The Huntsman: Sounds a lot like the Sandman, which was horrible and still is horrible.
I hope they learned from their mistakes, and the arrow doesn't further ruin the game.

Any experienced sniper will tell you how irritating it is when your targets keep moving around. The question is how to stop these cheaters from wind-sprinting around like they own the place. And the answer is to pin them to a wall. How? With arrows!I took this as slowing down enemies, or completely stopping them, in the case of pinning them to a wall.

And even if you don't kill them, they'll carry around a certain arrow-shaped something as a living testament to your awesome archery skills and their frankly unawesome dodging skills.To me it just sounds like the killing shot will pin them to the wall, like Half-Life 2's crossbow.

Payload race looks to be a lot of fun, especially because the carts will roll immediately back down if not touched.It also explains why the scout update's BONK background had two payload tracks.
The two arena maps are disappointing. No one plays the crappy gametype, so I don't get why they're pushing it.Arena's OK, but not so central on what TF2 is about. Then again, noone plays TF2 as an actual TEAM, so maybe area's existance is justifyed.
That sounds pretty useful to me, especially for a sniper.Something tells me you don't play enough TF2.
The two watches sound pretty fucking awesome, honestly. They brought back the feign death from TFC. Epic.How will that work? will the spy ragdoll, or do a ragdoll-like animation? If it's an animation, it may not work for long.
A second update that soon with THAT much content? This can't be right, not for Valve.
They've obviously canceled all other projects.They have obviously forgotten about Episode 3.
I wonder if that 'LEAKED VIDEO' sign was there in the one 'released' over the weekend.Just checked. It wasn't. Can't make out what was there originally.
