I've just been away while moving between houses... my lease was up at one place, and I've just started a new one with some people I met on Facebook. It's going well so far!
Being away from the game for a short period of time has allowed me to reflect on my game... and I think I realized what's been messing me up.
Mouse acceleration.
I've had a logitech mouse since God knows when and I've always had the acceleration set on Low... and I hadn't realized until I tried the game without any acceleration how drastic the change is. I now have full control over my mouse, and in turn, my gun.
When I get my internet hooked up... you better watch out.
You don't need to be better.
I use a standard Dell mouse.
I wonder how much better my game would get if I invested in all this high tech controller shit everyone seems to have.
You don't need a good mouse to bind +attack and sit infront of a sentry.

In my mind, a good engineer has a high shotgun/sentry kill ratio.
And sitting in FRONT of a sentry never has worked out well for me.

Was just curious, higher numbers mean you spend more time behind you gun I'd guess. Lower means you either play more Offensive Engi, take a 'set it and forget it' approach, or have your gun blown up a lot.
Wedge
jdub
Yeah, I almost have the shotty kills over the sentry kills now... I like to think of the sentry as an aide more than anything else... god I want to have two level 1 sentries with engy update so bad.

I want an explosive dispenser like in TFC
In TFC anyone could use a dispenser, but if an enemy used it you would get a pop-up message stating that, you could then DETONATE your dispenser like a bomb, killing them if they had mid-range to low health. Damage was dealt based on how full the dispenser was, for the life of me though I can't find a video of it.
who are you >
?
I am guilty of sentry humping ;D
I should play some engi..I haven't in a couple months..
I've been wishing for some sort of multiple sentry update for a long time... Baby sentries are my bread and butter when I'm engi.
