Fun with the Huntsman

Edit: I've now come to the conclusion that the Huntsman is ridiculously easy to use. I've reverted back to popping people in the face pointblank with the good ol' rifle.

Just a few clips for the people wondering who the Huntsman works/is, with a bonus at the end.

Basically, you start with an arrow on the bow, which you can draw back by holding down M1, and release by letting M1 go. M2 will reset the arrow back to it's resting position.

You can also taunt kill with it, in case you're wondering how to get the arrow stab achievement.

It doesn't have much drop, and goes pretty fast.
To hit someone from across the battlements, I think you'd have to put their head at the bottom of the default crosshair's bracket shapes.
But since I don't like hanging around on the battlements, I'm not too sure.

Bonus: Before yesterday's update, you could taunt-kill while cloaked/disguised.
Now you can't taunt at all while disguised, which is kind of annoying when you want to look around a corner..
Oh well.

Few side notes:
The epic music is "Hava Nagila" by Dick Dale.
All footage recorded in about 15 minutes on the Gravity Bong server, except for the Spy taunt kill, which was on the QuadAssassinZ server.
In case it's not obvious, I temp changed my name to "R. Kelly" because I was throwing jars of piss at people..

I used the Source Recorder ('record filename' in the console) to record Demos, then played the demos and recorded them using Fraps.

You must be forgetting that its slower than bullets. Almost useless in long distances. (Or for me at least...)

[zeldalink78]

as for me i find the huntsman impossible to use. the huntsman requres luck, and i have none >_>

[mogochoholow]

@eRRorTM0609

Pfft, no. I've gotten fantastic snipes with the Huntsman. For you, indeed

[amindex123]

snif* i mis my huntsman i made a crapy new sniper and i make the new sniper too a fish :¤[

[nhcre8tv1]

@clotheschair faster to backstab

[Ryuurik]

@deathrifle Force-a-Nature doesn't need skill to use, man.

But i agree with Dead Ringer. Once i got 108-1 kill/death with spy by tricking people with Dead ringer. He has one too, i "kill him", start "stalking for new victims" he stabs me, i dead ringer behind him when he's taunting and....stab stab stab.

It's so fun to use dead ringer. Also, it can save your ass so, SO many times.

[clotheschair]

why do spies make them self look like scouts its stupid u can obiously tell the speed of the scout and spy

[deathrifle]

the huntsman is just like the dead ringer or the force a nature

it doesnt suck if you know how to use it

[xboxedddddddddddd]

You can still taunt while cloaked. You just need to press the cloak and taunt button at the same time (starting off uncloaked).
