Soooo... The Engineer Update (For TF2)

[Harlemura]

I've got all the weapons already. Because I go on achievement servers. Because I'm a loser.
I only use the Frontier Justice, mostly because it looks cool, and the Southern Hospitality because the Gunslinger creeps me out.
Seriously, he cut off his own hand for it. Why would I want to support that?! Also a single competent soldier renders the mini-sentries useless.

so far seem good altho picking up sentries with no catch is mondo op

VALVe have been updating the classes one by one with new weapons/abilities/maps/gamemodes etc since yonks ago. Every time they release an update there are loads of one class for a while because people are trying to get the new weapons. The update details are on their blog http://www.teamfortress.com/.

I don't like it....THEY KILLED THE SANDVICH HOOVY! Valve can go fuck itself in the ass for what they've done....http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vio6ZkvFkeg&playnext_from=TL&videos=NJW5st7oeIc&feature=sub

I don't think I can play TF2 anymore.
Thanks, Valve.

Well as soon as TF2 starts downloading again I might know. It keeps on looping at Download starting but never actually starts. Anyone any idea how to fix that?

Once people stop playing as the engineer constantly, it should be fun.

It's annoying when both teams are almost all engineer, save for maybe a spy or demoman.

I am not playing Team Fortress 2 for a while now. The Soldier vs. Demo update pissed me off to no end, and there is no way I'm going to experience it again.

Got all the items, no Gold Wrenches. ( daw) And the Achievements are fairly easy. Perhaps because you're supposed to help other Engies for those, so during this week it's easy to get.

I love the new weapons! The Wrangler is soooo sweet!

Well, Spies, Demo's and Soldier galore. Scouts... just wait until the storm is over...

What's even more annoying is when your team are all engi and the other team is nice and balanced.

Haha, nobody was playing as a scout in the last few servers I was in.

Edit: @Reg: Usually once I realize that, I just leave. It's no fun getting steamrolled because everyone is camping at their buildings.

I just played my first game of TF2 and it's okay but I don't get what the fuss is about.

Then again I did just play with a full team and all but 2 were engineers, I was a medic (while I learn the maps I might aswell help somebody!) and a spy, I am also not playing in a very gamer position so maybe that ruin the fun slightly.

Spoiler: This is how I am sat at the moment

some shelf the width of my keyboard on my lap, the keyboard on the shelf at arms length and the mouse below it, while my monitor is 45 degrees to my left.

Anyway, all I know is there was an update for the engineers so I guess there constantly improving the game, which is only a good thing, right?

 

[AlternatePFG]

Now's really not the best time to get a good feel of the game, because everyone is engineer and trying to unlock new items, which really throws of the balance.

 

[Lordmarkus]

You wanna know what I call this update at the moment? Sapfest 2010.

Great fucking times. Beat my record for spy on my first try.

Played for two hours from the moment the update went live and got two milestones, which is enough for the moment. Had a blast taunt killing bots for a good 10 minutes afterwards.

 

[Hiphophippo]

People complain that valve are bastards and ruining the game but what other company gives you this much for free?

Quality over quantity.

Just because they change and add loads of stuff doesn't mean it's good.

I agree on principle, but I don't think that's really applicable here. All of Valve's stuff has been pretty great.

OT:

As for the update however, I'm not sure I could be much more excited over the whole thing. I've got 3 of the 4 new weapons with only the Wrangler left to go. Engineer is far and away my most played class so I'm ecstatic over the whole thing.

I'm even enjoying the chaos of 16 vs 16 engineers in dustbowl. It's so ridiculous. I wouldn't enjoy it forever but it's a fun diversion for a few days.

Wait for the nerfs/buffs of this update, after the dust has settled, then I'll agree.

Thanks, Valve.

Sandvich Heavies were quite overpowered in Arena mode...

Personally I like the update. So many people who usually despise the engineer are now after the achievements giving me easy saps and backstabs. Might finaly bother to do the 1000 of each earlier montioned.

The thing I don't like is the afterimages of the sentries and teleporters.

Considering I never play Arena I'm still pissed.
Seriously, if an item is OP in one mode, why not change it for that mode only?
Up yours, Valve.

I WOULD tell you what I think of it, if my PIECE OF SHIT OUTDATED COMPUTER Didn't keep crashing whenever I try to boot it up!
