teamfortress.com — The Sniper has been a tricky class to update. In particular, designing an alternative to the Sniper Rifle has been a challenge. To understand why, we need to go back, way back, into the mists of time, when dinosaurs roamed the earth, and we started working on TF2. If it helps, you can listen to the Doctor Who Theme while you read.

Well the author is exaggerating a bit, but not by much. Technically they started work on TF2 a little over a decade ago. But there have been various versions built by separate teams at Valve over time. At one point it looked like your regular everyday war fps, which was strange seeing as TFC was nothing like that.

I played Duke Nukem when I was 4-5, I remember getting yelled at for giving strippers money to take their tops off

Ah well I was just thinking shorter field of view = farther distance = longer charge time.

EDIT: I hope it's a shock rifle of some sort.
