What he said.

Edit: Though not for long, what with valve saying that the backpack is a way to decouple the unlocks and the achievements.

Gruesome *and* funny

Looks good. Will keep my eye on this one!

Day 2 is up, and the sniper is totally stealing my "just say I'm a doctor" moves.

 

[waterproofbob]

I've always enjoyed the sniper, could be a fun one.

 

[oobermybeer]

bail out!! Spyupdate .... haha

 

[Wol]

What happened with the piss-jar update does anyone know? Would have thought that would have been one of the first things to be 'released' if it was.

 

[oobermybeer]

the jar was a april fools the rest are real

 

[Wol]

w... to the .... a .... to the ...h


..... WAH

:-D

Actually, a more serious note:

What are peoples' opinions on the whole Jaraté thing?

Currently, I dont really mind. I think its funny, and does give a bit more interaction. Although it does help people not be on fire, which as a Pyro lover is a bit of an arse.

However, after reading some of the posts on the Steam forums, a lot of people are going "ewwww, its peeee". Now apart from the fact that these are like 11 year old girls (well, guys who are more girly than anything. Kinda like Vibs in that respect ;-) ), I dunno why they're bitching so much.....

Thought I'd throw it open to discussion. Meh

/wol.

Yeah, but when is a Sniper actually near anybody? It's a nice touch but I don't think it's going to see substantial use.

a lot of people are going "ewwww, its peeee".

Seems to me that it's one for the dick and fart crowd. Surely South Park lovers will unite in support of Jarate?

For me, it's a non-issue. I don't really find it amusing but conversely I don't find it offensive; instead, I'm interested to see how it plays.

Well noone complained when a jar of pee was featured in Meet The Sniper, so I see very little reason that they should complain now its a game feature.
Noone complains about the demo flashing his smilies, or, more recently, about pornography starring the scouts mother, so why should this kick up a fuss?
But that's just me - I don't very much care what the weapons are (as long as they're not entirely obscene)

 

[Nanor]

If people are complaining about the obscenity of throwing pee over someone in a game where you can beat someone to death with a baseball bat then said people need to sort out their priorities.

 

[BiG D]

I think it's EROTIC

 

[elDiablo]

You would.
