Overwatch Fan Reacts to How it FEELS To Play Sniper (Team Fortress 2)

[@ChocolateKieran]

2000 likes and we'll react to the NEXT How it FEELS to play! The video before this will be up on my Uncut channel so go check that out, it'll be up soon! SORRY its been taking so long to get the gameplay video up for Heavy and Scout by the way, it'll be here soon!

[@HenriqueMuit]

@Its_NiaDior_2 It'd be cooler if he finished watching all the how it feels videos first! Not cool to cut the Saga

[@JollyRancher-ub3nx]

The bunny head that scout was wearing is called “max’s head” and every class can wear it

[@milkcake_78]

@ChocolateKieran , Can you reac to *EMESIS BLUE* ? it's a verigud movie in tf universe

[@KOCYK745]

Sniper is easy for this who know what to do and Huntsman(sniper with bow equiped) requires only bow knowledge (also aiming skills) and remember to do unexpected attacks (as both)

[@HeavensBane53]

I probably won't be the first comment saying this, but make sure you also check out the extra videos in lazy's "how it feels to play" series. They are essentially companion videos with a lot of behind the scenes as well as stuff he couldn't fit into the main video and are all a blast to watch, as well as add on nicely to the main video on top.

[@Kaltsit-]

I honestly feel like the Pyro behind the scenes video was the best. It’s my opinion though so.

[@NukeBooters]

[@ChocolateKieran]

Oh I am don't worry! Throwing those on the uncut channel, but this channel I'm mor einterested in the gameplay to help me learn to play 😁 Reacted to how it feels to suffer in SFM yesterday so I'll throw that up soon

[@wingidon]

​@ChocolateKieran So, the videos aren't on the Uncut channel any more for one reason or another, do you have any plans of re-uploading them anywhere or are they staying gone?

[@PrivateSparky]

Sniper was introduced as an Australian and he was raised and grew up in Australia, but the comics later revealed that his birth parents were from New Zealand.

The sniper has a bow and arrow that still has the crit on headshot, but it removes the whole "scope in and snipe from afar" part

[@rafaelcosta8291]

The playstile with bow and arrow is lucksman

[@TheRoboKitty]

It also sort of removes the whole "head" part, you can just shoot the arrow and the game engine will find some excuse to make the arrow crit. It's kind of ridiculous

12:43 They technically could, but that would take way too many shots. That job falls to Pyro, whose flamethrower can spycheck an entire group using very little ammo.

[@ChocolateKieran]

Gotcha, that makes a ton of sense!

[@arandomhashbrown3756]

​@ChocolateKieran I don't know of people have commented this to you but Sniper can literally throw a jar of piss to enemies and reveal Spies that way

[@mostdefinitelynotadurian]

​@@ChocolateKieran although their will be times when you would have to spy check by yourself, and can't rely on pyros all the time. The best way to spy check as sniper is either using the jarate (like what the comment above mention) or the smg to pepper every potential hiding spots for spies.

[@96whatsup]

In my experience, those 25 shots in reserve are plenty for spychecking and opponents, even 10 shots left will get ya far.

[@aganaom1712]

8:46 if you're a good enough sniper, your positioning doesn't matter at all. that being said, knowing where to stand as a sniper is still quite important so being able to stand somewhere and not have to worry about what's going on around you is very helpful 13:13 yes, the razorback prevents taking damage from a single backstab. it's looked down upon as an awareness crutch and several groups of people consider it to be a particularly toxic item to the game since it's usually agreed that spy is the weakest class already so the razorback kind of just adds insult to injury. other options are generally seen as more useful overall

[@rafaelcosta8291]

Also, spy has a gun

[@EnderBuilder]

8:31 Sadly, no... Sniper is kind of OP in TF2. Rifle reloads fast as hell, ammo is never a issue 'cause he has a bunch and he can quickscope most classes faster than you can blink, like this 13:59. Even his OWN counters. So a good Sniper usually dominates almost the entire enemy team.

[@nathanwilkins6107]

So that bunny hat is Max from Sam and Max, an old point and click series. The characters were featured in a valve made poker game that gave you the hat in tf2 if you bought it called Poker Night at the Inventory. You can’t get it anymore due to licensing stuff so it’s sort of a status symbol now.

[@sybils-butler-bentley]

[Insert Nerd Emoji here.] Time to correct a couple of things, while Sam & Max do have a couple of Point 'n' Click games, they got their start in comics. And Poker Night in The Inventory (made by Telltale Games) was how you got the Lugermorph and a cosmetic which is a badge. The Max's head is actually a preorder bonus that was given if you preordered Sam & Max: The Devil's Playhouse.

[@vectorizlit4083]

Thanks for making most of you uploads on the weekend so I can watch these man

[@ChocolateKieran]

No problem, thank you for watching 😁

[@DatBoiChucklez]

13:00 to answer your question about the razorback, it is a single use item (you can get it back by returning to a resupply cabinet or die) that blocks one backstab from an enemy spy. As Snipers are usually scoped in, they get serious tunnel vision, making them easy targets for spy backstabs. Hope this helped.

[@phantomshotgun9223]

A spy conga's and when you joined, he back stabbed you? That's bad manners, bro. that goes against the TF2 Gentalmann rules. never kill a taunting player. (unless it'll be funny) Same for killing Friendly Heavies. (except don't kill them and protect them)

[@skyseeker-art]

potential reaction suggestion: Emesis Blue some others mentioned it before me in the live chat, and i agree that it would be a super interesting react! kind of a long one, though, seeing as it's pretty much a movie.

[@TKmeh]

I’ll start this off by saying I’m a sniper main with over 200 hours just as him, just like lazy said, he’s a very personal class that thrives when you’re thriving and paying attention. There’s like a few different ways to shoot and aim as sniper, lazy switched his main style from flick aim (which is inconsistent without muscle memory) to guitar hero aim (which is very consistent as long as you know the maps). Flick aim is exactly as he was doing, predicting the class movements and flicking your aim to where you think it’ll be and firing. It’s not consistent if you aren’t good at predicting and can leave you with over or under compensating the shot. Advice: this takes lots of practice and game sense, even a 2000 hour sniper isn’t so hot at it. Whenever I see myself doing this, I swap to either scout or soldier to retrain my aim because of their main weapons relying on flicking less. Guitar hero aim is essentially what he explained, waiting for the opponents to cross you line of sight and shooting when you have a target. Just like in guitar hero, you see the target come or in advance you press the fret before strumming hence the name. It’s very consistent but relies on your game knowledge and sense as well as your teams protection and your positioning. It’s very similar to fishing aim (hiding your dot and flicking to a head when you see it cross your sight line) but slightly different simply because guitar hero aim doesn’t rely on surprise and hiding the crosshair but just simply anticipating the opponents movements. It’s one of the first aim styles lots of snipers switch to but have a hard time with as TF2 is really chaotic, I’m not too good at this myself but a good way to train your aim for this is to play as heavy, demo, and scout as they rely on this aim style a lot as well. Fishing aim is just a better version of guitar hero aim, hiding your dot in a spot you think the enemy will come from and snapping to a head when it’s in your sight line then firing, especially useful in larger maps with some cover. It’s one of the first styles most snipers start utilizing quickly once they learn about it, my only advice for this one is to play often and take note of where the enemies come from or watch other KZbinrs who have good game sense (lazy himself, uncle Dane, and soundsmith come to mind) and take notes of what they talk about during rounds. Thanks for showcasing my favorite game to so many new people, I’m glad you enjoy playing it despite its many flaws! With love, a sniper main. And sorry it’s super long, like lazy said, there’s a ton of nuance with sniper but it’s also very personal nuance.

sniper was born in New Zealand, but was raised in Australia since an infant, so really either is valid

About the medic at the start, the classes have special animations that play when dying to a headshot or demoman’s sword-like melees. Medic’s has his writhe back holding his face (or lack thereof) and falling forward. It was just cut short to keep tempo with the scene and music.

[@ismailaziz3893]

super difficult . especially when you're up against a competent sniper on the other team . My advice would be to prioritize finding and sniping the other team's sniper before trying to pick off other classes . Try switching locations after sniping the enemy sniper since all snipers tend to have a grudge against their killer and snipe them to even the score .

[@HybridTwisterVR0979]

Fun fact: The hat that the Scout is wearing at the beginning is Max’s Severed Head. Max is the Bunny/Lagomorph from Sam and Max and he appears in a Poker Game as a crossover with various other characters (Heavy being one of them). In both Night at the Inventory games, it was possible to obtain two items: Sam’s gun and Max’s head as gear. You cant get them now by normal means cause both games got delisted and if you see someone using it, it either means they have both games or they pay a huge amount of money for it in trade websites

Playing Sniper in any game is far LESS about mechanics and far MORE about map knowledge and positioning. For Widowmaker on Temple Anubis 1st (for example), you're taking long as fuck sightlines where you can see the first chokepoint, but can dip behind cover and/or be given a Zen's harmony orb if your opponent tries to challenge you. If they go wide as fuck to try and flank you from second side, you can grapple over top of the point to the other side and not only are you able to cover where you used to be, but you have a sightline into the side room next to the elevated plateau, so you can one shot supports and DPS that are positioned behind the enemy tank, on the mega health pack. Sniping mechanics aren't especially hard either, you just HAVE to meet the baseline requirements, as you do nothing if you don't hit ANY headshots - while a Demo or Soldier will still get splash damage, Heavy can still weaken an enemy if they have subpar tracking and Engie will make whole areas dangerous for the opponent to enter (the Sentry's area denial functions as a slow sniper with limited range). It's why I never tell people to start new games with sniper characters - no matter how good their mechanics are, they won't have the map knowledge or gamesense to back it up.

8:29 actually, be default, the sniper’s shots don’t reveal his position as he doesn’t have tracer rounds/visible lines in the same way that widowmaker does (aside from a couple of unlockable weapons with this as their downside) while the killcam still reveals your position, it will be at a slower rate than visible tracer rounds

Howdy, just to explain the whole Sniper thing: He was born in New Zealand but the country was about to sink into the ocean due to his father being dumb. So they ended up accidentally sending him in a rocket to Australia. (Accidentally because both of his parents would have rather saved themselves but the rocket only had room for one person). And when he landed in Australia he was raised by a nice couple there. That is why he is actually rather small for an Australian (in the context of TF2) he isn’t one by blood. In one of the comics when he realizes he isn’t from Australia he actually has a moment when he says, “that’s why I never wanted to brawl with any of the neighbor kids, I’d rather climb a tree and throw rocks at them.” (Probably not an exact quote, going off memory here).

[@drucy.]

The Razorback blocks one backstab attempt. If a Spy backstab a Razorback, the Razorback itself will break and the Spy won't be able to attack or switch weapons for the next 2 seconds. The Razorback have a recharge time of 30 seconds, but you can also get a new one by going to the Resupply Locker in spawn. The Razorback also has a stat of preventing the Sniper using from getting overheal. That's because in Highlander (9v9 competitive game mode where each team has only one player of each class), the Razorback made the Sniper too oppressive. By standing near en Engineer nest and having a Medic pocket you, you'd invalidate both of Sniper's main counters : Spies and other Snipers. Spies couldn't backstab you, and shooting you when a Sentry watches your back is suicide. Meanwhile, the Medic overhealing you would give you 185 hp ; well above the 150 damage a quickscope headshot deals, which would normally kill a non-overhealed Sniper (125 hp). And usually, in Sniper vs Sniper, a quickscope is all you really have the time to do.

4:32 - 4:34 As a person who likes to play sniper class in most video games I am pretty good, it is both fun and not fun playing as that class mainly because killing a person when they don't expected from about as far away as possible is always funny, but crap gets real heated when one of these two things happen, first and the most likely thing to happen is a Sniper vs Sniper when two or more good snipers fight against each other it becomes the most epic thing anyone has ever witnessed, giving somebody an L or taking an L will either make your day or ruin your whole day... The second thing is when the game devs decide to Nerf the sniper rifle that One-Shots people for an example in Warface you have access to an Barrett sniper rifle the one that's made to shoot through tanks and let's be clear to get the sniper rifle that one shots is always very difficult no matter what game so them nerfing the sniper rifles is the equivalent of giving us a reskin of the default Sniper rifle now we have to try just as hard as we did when we first started the game all because some people with skill issues complained about weapon we use being "OP"

3:24 Countering Sniper in TF2 is a pain. As such, I have recommendations. Scout: Sneak up on him and shoot him in the back, or if you're not JUST going for that sniper, I'd recommend the Wrap Assassin. Great for annoying him. Soldier: Sneak up on him or use the Charge Shot of the Cow Mangler, but not when they're actively sniping because you'll get your head taken off. Also feel free to spam rockets at them every once in a while, that 40 damage or so certainly does wonders on their morale. Pyro: Secondaries or sneaking up. Scorch Shot, Detonator, and Flare Gun are what I would recommend. Flare Gun is the one I usually have equipped but not for dealing with sniper, for SNIPER they deserve to suffer. Scorch Shot all the way they ain't dodging that one unless they get out Engineer: Sneak or Wrangler. Those are your only options. I'd suggest you DON'T fight snipers if you can get away with it. Medic: Sneak or Crossbow. Those are your only options. I'd _majorly_ suggest you DON'T fight snipers if you can get away with it Sniper: Dude why are you sniper... whatever, just click on their heads before they click on yours... Demo, Heavy, Spy: Sneak up on them or find a good place to snipe them if you can't get up close. (Demo can also use stickies to make sure they can't react) Anyways, as for sneaking up, snipers have a guaranteed 195 damage melee and also a NEARLY guaranteed 195 damage melee. That is to say... their stock melee has a VERY high random crit rate because of the amount of damage they deal. So even if you're up close, you're not safe. Sniper OP... *and you certainly know that when most bots are sniper* Pyro is the best choice if you're sneaking up. You can Airblast them and nullify literally anything they can do because they either have to shoot you in the head, which does 150 with no charge on the meter, and Pyro has 175 HP, or they have to melee you which isn't a smart play half the time. Also feel free to just have Shotgun on pyro when countering sniper. Eventually they'll learn and put on a gator's hide on their back which gets rid of 90% Fire damage or something, so... You just shoot them at that point. 4:40 Good practice for the aim comes in MvM. Community servers are wonderful. Would recommend Community Server MvM. In fact, I even got good/okay with the Loose Cannon on Demoman because of MvM. It's not EXACTLY the same but you get to practice and then go "Wait so players move like this so if I incorporate THAT then I just learned to aim!" 5:41 *I will wipe that look of pride right off your stupid face myself if you pick sniper.* Okay I'm not that good but I'll certain test my luck once or twice and make fun of you in chat if you miss. I literally only play Defense anymore unless it's safe that's how much I hate sniper 11:01 Tried this advice Didn't help. Got better. Got a LOT better. I still cannot hit a shot to save my life.

I think when I was a kid I taught myself to move my gun faster than the person moving and shoot when I know well enough where they’re going to go

"only YOU can see the shots you miss" _why i dont use the machina_

[@Teixas666]

6:10 sorta? this is because a good sniper present a one shot threat ot 5/9 classes and 2 of these classes(snipers and medics) are your priority targets you are willing ot die to secure a kill on them. 13:25 yes it does however its visible on the sniper and spies od have a gun that can 3 shot or potentially 2 shot the sniper.

Your references are the same as mine, I’m dead

As any class you can shoot teammates to see if they're a spy, aka spy checking. But the thing is, it's a bit hard to tell since most weapons are hitscan and it can be hard to listen for hit confirmation sounds if there's battle nearby, and explosive weapons can give away your position or cause self damage. For example, I used to main medic and was practicing using the crusader crossbow (a needle gun that can heal teammates if you're too far to use a medigun but can still damage enemies). I see a scout calling for a medic and I shot at him a few times. Didn't realize he was a spy until he dropped dead just as I took out the medigun.😅 The task of spy checking is usually left to pyros since the fire effects and airblasts only work on enemies.
