Valve Teases Team Fortress 2 Engineer Update

[The_root_of_all_evil]

I believe that the update will allow the Engineer to fly and bend matter, and in some specific gametypes, time.

Upgrade a wrench to a sonic screwdriver? That would be awesome cubed.

Look at the video at 0:10 you can clearly see a strange, robot like, head on the far left side, possible clue?

The Engineer is Iron Man. Simple as that.

Which is why the engineer is now god. Have I ever told you guys that I am obsessed with Iron Man?

I thought you'd be more of a laser screwdriver kind of person Root.

I know! I know!

He's building Terminator armor. /blatant 40k fandom

I want Valve to make a freaking Team Fortress 2 web series! The Meet the Team Videos are brilliant.

Looking forward to this, engies have been dying too fast ever since my Sasha got upgraded. Now they might actually be a challenge!

 

[Hat of Controversy]

It's kind of scary honestly, I mean, most of the other unlocks have done nothing but screw with the game, and it's not as if the engineer really needs fixing or anything.

Ah well, it should be fun and interesting, either way.

Obvious video is obvious

Be good to see the Engie getting a bit of love after the Direct Hit, Scottish Resistance and Cloak/Dagger + Deadringer.

Although I'm gonna enjoy all the pipeline maps with 14 Engies on it....and one spah!

DO NOT MENTION THE DIRECT HIT IN FRONT OF ME, BLASPHEMER.

Lookin' forward to this one though. It's about time the engie got himself some lovin'.

How about a teleporter that'll take a Medic+[insert class here] at the same time? Either that or kick-ass Power Armour for the Engy, but he'd move as slow as the Heavy but could act as a portable Dispenser?

Wow, that's actually quite a cool idea. Mobile dispensers are a good thought at any rate.

 

[BlueInkAlchemist]

Not only does this look like a great update, it probably means a weekend sale of the game. Which, in turn, means I can finally get my hands on the superior PC version.

 

[Heart of Darkness]

Release date: December 13, 2012. No one will be able to play with it.

Also, I'm still waiting for the Meet the Pyro and the Meet the Medic videos. It's only been two years, they should come out soon...

 

[Denizen]

Yay engis will get more powers. Friends and foes alike know I am the most annoying combat engi so with this, it will just expand my arsenal of torture. Anyone notice that red-eyed mask on the bottom right when he's brandishing the hammer?

 

[hopeneverdies]

I wonder, does Valve read the fan webcomic, Cuanta Vida? Since recently the BLU engy had his hand cut off by the RED spy. Maybe that's where the blueprint is coming from.

 

[GamingAwesome1]

I would be excited except for the fact that I hate Engineers and whenever a new update is released everyone plays as that class.

I'm glad class-limit servers exist.

 

[Cowabungaa]

Gods Valve you're one cruel mistress. I love you. I love you so much. The evil little chuckle of the Engineer just tops the video, I want to know what that clever devil is up to. Right now!!!

This is also the update I'm most curious about, as the Engineer pretty much has the biggest impact on the game of all classes. Tweaking him must be horribly difficult and I'm very curious for what they'll come up with.

To add more craziness, a banjo wielding mecha suit?

You just did that to me. Thank you so much, I love you.

I'm betting for this though:

Spoiler: Rrrrun cowaaaards!!!

 

[Tinneh]

I hope he gets a welding tool. Or a guitar from the Meet the Engineer video.

 

[MGlBlaze]

I KNOW that blueprint in the background is some kind of hint, but I can't tell what it is. No doubt the mallet is going to be his new melee weapon, though. At least, I think it seems likely.

Wow. Thank you. I get a decent idea once in a blue moon.

Shush, you'll blow my cover. Now if I can just get this watch to work...
