I tried out sniper last night and it was totally fine.

If you still want to jump, you have to time it perfectly with the moment you are shooting and it STILL works. I honestly had no problems with this update so far.

Did this really need to be fixed? I don't believe I've heard anyone say it was broken. Yes, it's silghtly harder to hit a sniper who is crouch-jumping, but if you play the game for more than 30 minutes you can easily adjust your aim to hit his hitbox. Spamming crouch (a maximum of two times) does make it more difficult to headshot a sniper, but you can simply wait for him to touch the ground.

For me jumping wasn't about making my hitbox harder to hit, but surfing explosive dmg and more importantly awareness. I may not notice something important (flanking or hidden player, etc.) in the <1 second unscope time.

BetaMasterKuniBecause jumping after every sniper shot is the apex of skill
Completely agree, I'm surprised at some of the comments regarding snipers jumping,

Do people actually still do that? It's far more beneficial not to jump as it allows getting a quicker shot off.

If anything, jumping only ever worked for the higher ping players whilst spinning anyhow.

So that means Pain train extra damage isn't increased by crit? Otherwise it would do 495 damage.
Also he didn't shoot a demo it was a soldier that he shot for 465...
