the map.

Other than that, still trying to get the right stuff to craft the new items.

Le_Spah

Keep in mind the bonus says "The wearer cannot be *killed* by headshots." Meaning you can't die from them, but you can still receive damage. So Amby combo is still valid (Head-shot for the 102 dmg and then body shot to clean up). Or a head-shot to bring them down to 1 HP, if that's how it works.

I find the solider set bounse to be a bit much, 20% damage reduction from a sentry guy is a lot to be taken away from. I mean a solider being healed by a medic could take it out with out an uber.

You can't receive headshots, but to get that set bonus you must be using the Sydney Sleeper, which cannot headshot others. It basically just removes headshots from the equation, and it's hard to imagine a croc Sniper even participating in a sniper war.
Theminipanda
over 13 years ago
The croc hat set bonus comes at the exception of using the Sydney Sleeper. Which is pretty damn awful. It isnt unfair. Just annoying.
