as an engi, if you kill a good spy they make it personal and spend the rest of the round trying to get back at you and make your life miserable, in a way this is good for the rest of the team that now can run free and without worrying about that pesky spy.Acerac said:I stopped originally because of Meta. Now that he is slightly less active when I play it is much easier to use the class.

Wrangled minisentries on offense is awesome fun, just don't tell n0b you use the wrangler.

This is so dumb....Sgt.Pepper said:
why would you rather have one gun you have to aim to shoot at the enemy when it can autoaim and shoot FOR you and you can get a different angle on the enemy and force them to pick between you and the sentry?

I didn't say I do that all the time, but when the time comes it helps out. Like annoying the the shit out of Snipers or killing Heavies. Traps are more effective sure, but it is fun.
You can ask Boney when I joined him in a pub. =D

Well, I know 2 things to do tonight if I'm on your team.
The point of wrangled minisentries is not to be BETTER than normal sentry guns. I suspect the point of the huntsman is not to be BETTER than the sniper rifle, also.
The point, however, is that they are both fun to use. When you are bored of playing other classes, having an infinite range laser machine gun is amusing, and making snipers rage that mini sentries are OP and need a range nerf and need auto-aim removed is also fun.
Now, if you always want to help your team win, then you can have a bunch of uber demos or uber heavies, or have like 6 engineers all working together with a network of sentry nests and some pyros. But is that fun?
2fort can be fun without engineers. Or it can be defended quite effectively by lots of sentries. I suggest that fun is inversely proportional to the number of engineers in that situation, even though the engineers make sense defensively!

I second my alt.Togglesworlh said:
Also, you guys are really naive if you think a mini is going to stop a sniper from headshotting you. I've done it several times since you leave yourselves so vulnerable.
I also like the autoaim/shooting because it can throw off multiple enemies at the same time. Nothing messes up my aim more as an offensive class than when one of those minis shoots one bullet at me at the exactly right (in my case wrong) time.
There are definitely more situations and areas you can Wrangle than one can use the Quick Shits, but again, it's just kinda boring to play. I'm not even sure you can kill anyone by aiming yourself, it doesn't do enough dmg, and it just annoys them and puts your team down one player cause you ain't doing shit!

Some more videos 'cause I know you all love me so much:
The vast majority of the time my team wins Hightower, I die immediately before we cap. I'm going to die anyway. Why do you kill me? JERKS.
It is videos like this that make me painfully aware of the lag compensation issues. Replays are from the server's point of view, correct? (It's hard to tell, but I do kill the demoman before he falls into the pit.)
I've had better escape plans. Like, all of them. Were better. Than this. Because this one sucked.
This is proof that rocket-jumping is the best thing.
BACON I'M SO SORRY I KILLED YOU forgive me. yeef turn off crits lewllll

Nope! Range needs to be reduced. I am right and you are wrong!
[EDIT] Compare!
Regular Sentry
Mini-sentry

Range should be increased and dome should be diminished to the radius of a nickle.
See, you're both wrong.

Maybe it is just me, but it seems that a minisentry has more firepower than a lvl 1 sentry.
Nope. Mini-sentries shoot faster than Lvl 1 sentries and also rotate faster, but they do half as much damage per shot. They also deploy at full health, unlike regular sentries, which you can just sneeze on as they're constructing and they'll die.Sgt.Pepper said:
[EDIT]
Pffft. I use mini-sentries more than you. I just prefer games to be balanced, because it's more fun that way. A cheap win is boring for all involved!Blizzard said:

Some people are saying that Iron Curtain is gonna be ultra buffed to this:
- 100% chance to slow people down
- 2 % chance to stun
- it has less spread, leading to more damage output
Is this true? are this changes now live in the beta? because if it's true....

The usual routine as engineer on the GAF server isTenck said:
Spawn
Drop Tele entrance
Run up to about a third of the way behind the front line
Drop tele exit.
Begin building dispenser in an out of the way place.
Have a pyro come out nowhere and kill you, destroy your dispenser and your tele.
Spawn.
Run up.
Build tele in some obscure so its less likely to get destroyed.
Go out. Build sentry first. Then build dispenser.
Spy is sapping the tele at spawn. Run to tele exit to try and save.
Fail. Tele is down. Run back to sentry/dispenser in time to see demo medic pair destroy both.
Rage switch to medic.

People seem to forget that Engineers are a high risk high pay class. Like the Medic, it depends a lot of your teammates. When my team see me taking so much heat, and they don't bother I either change classes or stick with gunslinger engi.
Thanksfully, I don't have such problems in Janky-ass most of the time.
