I happen to love the widowmaker and would really love to see joey bring it back.It works real nice on large maps and is not a wasted summons.

i remember that gun! i am not sure of its effectiveness, but certainly for a summoned weapon for a newer person to use, it worked well. i am curious..is it essentially like a sniper rifle, but faster firing and no smoke, though immediately fast projectile strike to target?

I would like the widowmaker back it was a good gun on large maps.
The Avril is a waste of a good summons and you can't see any thing when you shoot it

you know, i was wondering about pus drop rate. is it coded that certain ones drop in certain probability per map? i have played a lot, and on maps where there are about 5-6 people max often. sometimes i see an inf from every other enemy, other times hardly any. and on wide open maps too where one can see almost anything happening.

earlier in night, i saw almost endless vorpals pop out...it was weird to say the least.

as for summoning, i am almost 100% certain that the avril and assault rifle summons are in there as a joke. knowing that people want to summon something nice, but wind up with those useless things instead X} they don't have to be included, yet they are. i know i would include them for this purpose, as a little amusement. personally, i do think they should be gone..but meh..no biggie.

all the other summons do have use, especially in some maps. mine layer may seem useless to many, for instance, but actually try it out sometimes and you'd be surprised how nice it can actually be.

The avril is fun. I get them all the time. You just toss them to people and tell them GL and have fun. LOL

I agree, there were a lot of good summons that were sadly taken out for whatever reason, but the shitty regular avril grenade launcher and assualt rifle were left on. It was one of the things that frustrated me most about all the new patching. If they wanted less summons than they should have left some of the less powerful guns that they took off alone, like the widow and plasma grenades also. This is just a side question, but did anyone else have other guns that were taken off that they miss? I cant think of any others but the plasma grenades were one of my favorites..
