April Fools? or Sniper is next update... Monkey style

http://www.teamfortress.com/post.php?id=2391

Sniper possibly next update. Pee in a jar, (Jar + Karate = Jarate!) possibly an unlockable, will stun the receiver of the Pee.

There is nothing there that is out of the realm of possibility, therefore I'll reluctantly call it "not a hoax"

although the jar of pee might be the hoax, I can't see any reason why sniper wouldn't be next.

That would be brilliant, actually - drink coffee to get some health back, then a few seconds later get a jar to throw at somebody.

Are they leaving the good classes last just to piss people off? Just come out with the Demoman or Engineer update already.

I hope Sniper is next. The piss jar is a bit much, but I'd be cool with it as an unlockable.

Not to piss us off, to promote play of the (per your definition) "bad" classes. An interesting graph in the recent PC Gamer magazine showed a chart of play hours per class spanning back to the Medic update. The spikes are amazing. Play hours for the class spike to multiple times more hours during the update. None of them fell back to or below the previous baseline (meaning overall hours are going up). Even a small spike in Engi play after the Engi "Mini-update" (Adding tele and dispenser upgrades)

A bit off topic the magazine also had a graph of L4D sales during the discount periods spanning back to the presale. The %50 off weekend they had a few weeks ago sent sales soaring!

I'd like a spy or engie update just to see how Valve is going to "fix the problems".

You'll be waiting on the Engie for awhile, but honestly with the mini update, other classes would deserve the attention more.

I can't WAIT for this update.

The next class pack will focus on the Sniper. It's been a couple of weeks since we posted, so we thought it'd be good to do some housekeeping. The next class pack will focus on the Sniper. It's actually shaping up to be the largest TF2 update yet, with multiple new maps and a bunch of gameplay tweaks. In addition, we've got another update in the works that should be done before the Sniper, and that one will include some new content for all classes.

I can't see them giving a "grenade" type weapon to the sniper. Maybe they will allow for a faster recharge for a kill shot?

Yes, let's do that. Your profile rocks. It's amazing, you look just like Jay-Z but you're not, because you're too awesome to lie.
