    I hate seeing this comment about Sentries. I'm not going to argue this however, I'm going to give you the tips that I use to kill sentries, as a scout.

    Between upgrades and while it's being set up the sentry is ineffective for a few seconds, rush it and shotgun it.

    Cornering: crouch and slowly move around a corner until you can see the very edge of a sentry, fire with your pistol until it 'splodes. A level 1 and 2 sentry have the same hitbox of the larger Level 3 sentry, so you may not even have to see the thing to hit it.

    Demomen or soldier: splash damage, you don't even have to see the sentry, just shoot a rocket or stickie in the general area.

    Anyone else: Ubercharge
    I'll give it a shot with the cornering. The demo and soldier I know, but depending on the map, it's harder to slice the pie and roll around than with others. One thing that always seems to work is to overwhelm it and give it more than one target and pray it chooses the other guy. Still, that thing kills awfully fast...
    Oh, and about the pyro, in QWTF (can't remember TFC) the Pyro did have a splash damage fire rocket that never needed reloading. I'm pretty sure it was removed for the same reason as grenades. It led to spamming, and the pyro fire was much weaker at the time anyways.
    Nah, wouldn't want a rocket. Doesn't "fit." A Molotov might, though.

    Sentries are powerful, but come on people, they DON'T MOVE. If they didn't take any effort for you to knock over then it wouldn't be worth having them in the game.
    It's ok to address me by name and call me a lameo, you know. You don't gotta spare my feelings with this third person stuff. Anyway, I get where you're coming from.

    Minigun fire from just around a corner can often take down sentries too.

    Still, I'd love to see a version of an SG that sacrifices firepower (and their ludicrous knockback) for insane toughness.

    I think we're gonna need some class restrictions when the new achievements come out. The prospect of every team being made up of battle medics for few weeks is not a good one.

    Also I'm in my server if anyone fancies a game.

    Hilarious thing happened yesterday on dustbowl stage2, near the last cap. Me and a medic flank some attacking blus near the two healthpack area, killing all except a medic, who activates his uber. We block him in, so its either the choice of meeting my minigun or running out onto the sentry farm. He runs out onto the sentry farm and bonesaws an engineer (Rust i think) before being shredded by sentry fire.

    that was lobster who apparently mistook my "use uber" as 'don't use uber as i get closer and closer to death'

    Gold rush concerns me a bit, doesn't it seem like Demomen just stickying the length of the track will make it a bit too easy to kill the people trying to escort it?

    I honestly have little idea how they could change the sniper without making it broken or useless...

    ...

    Nope, can't think.

    How about a bigger dot? More forgiving if your aim is slightly off. That would totally fuck with people. Or they could do what the QuakeWorld snipers were able to do.


    INCOMING AIRSTRIKE, RUNNNN!

    The other medic gun needs to infect people, that was one of my greatest joys in TFC.
