Valve is helping campers?

Is there anyone who thought the same when they saw the new sticky launcher? It just wants you to wait for the enemy :sad:

[klossi]

and so what's the difference to the old one? sticky bombs were always intended to defend a choking point or cap or cart by waiting. too bad some people can't really aim with the nade launcher so they use stickies for actual combat.

Not sure yet, Scruga. We're gonna have to wait and see how it plays out when the update goes live.

The new sticky launcher allows you to fire more stickes as well as destroy other Demo's stickies. Also, you will be able to place multiple stickies and detonate them separately.

lol kap that was a rhetorical question :P it was more about how the sticky bomb launcher is intended to use. and they both have the same idea of how to be used

[Brains]

well the new launcher is more defensive. so yes, you can place 16 stickies wherever you want and detonate them by looking at the ones you want to blow up.
I can already see teams full of demos with 16 stickies each holding up control points and carts on defense....

or domino movies where demos detonate their stickies in a predetermined pattern to make some awesome looking patterns and stuff... :D

Omg more sticky balls!!!!!!!!!!1

you just HAVE to love this

[stewlounse]

I'm not in favor or turtling demos lol.

[Brains]

notice the little laser sight on the top of the barrel of the gun?!?!
well I think it's a laser sight so that it helps you chose which sticky nades to detonate!!!! AHHHH please valve, make it so!

[Scruga]

Just thought of a defensive disadvantage of this weapon. (btw it snows here :D). You can't place stickies on a point and leave just to see someone is on it using the HUD and then detonate them. Needing to see the stickies is a big disadvantage now that I think of it.

[stewlounse]

I love that fact. I hate the fact that a demo usually doesn't have to show his face to fight. Yah I'm a sticky hater.

[Brains]

you may need line of sight to detonate them but ya, that would be a HUGE blow to how the demo is played

[Kaplan]

lol kap that was a rhetorical question :P

Doh. 5am response.

If it is and if it's used for detonating stickies, I'd agree, that would be badass.

Kinda the reason why I have moved more toward playing Soldier than Demoman.

[Brains]

ahahah
the reason why valve will keep detonating the way it is!!!
YouTube- Cool Guys Don't Look At Explosions

no one ever looks at the explosion...period!

[Devant]

I like it. I can't tell you how many times i've killed a soldier who walked through my sticky trap just to have a pyro zoom in after him and wtfpwn me. Now I can lay multiple traps
