like the other dudes were saying there's nobody that's like "wow, that's a really good engineer"
because all there is to it is putting your sentry in the right place, and maybe getting a tele behind them occasionally
if you put it in the wrong place it will die almost instantly, so you quickly learn the places to put and then hey you have more or less mastered your engineering class
34 hours, engy is my most played class, just a couple of things.
Sentry Camping is extremely boring, i never do it, as you're normally just sitting there whacking until a spy or ubercharge steamrolls you
A good tactic is to set up a sentry in a vital path, and with shotgun in hand run around behind the demoman who's trying to sticky spam you, won't work against multiple enemies though
Also support engy at the start of a round is something i only seem to ever do, i'm going to play as a scout anyway, so why not start as an engy, help other engies set up and then swap over before the round starts
Even still he's a pretty boring class, i pretty much just set up some shit and then go rush with 5 of my team-mates, all the while thinking i could be playing a scout right now... and that sentry will probably get sapped in 5 seconds
Backburner is good for some parts of some maps. In fact, its usually useful.
Hint, if you arent getting behind the enemy regularly, you are probably playing pyro wrong.
Oh i get behind, its just the crit detection is a bit skewy.
Def. a bit screwey and I just love the leaf blower. It's good fun for a Demoman to see his stickies roll back towards him while you clear hte way for your team. And if I get behind a guy with a regular flame thrower, he's usually dead without the crits anyway. Plus, ROCKET TENNIS!!!
Engineers on asian servers are always hackers it seems. 5 turrents, picking up and moving turrents, stacking turrents, multiple teleporters, etc. It makes playing a Demoman so much more enjoyable when you blow up like 12 buildings at once.
So airblasting is so fun. I played pyro most of yesterday just focusing on using that whenever possible. It is absolutely hilarious and satisfying reflecting rockets back at a kritz'd medic/soldier.
Also airblasting a baseball back at a scout then flaming/axestinguishing him.
Edit: also also hadouken killing 3 people at once. This is fun too.

Airblasting a baseball into a medic and flaming/axetinguishing the medic is better.
Did they just round the corner, freeze upon witnessing your majesty, and died horribly?
...I'm assuming you timed it well at round start, right?
It was on hydro right at the end of a round, stalemate. Like 4 dudes were all stopped on the stairs and I just blocked them all from running up and hit the taunt!

If the defending team manages to push you back to your spawn it is no surprise that they spawn camp. The defending team is hardly going to do 'welp, we pushed them this far but, alas, it is too far. We have defended too well. Quickly, move the front line back so that we may aid our opponents!'
If you're talking about gydan (and I suspect you are) I don't blame red for spawn camping, I blame the map for being awful. Whenever someone on my team complained about spawn camping I'd remind them that's there's nowhere for red to GO except to our spawn. There's no other place to really defend A except right outside the spawn doors of blue. It's much too cramped. There's three exits to blue spawn and they all lead to the same place.

well, this was at the second spawn when they were trying to get C. but it wasnt so much map design as duld and i kritzin nerds errday
Well that was our team being dumb. Like when we were trying to get B and you two were just sitting in the right tunnel kritzing over and over and over again and nobody was doing a thing about it.
Airblasting with any kind of success seems to be predicting rockets. Long range airblasts never really result in anything unless they're crits so most of the time it's short range and you just have to almost guess when the soldier will shoot since there's such a small window to do it after you for sure see a missile coming towards you.
Airblasting rockets back at turrets is useful sometimes too, especially if they're in a position where you can pop in and out of the range easily and aren't forced into its firing range.

Short-medium range is where I had the most luck. Since you can't fire it as fast as soldiers shoot rockets, if you don't kill anything on the second blast, you're probably dead.
Airblasting is good for defensive use too, guys. Swoop in, reflect a rocket barrage heading for your front line, and watch their line break formation. Especially if you happened to pinball a crit. :winky:

Put that sentry right where they'd never expect it.
Shotgun/Pistol are really the best weapons in the game anyway. Drop a sentry and get to shooting -- while it builds, people will magically want to worry about it and ignore you.

Do you know how incredibly annoying that would be?

what are these turrents you speak of?

I need airblasting tips, please sir.
I can never get it to work.

Is there a range where it's the most effective?
Although I don't understand the one with the bloody baseball.
It reminds me of a nightmare I had once, including the ending which was me still being asleep.
