Engineer update

[Cortexian]

Yeah. You couldn't have looked it up?

I don't play TF2 much so I don't know any of the good resources. Figured it would of been better to just ask here since you're mostly competent gamers that know what's what.

Uh, Google: TF2 Crafting Blueprints

So there's a 3-second window of opportunity for sapping/destroying after killing the Engineer, provided it's under control.

I wonder what the field of vision is on The Wrangler, and how fast it turns. I also wonder how far away you can be from the Sentry while still using it. It sounds like a great trade-off for selective spy-checks and high-value-target focusing, at the cost of having an exposed backside.

I guess it also requires you to leave your sentry temporarily vulnerable when switching out to reload it, unless you form a system of having two Sentries and two Engineers, one controlling his Sentry, while the other manages the ammo for both. You can still do that, right? Reload a team-mate's Sentry? Or was that just upgrading them?

The wrangler is a cool idea but I do not like the huge health bonus to the sentry. That's going to be a pain in the ass.

[ICEE]

it distracts the engineer and immobilizes the sentry for 3 seconds while the engineer is controlling it. It will also cause sentries to burn through ammo much faster. A solo engineer will be very vulnerable to spy attacks, methinks. However all other means of destroying the sentry will be much less effective.

[Inferno]

But spamming rockets is the best strategy for killing sentries!

[ICEE]

valve has altered the deal. Pray they do not alter it further

You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to ICEE again.

Fuck.

Fuck.

Got em for ya.
