| − | == Trivia == | + | == Update history feels off == |
| − | An admin once told me that bugs concerning items or character's models shouldn't be listed on the Trivia section, so I was wondering if we should remove the last line of the Sniper's Trivia, which says "The Sniper's world model is only seen with a fingerless glove on his left hand, and a watch on his left arm, where all of his view models have a glove on both hands, and no watch. (Viewmodel_fov must be set higher to see the watch, or lack thereof.)" [[User:Allukard|Allukard]] 07:25, 3 December 2010 (UTC)

| | + | There are some entries in the update section that mentions updates to the Sniper class in general, but not to Sniper himself.<br> |
| | + | For example:<br><br> |
| | + | "December 22, 2009 Patch" - "Updated the Baseball and Jarate HUD indicators to stay on screen when full."<br> |
| | + | "June 18, 2014 Patch" - "The Bushwacka can no longer randomly crit." / "The Hitman's Heatmaker now activates focus by pressing 'reload'."<br><br> |
| | + | I don't believe this type of entry should be listed in the update history section. We should either:<br> |
| | + | - List all entries related to all changes done to Sniper (weapons changes, cosmetics changes etc.); |
| | + | - List only entries related to the Sniper himself, and not entries that are related to the class in general '''(I prefer this option)'''.<br/>[[User:Tiagoquix|<font color="#1e90ff">Tiagoquix</font>]] ([[User talk:Tiagoquix|<font color="#19c819">talk</font>]]) 16:53, 20 August 2024 (UTC) |

| − | Can we get a new sniper that would be able to use for quick-scoping? I know, this may sound stupid, but how about the charge would start from full when you first zoom in, then quick go down to 1% as you keep zoomed in. Maybe also you could decrease the scoping time for more effective quick-scoping? I just like CoD too, so that's why I want something in TF2 where you could quick scope. Maybe this could be something like a rush class for the sniper. [[User:Erak606|Erak606]] 18:27, 13 March 2012 (PDT)
