Yeah, i was wondering the same thing when I read it.
Maybe they read your post on our forum Kellerman and when they saw Romanians were interested in the game, the suddenly decided to add romanian language support :mrgreen:

The new shotgun is okay, although I'm not sure wether I will use it a lot in the future. Its nice when you have those crits but it sucks when you don't have them. You have to rely on your sentry to make some kills and then get it destroyed. I think it will work best with camping engineers. The gunslinger is shit for it as the little sentry gun does not seem to make kills or assists enough to really get a benefit from it. Also when you deploy the little sentry it still takes a couple of seconds for it to start firing, which makes your 3 shots in the new shotgun already wasted. Think normal shotgun will work better with the gunslinger.

Haven't got the wrangler yet.

Oh and another note about the gunslinger that the 3rd hit always crits, you try hitting someone three times in a row without missing once and them not being death from a normal 3 melee hits (because 90% will be)

Yeah new maps is awesome, anything to bury dustbowl too!

Post subject:  Re: engineer update gentlemen
Yes maps are bloody awesome, I love vertical design of new payload maps - a lot more action going on than on goldrush and you have a lot more paths. Cant really say how new weapons will affect gameplay, cause only servers I could find after the update contained 10-15 engineers per side :mrgreen: It was nice though sapping 30-40 buildings at once giving people achievements for removing sappers of friendly buildings ;)
Most crits I racked up with Frontier Justice in one life was like 15 and its very powerfull over long distance when critting- 50-60 dmg over the lenght of half dustbowl first stage is a lot.

I've tried combining them, verdict is still out till I test it some more.

Imo, being able to move buildings is super awesome :4

Post subject:  Re: engineer update gentlemen
yup being able to move your stuff is a long overdue addition. Although I think you carry everything at the same speed. I reckon they should change it so that a lvl 1 sentry is easier to transport than a lvl 3, same with dispensers etc.

Best thing is you can take your sentry/dispenser through the teleporter :mrgreen:

Post subject:  Re: engineer update gentlemen
minisentry should deploy quickly, like 1 second, and should take reduced damage while it's building itself. I like seeing the engi being as less of a campy class 8)

Oh and what are the rules about engineers building on roofs now? :wink:

I'd say we'd have to allow engies to build in spots they previously couldn't reach now xD

This was the first thing I tried when I got the wrangler. :ugly:

(Roomba or some other griefers exploited this way back).

Anyway, imo it should be possible to discard carried buildings. Pain when you get shot at and you have to look for somewhere to put the thing down.

omg the music on that video was shit... ergh my ears...

anyway, well if valve, the geniuses that they are have made it like that (and i assumed tested it for more than 30secs) then it's design is as intended and the engy shouldn't be discriminated against for reaching out the way places. But, if we assume valve are idiots and didn't bother testing their latest update (its not like they dont have the time!!!), then out admins are gonna be busy... very busy.

The sentries placed by the Gunslinger can be upgraded to level 3 with a little effort. Good one, Valve.

For me this is the best update ever. It's turned the most boring class into a real-mean killing machine. Battle engie, yeeeah!
Oh, and hightower is sooo much fun as solly. Yay!

I've only found several copies of the new avenger shotgun or whatever it's name is, and I'm planning to try out the engineer once I get hold of that combat sentry that seems to go well with the shotgun.
With that combo it seems you can get away from the normal camping turtle engineer game-play and instead run around, chewing bubblegum and kick ass. To a certain extent at least :)

Post subject:  Re: engineer update gentlemen
If you find good spots for the mini sentry, you can become a real killer with your avenger shotgun. :D

edit: Of course you can use the normal sentry too, but gunslinger is teh awesome!
