mods remove this if you're calorie-dense chuds

Just another small reason why Civvie is awesome. He interacts with his fans outside the videos.

"What if we deleted Sniper?" has been a question in the collective braincell of the TF2 playerbase for what I presume is a considerable length of time, if not since launch, and with things like Shounic's case study, debates on Sniper's class design at a fundamental level, servers implementing class limits, the occasional post bitching about him from the 4-hour pyro who got sniped one too many times coming out of spawn, and probably a few other bases I forgot to cover, I'm taking the concept a step further in the form of a small contest to see if the community can do any better than Valve did in 2007.

"What if instead of DELETING him, we REPLACED him?"

Do we even need to have someone filling Sniper's role? Or can we remove him without consequence and experiment elsewhere in a way that is not only more engaging for combat reasons, but also interacts with other classes beyond hiding in the shadows with a thumb up his ass and clicking on their unsuspecting heads. I'm asking the community to be creative, and perhaps grow a second collective braincell, what could we replace him with? There's a lot of directions we can take this and I'm willing to keep this series of threads going for a while as we bounce ideas off each other.

But wait, there's more - to further add interest, I recently forked the TF2 source code and I'm going to make a mod (think of something like TF2 Classified or Open Fortress) that adds the best idea into the game. Naturally that isn't all of course, we (and I do in fact mean we, more on that later) can sprinkle other additional bits into the game once we're done, every great sculpture started with one chip off the block after all.

Okay, not much later but still technically later, I wanna do more stuff like this going forward once this first project is done and out of the way, and ideally I get this sub and my discord server involved in future ideas. I already have a few things in mind to expand on unused potential and such, but all this is outside the scope of the above post.

Tl;dr: make a class to replace sniper, and I'll put it into a tf2 mod.

Her erratic movements at the end are deliberate and based on how they dodge your whiplash.
