TF2 The Sniper Update Achievements Revealed, Plus More 'Jarate' Media
Post by Steve Farrelly @ 10:47am 21/05/09 | 45 Comments
Just ahead of the official release of the Sniper Update for Team Fortress 2, Valve have maintained their roll out of humorous media and information, today offering up an old comic-book style ad (ripped right from the old-school Charles Atlas bodybuilder beach bully ad) that continues their 'Jarate' exposure, as well as listing all the available Achievements you'll have once the update is applied.

Hit this link to check it out, and make sure you jump onto Steam over the weekend (there's also a Spy Update applying at the same time) to get in there early. UPDATE: For anyone who hasn't heard yet, this weekend is also a fully free TF2 Steam session to celebrate the release of the update.

What did you expect for the sniper? You got protection from a common issue for snipers, getting stabbed in the back and you got a more interesting and probably more challenging weapon rather than just another sniper rifle. I'm happy with it.

thanks rav for not even reading the original post.
only disappointing part of the sniper update is no boomerang, although the piss in a jar is quite humorous.

casa speaks the truth, boomerang would of been awesome

piss in the jar is good though, makes sniper a bit more of a team friendly class - i like that you can put out your teammates fires, be cool to save a life when a medic isn't around

I watched the Meet the Sniper video again today, (went through them all for all times sake) and noticed the Jarate is actually in the video, which was released a year ago.

Shows they had the idea on the cards for some time!

So do you have unlimited supply of this Jar, or do you have to go to a corner of the map to "reload" it?

I'm getting a 'Server is forcing consistancy for this file: particles\water_dx80.pcf' error when joining maps now.

weird.

I don't play normal TF2 so don't really care about the sniper/spy updates.. I just wanna play on the TF2 Surf maps. They're addictive as crack

it means the weapons arent bound to achievements anymore. you have to pick them up from dead bodies.

Actually you don't pick them up from dead bodies. They seem to be randomly time based. You can just be standing around waiting for the round to start and get a weapon unlock.

AOE = Area of Effect. So toss your piss into a crowd of people and it will go on all of them.

So how does it work - is it once you find a new weapon, you can then use it forever? Or is it until you die or something like that.

This sound dissapointing, to be honest. Were they just sick of people using unlockers? You know some of us had fun working at achievements to get the guns :/

New double payload race is the best map so far!

Especially the 3rd stage, side by side up the hill.

Epic.
