Title: Let's discuss the Engineer update.
Post by: GilloD on July 09, 2010, 11:13:57 PM
Moving buildings changes the entire game and for the better. The set-up/take-down time is totally fair. I like when your team tries to defend the turret you're setting up. SO fun.

Also, overnight the Spy became the game's most important class.

Wait. You can move buildings now?
Title: Re: Let's discuss the Engineer update.
Post by: GilloD on July 09, 2010, 11:46:13 PM
Yeah. Anything built can be packe dup and moved. You move slower with a packed building and the set-up time is kind of long, so it's not like you can run around dropping a Level 3 sentry anywhere you feel like.

Oh by buildings I thought you meant actual BUILDINGS.

only thing I have to discuss is just now realizing I should have taken advantage of the achievement map the gaf server last night instead of running around confused for 40 minutes

but yeah, great update.  Engineers are way more offensive now, and considering that is the class I played the most as, I think it will make things way better.

You can run up your first milestone in like 30 minutes easy.

I'll just try and get them naturally, even though some of them are unnatural and need planning.  The ability to move things alone is a big change, let alone controlling them and mini-turrets.

fuck achievement maps

the one on the gaf server was so bizarre.  there were rooms that were built to hurt you and giant columns of water floating in the air.

Demo and Engi are the two classes I've yet to try.  :(

Engineer is the most fun class, especially if you can't aim like me.

I hate it. So fucking much. But I haven't gotten the Wrangler yet.

And yes, you should play more, Scar. GAF server is cool.

I tried it. Never felt like I was really doing anything. I tried every class.

I lolz0red at Linkzg's comment, but Cajole's got the right attitude. I love playing Medic. Everyone's happy to see you.

Pyro is TF2's God Class, all other classes are inferior.

Backburner pyros are losers.

Compression blast pyros are great.

Exactly. Those who do are great. Sending back rockets is super fun.

Compression blast pyro here. I also like blasting people off ledges.

Compression blasting an uber medic off a ledge on a payload map away from his healee is one of my greatest joys in TF2.

The new Hightower map has an area where pyros just camp and wait to blast people off the edge. It's annoying as fuck.
Title: Re: Let's discuss the Engineer update.
Post by: cool breeze on July 14, 2010, 01:59:03 AM
I always thought the demoman was the best class.  I don't like playing as it unless I go around with the sword, but two seconds after deploying a sentry these sticky grenades show up out of nowhere to blow it up.

When I first got the game I figured medic would be like some other FPS games where you had a good weapon and could heal yourself, making it the best class

:fbm

Since I suck at aiming, I play medic and demoman

Post by: Raban on July 16, 2010, 02:39:05 PM
I'm loving the Engie update, been playing a fuck-ton every day. Demoman to counter Engie-spam is :lol

Don't really like Hightower, haven't played enough of Thunder Mountain. Upward and Coldfront are omg so good.

My main classes are Pyro/Scout/Sniper, and I love Pyro, haters can DIAF (literally :teehee). Pyro is constantly getting nerfed so it's getting harder and harder to play a good Pyro.

Also, why do people keep recommending Medic to new players? Saw that shit on WYL and it made me smh. Medic is the most important class in the game in most game modes, don't tell noobs to handle that responsibility! Soldier is the noob-friendly class, not Medic.

Compression Pyro is still the most fun class in the game.  Sending rockets back into the face of dumb soldiers.  :punch
Title: Re: Let's discuss the Engineer update.
Post by: pilonv1 on July 16, 2010, 08:58:35 PM
Medic is a good learning class because you can just run behind people and learn the levels. You'll probably stay alive a bit longer.

Armitage is right though, a good medic is usually the difference in most games.

What exactly does "pocket medic" refer to?

Ah. I usually just wait to hear who's screaming for one.
Title: Re: Let's discuss the Engineer update.
Post by: CajoleJuice on July 20, 2010, 08:01:23 PM
A pocket medic is one who sticks with one other player exclusively, usually soldier or heavy.

This is what I do, pretty much.
