Whacha think?

I think it is. It seems like (by playing against it) it might be a little OP. I don't know...but it seems like you are sure to die within 2 arrows. It also seems very noob friendly, ie easy to aim.

I think by taking the HS out of it, it might be ok, but as of now, I feel its in need of a little nerf.

I dont think its so bad. If they miss, they die. They are squishies who get rolled on if you can catch them alone, or too far ahead. They are really only good when then have the cover of a few teammates ahead of them in a firefight.

It's fine. Considering the regular weapon can charge for even more powerful shots, crits on headshot also, and allows for you to be even further behind the scene of the action, the bow penalyzes you more for screwing up since you'll be closer to your enemy. I like how the pyro can light the arrows though.

It's fine, the sniper rifle does the same thing as the huntsmen. Except with the huntsmen, you trade in the scope for more speed.

There are a few other downsides to the huntsmen... The two big ones for me are you cannot prime a shot for very long or the arrow won't hit it's target and you have to lead the enemy if they are far away, so it is pretty bad at long range combat.

It's not as powerful, but it's really fun to use. The sounds it makes when it hits someone are just fantastic to me.

Aside: I seem to have an easier time leading scouts than hitting them with the rifle. That should not happen...

As a Sniper at heart (or so I like to think) I can honestly say I don't like it...

It did provide me with some entertainment when I pinned a Spy to a wall via his ass tonight. I just stood in front of the pinned ragdoll and snickered for a good 30 seconds or so :D
