Would actually be quite good to be able to throw urine at a spy to stop him being able to cloak up or mask.

I thought NZ was the little island off the coast of Australia?

It's past 12.00pm so it could be valid.

I was looking for a Valve April Fools Joke

If it is for real, then I would be slightly disappointed if it was another weapon at paralysing opponents as shown in the little form. Don't need another copy of the Scout's Sandman Boink.

April Fools' Day or All Fools' Day, although not a holiday in its own right, is a notable day celebrated in many countries on April 1. The day is marked by the commission of hoaxes and other practical jokes of varying sophistication on friends, family members, enemies, and neighbors, or sending them on a fool's errand, the aim of which is to embarrass the gullible. Traditionally, in some countries, the jokes only last until noon: like UK, Australia, New Zealand, Canada and South Africa, someone who plays a trick after noon is called an "April Fool".[1] Elsewhere, such as in Ireland, France, and the USA, the jokes last all day.

I never knew up until I was about 13.

Yup, full of Orcs

Would be nice to see another TF2 update.

platypus · 2 Apr 2009 at 09:38

Certainly needs a sniper pack.

PoD · 2 Apr 2009 at 13:14

Bouncing Bullets or invisible bullets
Claymore
Camo (Blend not cloak)
Better sniper map

That is what I would suggest

platypus · 2 Apr 2009 at 13:23

Invisible bullets? What?

JIM_BOB7813 · 2 Apr 2009 at 13:50

They will probably do something like faster charging but less accurate gun.
Would be nice if it had some sort of rear-view mirror for when you are scoped up.

the best idea for sniper i've seen on the steam forum..

replace the SMG with a pin up poster.

once you pin this up, the death cam will zoom in on that, instead of you

if the enemy shoots it, it removes it.

platypus · 2 Apr 2009 at 14:10

Why is that a good idea? Oh I see what you mean. Yeah that is a good idea.

Noooo! Snipers are evil enough as they are without being able to see where they shot from with the killcam.

bledd · 2 Apr 2009 at 15:14

well it's one of the more 'likely to be included' type ideas

whereas other people would suggest... "kit the sniper out with an awp, deagle and flashbang" etc...
