Team Fortress 2 Bow Sniping

TF2 Bow Sniping

Often with shooters, there are certain gun mechanics that take me a while to really "get." I can get good with the guns, I can be decent at the concept, but I never get really good with it until I see enough other people excel at it.

This is, of course, how video game YouTube videos got so popular initially. YouTube was a great way to watch other people play games - like shooters - and to learn new ways to play and get better.

For me in Team Fortress 2, there are two main mechanics I've been struggling with - Sniping (with the Huntsman and Compound Bow) and Rocket Jumping as a Soldier. I've been practicing Rocket Jumping as I can, but after seeing enough videos from STAR_ and Jerma985, it suddenly clicked for me.

I didn't get to test it out until the next night, but thankfully that "click" was still there in my head. I played for 20 minutes to half an hour and got some good clips. They're not "SUPER MLG PRO" status, but they're good, clean headshot kills consistently that I was never able to pull off before.

I hope you enjoy :)

I certainly do recommend both STAR_'s and Jerma985's channels if you're looking for funny Team Fortress 2 videos. While I picked up what I needed for sniping from them, they actually make goofy comedy videos.
