Talk:Sniper

The Sniper's badge is not quite accurate. The entire background, other than a small team-colored ring, should be yellow. (I could provide a screencap from the SDK if necessary.) Dotchan 21:13, 25 November 2010 (UTC)dotchan

Trivia

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.)" Allukard 07:25, 3 December 2010 (UTC)

Bugs shouldn't really be listed in the trivia section, you could delete it and create a bugs section and list the bugs there.Jarhead 04:16, 5 December 2010 (UTC)Jarhead

Little outfit changes.

Should it be noted that Sniper is the only class to have actual outfit changes with weapon switches?(Huntsman he'll get arrows added to his quiver, Sydney Sleeper the bullets will be changed to darts)CloudT 04:45, 25 December 2010 (UTC)

Also, (this is a really small outfit change) with Darwin's Danger Shield, he gets some small teeth around his belt that are attached to the sash that keeps the shield on him. Presumably crocodile teeth. Pierow 05:23, 7 March 2011 (UTC)Pierow

Nah sorry, I don't think that's noteable. GeminiViRiS Talk Contribs 05:26, 7 March 2011 (UTC)

Speculation for Sniper's first name

After thinking about it for a bit, I'm pretty sure Sniper's first name is Dick. Why? Well, "Crocodile" Dundee's name is Mick Dundee. Swap the first two letters, and you have Dick Mundee! Ha, fool proof. Not to mention that a lot of sniper players are dicks! ^{[citation needed]} Oh yeah, I'm on the ball right now. SilverHammer 00:31, 24 May 2011 (UTC)

That...makes absolutely sence! It's an awesome theory, but obviously we can't add it, yet. So...Deeck Mundy, Sniper's name. Next one better be Scout's! GianAwesome 00:46, 24 May 2011 (UTC)

This logic is foolproof. It's basically canon now. Right on. -- Babygirl 00:48, 24 May 2011 (UTC)

In the future, please don't spam up mainspace talks with this kind of thing. -Shine 00:50, 24 May 2011 (UTC)

As an Australian myself, I initially jumped to the conclusion that his name forms a hideous pun: Barry. Barry Mundy. Your extremely cheesey reasoning has not dissuaded me from this theory. Just something to consider. Jish 11:58, 30 May 2011 (UTC)

I've been wondering, the outdated wiki listed his name as Richard Mundy, don't know where this name came from. Maybe anyone has any information about this? Trent Easton 09:09, 15 November 2011 (PST)

That's just because Dick is a shortened form of Richard. Anyway, let's keep this discussion on the forums shall we? » Cooper Kid (blether) • (contreebs) 10:29, 15 November 2011 (PST)

General Cleanup tag?

Any specific reason why this article is tagged as needing to be cleaned up? It seems pretty good to me. Cloventt 22:04, 25 June 2011 (PDT)

It doesn't need to be cleaned up. - NameUser 22:40, 25 June 2012 (PDT)

Which City in Australia?

Well, I'll have to assume that the Sniper is from Adelaide, a city in South Australia, after I saw this flyer:

Should we also assume that the Spy is a duke, and the Prime Minister? » Cooper Kid (blether) • (contreebs) 11:24, 13 February 2012 (PST)

Ohh, nooo. I see your argument. So I guess he isn't from Adelaide...— The preceding unsigned comment was added by Foxontherails (talk) • (contribs) 02:34, 14 February 2012

About the Snipers speed

Isn't he slightly faster when zoomed in with the Sydney Sleeper compared to other sniper rifles? — The preceding unsigned comment was added by Dawngaward (talk) • (contribs) 11:00, 15 February 2012

Not as far as I know. » Cooper Kid (blether) • (contreebs) 03:32, 15 February 2012 (PST)

There should be a new sniper?

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. Erak606 18:27, 13 March 2012 (PDT)

Bazaar bargain minor error

Right now the description for the bazaar bargain says '+ 10 charge increase per second'. 'Charge rate increases by 10%' seems better in my opinion. Same story for the penalty applied whem missing. It's a minor fix, but I still thought I should post it here rather than fixing it right away. K-Raider NL 05:06, 9 April 2012 (PDT)

We reflect the description as it appears in-game; if Valve doesn't change it, neither do we. r4wrzSwagmaster 05:08, 9 April 2012 (PDT)

Quote at top

Isn't it "I guarantee you won't go angry"? I've noticed this a long time ago, never bothered to comment, but it sounds like 'angry' in the movie ot me, and 'angry' makes sense to me. EvilJackCarver 12:17, 25 June 2012 (PDT)

It's just the Sniper's accent that causes him to not pronounce the 'h' in hungry. Blazios 12:20, 25 June 2012 (PDT)

Possible trivia piece?

While messing around in Source Filmmaker, I saw what seems to be a bruise on Sniper's right thumbnail. Is this real, or were my textures screwing up? If it is real, is it interesting enough to put in the trivia? Sigoshi 21:10, 21 November 2012 (PST)

Care to take a screen shot? I'd like to see as well. (SFM won't open for me D:) Ashes 21:14, 21 November 2012 (PST)

Trivia/Bug

One of his achievements Is based off a movie I think its enemy at the gate, also the sniper wears 1 glove in 3rd person but 2 in 1st, this may be a possible bugMonkeyking240 15:13, 11 April 2013 (PDT)

Please make a new topic and not under a discussion that ended 2 years ago. Secondly, Those aren't notable for either trivia or bug. Ashes 15:19, 11 April 2013 (PDT)

Darwin's Danger Shield special abilities are incorrect

It shows the +25 hp but not the bullet damage resistance or the vulnerability to explosive damage that was added in the last patch. I'd update it myself but I can't figure out how to edit the line Class weapons table sniper secondary. The stats show correctly on the Danger Shield's own page.
