A tranquiliser rifle: No charge up, multi-shot clip. One shot slows, two shots immobilises for a few seconds (headshot counts as two). It'd be interesting, to say the least.
Oh god. Do you really think that we need another "sandman" fiasco?
The Sandman is no fiasco.

Mrgh... I've stopped playing for awhile due to the Sandman. It unbalances things by making a melee weapon a melee/ranged weapon, and then giving it the uberstop. I can understand it, but the ability to stop ubers can effectively ruined the point of having them if the other team has at the very least a competent Scout. Thus there are fewer Medics, which was already a scarce class at times.

As for the Sniper update: this will effectively have me abandon TF2 for a month or so. I hate Snipers, and play Spy a lot because I get great satisfaction out of killing them. Then again, this'll do wonders for my Spy stats... maybe I won't go after all. It'll just be dissappointing to see teams of 12 snipers trying to rush a map is all.

Isn't there Grey Matter? (I play it for 360) I thought they didn't give consoles the patches and DLC's because Microsoft wouldn't let them do it for free.
Actually it is because believe it or not TF2 pretty much uses up every memory resource the 360's got. The new weapons push it over so valve is trying to find ways to cut back on it. Check tf2.com to find out about the development, as infrequently updated as it is.

Grey matter, while only achievable as a sniper, is technically a general achievement. The sniper achievement pack will be released with the sniper updates.

As for the DLC, It was also delayed because the original TF2 without updates already pushed the hardware limits of the XBox360. This is being rectified somehow and the XBox 360 update "should be just after American tax day", so expect it some time within the next 2 to 3 years. The PS3 on the other hand, for reasons unknown to me, will not be receiving said update, leaving owners of the PS3 version sitting sadly in a corner with no updates.

The only achievment that involves the sniper is Grey matter (25 total headshots.)

Valve only announced that the Sniper was next a few days ago. It'' be at least a month/couple of months before anything actually materialises (beyond that Jarate poster which may or may not be real ).

Be patient.
The Jarate poster hints that the sniper's new second slot weapon will involve throwing his own urine at the enemy.

The Jarate poster was unveiled on April the First.

I'd say there's a pretty high chance that's not going to be happening then...

As for 12-man sniper teams in the days after the update, that will be a little annoying for a while, but hey, as Scott said, play the spy and take advantage. Personally, I still have achievements for the Medic, Pyro, Heavy AND Scout that need unlocking, so I'm in no hurry to grind the Sniper too.

Predictions-

Crazed Gunman: With regular sniper rifle, fire all 25 shots within one minute (leaving aprox. .5 seconds between shots, after the animation)

Reach out and touch someone: In one match, have your combined kill distance exceed 10 miles (or something)

That's not a knife: Kill a spy with your kukri after he has stabbed you.

Back and to the left: Head shot someone while they are standing on the payload (bad taste?)

I don't really want the Sniper turning into the next Scout: I hope Valve makes something balanced.

I'm pretty sure Jarate was just a April Fools' joke, however.

Boo hiss boo.

Give the stupid soldier his achievements first. I want a rawket launcher that sends people flying twice as far and does 20% less damage.

Suppression!

That reminds me of how people always do some opening gambit in TF2 so sometimes its all heavy or scout. But once everyone on my team went spy at the begining of 2Fort and backstabbed the entire team simultaneously, twas funny. But I would like a new sniper rifle or something, I may not be good at sniper but it is enjoyable, especially when you get the accidental no-scope.

I liked those two very much. I can't wait to hear all the delicious puns in the titles ^_^

I was about to ask "elaborate", but hey it sounds cool.

Since they haven't released the Trophy list, lets make our own!.
