Engineer Update Hype Thread

[Wedge]

Please gimee my fast silent building level 1 sentry <3.

[Black Aspen]

I want an air-pistol that blows away stickies like the pyro air-blast.  Have wanted this for years.  Also, I'd like to see Engies get a ranged electro-sapper aimed at taking out enemy buildings.  Tossed like a grenade in TFC.  An addition of that could completely re-tool the class for offense tactics.  Why should an engineer only be seen turtling?

[backfire]

I'm bettin they're gunna give battle-engies an edge. Stuff like faster buildings, silent, more health/weaker and whatnot. Maybe even making some stuff portable.

[PyroZombie]

I would like a lasso taunt kill.

I want fucking battle armor.

Slow as a heavy, but can jump as high as a scout and then hover in midair. Primary and secondary weapons are a railgun and guided missiles. Oh, and right clicking drops health/ammo packs for teammates.

Overpowered and ridiculous you say?

Well, I don't care.


It sounded awesome in my head.

Needs the TFC Railgun as the pistol replacement, that one fake update had it almost perfect imo, fires slowly, but makes a spy glow and does low DOTS like fire

when is engie update scheduled to hit? or are we just mentally masturbating?

They hinted at it during the Soldier/Demo update, truth be told I was half expecting them to do all three at once with the veiled hints they dropped, but I would not be totally surprised if we saw something before the end of May.

Not to mention they talked about it on the official TF2 blog yesterday.  Speaking only for myself here, but that tiny peek was boner-rific.

I want a sentry that has more knockback to stop scout caps on snowdrift  >

Indestructible teleporter entrances but can only be level 1.  Can't be sapped.  Exit still completely wreckable in the standard way.

Oh, also, CMS.

I want to see an assault engy loadout. Quick building baby sentries with high health and no upgrade-ability. Pistol swapped with a dart gun that does little damage but eff's with people. Like jams reloading so it takes longer or keeps spies from cloaking for a bit. But with a single shot and long reload times/low ammo.

I actually thought that was going to be the pistol unlock instead of the ambassador....I guess they could save that for another update, the tranq gun was awesome

This would be sweet but i don't really think people would swap their sentry for that.

This sounds nice, especially when your team is pushing. Plus the name is pretty great
