I think a whole lot of maps become more interesting with no engineers. But without engineers, I think you also have to limit/remove scouts. their speed makes them OP without the hard counter of a Sentry.Drkirby said:
Thanks for the tips. I'm already hitting anyone coming close to me or my buildings with my good ol' Southern Hospitality (or Gunslinger when I'm attacking).Bakphoon said:
I try to build my sentries in spots hidden from sight, like behind boxes so that people can't see it before they move in front of it. Somehow I feel like I'm one of the only engineers doing that...most people I play with seem to put their sentries in plain sight. Maybe it's because I'm playing on Valve servers...they seem to have a bad reputation here.
Played some Badwater on a Valve server looking to practice basic spying: instead, I got a great match where everyone worked together and was willing to switch classes when needed. Teams were balanced with balanced amounts of classes and every match came down to the wire.
Some great moments were when defending last the other Engies and I all worked together, repairing and building each other's gear while creatively moving that gear up. Together we weathered three coordinated uber pushes and multiple other pushes to win the game. Another great one was on offense, when the whole team worked together to take down the sentries defending second to last (literaly all twelve of us) and pushed the cart through in one push.
Of course, it wasn't as magical as the Jank, but it was really impressive for a Valve server.
Yeah, I agree for the most part, although I'd be perfectly fine if we banned Dustbowl.

It also helped that I was awake.

It's a mix. Sometimes a "hidden" spot is prime for the enemy to safely drop stickies in front of, making the sentry incredibly vulnerable. And a sentry in the open, but using the Wrangler, is pretty safe and pretty potent.
Really, you just have to play on good servers and pay attention to where sentry nests are being placed. If there's a sentry that's really holding down an area, it's probably because it's a good spot. It takes forever, but you learn where to put them.
Mini-sentries, though, all bets are off. I've found they're best in plain view, or slightly hidden- somewhere that a lot of distracted enemies are going to be. Don't get too clever with those, they're trash. Who cares if they blow it up, just build another.

Someone got me in a trade and threw up a Strange Revolver and a Strange Minigun and asked for my Big Kill. Then he said, "The more kills you get with these weapons the more damage it does!".
Bwahahaha!
I also got a great compliment in a Valve server on Gravelpit saying, "Artist carried you guys". I did kind of have 100 points more than everyone else ... :3

Love valve servers!ArtistDude88 said:
One of them I had some aimbot on my team and he was getting all the kills. This was pissing me off so as a spy I just spawn camped. Got me to 70 points! But the hacker had like 180 lol. Also most of the team only had 10-25 points.
Reported him I hope the others on the server did the same.

I wonder if Valve will ever make new achievements? With all the new weapons you could easily make tons of new ones.

you know why we get trade requests like that?ArtistDude88 said:
because for every 10 of us that knows better there is:
That was a Fancy Fedora with Orbiting Fire. Dude was only playing the game for 15 hours or so, lifetime.
smh.

FFS, Dreams. That's terrible, lol.
If someone offered me an unusual for a few random weapons, I think I'd be too nice and reject the offer and tell the dude it's worth a lot more. D:

Most of the people on the servers I fequent don't trade, and the ones that do are moderately smart about it. Did get a strange for one of my spare Postal Pummelers once, which was nice.
Do you just ask random players with hats to trade and hope they agree while spinning the worth of the items?

Any of you big CS or Quake players back in the day find your skills transferred over to TF2?
I remember some random dude I was on tf2lobby with had only a few hours played, but this fucker owned the other team! He was a solly and after wiping them out, he switched to sniper (so we had 2 scouts, 1 solly, one demo, one medic) and we were still whipping the other team. I asked if he had another account, but all he said was he 'played a lot of cs'
I had to learn everything from scratch since I can't play most fps games. I picked up the most from watching others.
I think Java was in one of the first games I played and I think I only friended him cause he had a gaf tag.
How the hell do you all know Java? I met most of you through him and his server.

And those Pyro items are bad. C+ to the modeler for trying, though.

I love that set. Fun when you're in te mood for it. The loss of headshots makes for a big sacrifice though.Drkirby said:

Another question, is it possible to craft unusuals with metal?

I wonder why is there still not a second MISC place for every character...
From a July 30th blog post...UnluckyKate said:
Now working = Haven't Started = Valve Time = 2012/Never
Someone on Facepunch made a ton of styles for already existing hats, and was baffled when they weren't in the Uber update. He e-mailed someone and Valve said that they didn't have enough room so it will be included in the "next update." Sure enough it hasn't come yet, unless he was referring to the next major update.Drkirby said:
The next big update could be focused on aesthetics, hence the new styles and 2nd misc slot. Plus you've got to imagine they have a huge backlog of hats that they haven't uploaded yet. I think Halloween is a big possibility for the next huge update. As you've seen from my previous posts, people have made so many good Halloween submissions that Valve can't ignore them.
I JUST WANT RAID MODE IS THAT TOO MUCH TO ASK FOR VALVE?
ALSO PORTAL 2 DLC
