The ever-entertaining TF2 blog has been updated with a bit more info on the sniper update. Looks like the sniper will be getting a new gun with a shorter range as an unlockable!

In an effort to reduce some of the aggravation that other players feel towards the Sniper, we chose the goal of designing an unlockable that encouraged the Sniper to get a little closer to his target. We want him to give up some of his primary advantage in return for something else, so that enemies he kills feel like they were engaged with them, and feel like they could have survived if they’d just managed to fight a little better.

That’s all we know aside from the pee jar but as soon as we find out more, you’ll be the first to know.

As an added bonus, they linked to a sweet 2D side-scroller version of the game called Gang Garrison 2. Check it out when you’ve got a few minutes to spare. The site is cute in an 8bit sort of way, and if you’re brave why not try the download?
