BUAAAH

this actually sounds awesome, makes the sentry harder to deal with while not overpowered-- you can still kill the engi controlling it

Dear god. The Engi is getting a Guitar.... He's now my favourite class

LASER GUIDED LEVEL 1 SENTRY CONFIRMED.




Well, I wasn't spot on, but I'm gonna say I called this update item 2 months ago.

Fine be that way, Kirby </3 ;P  On the other hand, I think the Wrangler is really quite a good idea.  I'm concerned about how well it'll work, but if it's done right it could be nasty in a balanced way.

You know, looking at the achievements, I think Valve has outdone themselves in the puns department this time Tongue

the new unlocks cater to my engi playstyle (hit and run guerrilla tactics.)

yeah this is gonna raise the skill ceiling considerably. I see people making sentries, wranglin them for a few kills then demolishing the sentry and going on a rampage. will be fun

I nearly creamed my pants when I saw "The Wrench Connection" and the icon of a spy getting facewrench'd

Drunken_fool got a wrench. I swear, if there's anyone who's honestly deserving of a wrench, it's that guy. :p

Re: Updates of the Week (ongoing discussion) - PyroZombie - 07-07-2010

These secret pages, besides the obvious and the already assumed, what do you think they mean?

And Pyro might actually have a not-dying machine under that suit.

Meet the Pyro, since my segue was perfect, apparently is from a first-person perspective, or first-robot/cyborg perspective. I see a smack-my-bitch-up moment at the end, where the intel is secured, it punches out, tired and panting. It walks into the respawn and takes a moment, placing it's flamethrower behind him and grabs the purse. It caresses the little pocketbook,and then looks up at the conveniently-placed mirror across the room. Placing the bag at his side,It unzips it's mask, tossing it across the room and walks to the mirror. It's near-sighted so you can only see a blurry form in mirror at first, but as the pyro grows closer, you see a steel-faced thing, shaped human-esque with an eery, crimson glow from under the suit. It looks in the mirror, and tilts it's head in confusion. It grows angry and smashes the mirror with it's axe. The eyes of the pyro looks back to the bag on the bench. It grabs the bag and comes back to the shattered catastrophe that is the mirror. It grabs a rather large shard, and lifts it up to look at himself. It looks in the mirror again, the camera tilting as the pyro reaches into the bag. It pulls something out as the camera rush-swipes to the "view-point" of the mirror. It tilts it's mechanical melon to the left and right trying to find it's faceless center.It's hand comes into frame where it brings a tube of lipstick up to it's maw and draws crudely where lips would be if it was indeed human. it looks gleefully into the shard and drops it on the floor where it goes to black upon shattering.

Cue dramatic end-title sequence.

yes, too much time on my hands.

P.S. Drunken, I think I've figured out why we have to craft to get these wrenches, message me for a interesting business prospect.

Steam forums are raging saying he 'hacked' it or used an exploit.

Yeah, like you can totally hack the steam cloud. Even if he did somehow figure out the system, I still think he should keep it.

Actually, scratch that. There is a formula. He and his friends were able to figure out exactly when the wrench would drop, right down to the second. Gotta love valve and their "every craft has a chance" crap, huh. Tongue

I wouldn't call it a hack, more likely either A) Someone at valve deliberately dropped it for him, or B) He got it randomly

Likely the latter but I would not put it past someone at Valve to do A.

[/quote]valve's too lazy to code something random although creating a random variable isnt even hard iirc

rand() - It exists in most all languages, it will make something off the processor's clock cycle, its technically not truly 100% random, but its good enough for most express purposes, like the one in question.

lol, the guy with wrench 27 just deleted it  :-\
