TF2 Update survey

I made a survey to see what people say about the Spy/Sniper Update to TF2. It already has players from the TF2 forums in it.

Submitted.

Thanks for that.

Nice to know that everyone hates the unlock system. I'm very surprised valve released an unfinished system. There's no way to trade or "achieve" specific items. They should have waited.

They said that they thought the scout achievements were very well done. I played scout for like 5 hours and didn't get a single one. They were ALL so varied. Seemed like 50% of them were for unlocks you didn't have. The other 50% were for every mode of play or so specific that it was impossible to achieve. Kill someone before the round starts on well? Is that possible?

Thanks for setting up the survey; interesting to see what other people think so far.

I am TRYING to like the drop system, but I can't say I'm overly psyched. I only have one new weapon so far... I understand the desire to level the playing field, and perhaps reward play time, but it just seems so... bleh.

It is maddening to want to try the Huntsman and certain other weapons and just have to wait for them and be rewarded with other items I already have in the meantime. Very weird.

The Scout unlock was the only bad one, because a lot of them dealt with getting unlcoks in the first place, meaning you had to do a few generic ones to unlock the FaN, then do the FaN ones to unlock the Sandman, then do those to unlock Bonk (or whatever roder it was in).

But this system is just stupid (in regards to getting weapons, and the moot point of achievments now).

I personally find the Huntsman to be overpowered. 1) It kills way too easily. I play as Heavy and being hit by one arrow usually=death, or sever damage that results in my death seconds later. Consider that it can kill most other players in one go, and has no charge up... eh. Also, 2) it's overpowered because now, being easier to use than the rifle, more people decide they want to play as sniper, so you get less players being useful. And let's be frank: it's not a death match game (barring Arena). It's objective based, and snipers are either too busy being snipers, or busy getting gunned down. Despite its ability to get easy kills it shortens the snipers life and makes them even less useful.

At least, that's my experience with it.

The Razorback is useless. Plain and simple.

Jarate is the best weapon of the update, although I don't like being without the SMG too much. if I use Jarate I don't even snipe because I act more as a support unit either putting out flames, or helping my team get mini crits.

Cloak and dagger is equally good, Dead Ringer... I personally don;t like it, and haven't tried the Ambassador.
