Man, I wish I had read this post before I logged in to the server.

BrikHaus : wow, what's with all the engies?
AcidLead : DERP
Zadruhn : hurrdurr idk
[Bushwood]Lowlight : no idea

I wish that DERP HURR DURR stuff would just die. Like "just askin'" and "Wow. Just. Wow"

Anyway, I was initially skeptical and slightly depressed about the update until I PLAYED ENGINEER and started racking up achievements.

I managed to unlock the Frontier Justice, which is cool and all, but THE BEST THING has nothing to do with new weapons. Build up your SG in a safe place, and right click and move that gear up! If this was all that was updated, it would be worth it.

Yeah, I was just trying to act like a random, casual TF2 player who hasn't been following the update news all week. Or to put it another way, I was trolling. Those TF2 fans never disappoint.



Agreed. I can't believe that wasn't advertised more heavily.

I would like to see a team of 12 engineers playing defense on Goldrush. 6 engies build sentries outside the spawn, the other 6 build dispensers. They all use the lockers to grab metal and upgrade to level 3. Then load up on metal one last time, pick up their gear, and run to the front line before the bell starts.

pretty cool update, its free so its hard to complain to much about anything:)


i'm with pad, love the ability to move your sentry, this opens up new strats, building in spawn and relocating kicks butt



but...................................and this goes with all updates..........only this is much worse...............................having 10 engi's on each team turtled in with 2 other random classes isn't much fun...........................unless you have a really good medic/demo combo to really annoy the said engi's!!!!!!!!!!

I have to say I feel exactly the opposite. I love when the other team has too many engineers on defense. I've been having a great time the last couple of days picking off sentry after sentry. If you don't have people supporting an engineer, it is really easy to take out sentries. What I don't like, however, is when you're on offense and people think 4 or 5 engineers is appropriate...

If I have one complaint about the update it's how the wrangler balances in the final stage of some of the payload maps. In general the wrangler is pretty balanced. It has some good points and bad points - no complaints. However in the final stage of some of the payload maps (goldrush, dustbowl, badwater, upward) the map is designed so that the offense can't really get access to the final area. The only way they win is through a big push where they take out all of the defense at once. Well, if you have two wranglers and they're both supporting each other, it's nearly impossible to have a successful push because it's just too hard to take out all of the sentries. Come to think of it, I don't think I've seen an offensive payload win since the update came out.

Overall I think the update was good. It adds some new strategies to the game.

Speaking of the update - are the new maps in the normal map rotation? I think I saw the new maps one night on the FNF server, and not since. Can we get them added? I've been going to other servers just so I can play the new maps.
