    Alternate flamethrower: can't crit, but 1.5x more range and does full damage the entire range.

    That's so awesome I don't think anyone would take the original. Maybe if the alternate's full damage was reduced.

    Engineer achievement idea:

    Maginot Improvement: Upgrade a sentry from level 2 to level 3 by supplying it a single point of Metal.

    And while three history buffs laughed, the rest of the world scratched their heads.

    I thought it was hilarious.

    But the sentry has to only be pointed in one direction and never move.

    Yeah, .75x the range instead would probably be more sane, heh.

    I would be happy with something that causes players on fire to catch other teammates on fire if they get too close, or something with a bit more range.

    Yes, if it was shorter, but caused other players on the opponents team to ignite, I would love that weapon. The damage could also be slightly less, if need be, but it would be such an amazing scare tactic.

    A shorter range flamethrower would be a dumb, you already need to use the closest 50% of the flame to do any good. I still think the alternate flamethrower should be less damage for much stronger flames. Maybe slightly longer range if necessary but not much. It would be useful for situations that are usually too dangerous for Pyros.
    What do you mean by "less damage for much stronger flames"? Less damage over time?

    I don't know exactly which one that is but no one really knows the best way to stage a good uber push on goldrush yet. Their are a lot of different places where a soldier or demo can get some good angles on the sentries. A team of a medic, soldier, and demo can work together to take out most any sentry gun if they work together.

    The best way to make a good push is always to uber a demo and a pyro. The pyro pushes back people and destroys any low sentry guns. The demo takes out the harder guns.

    Also move that gear up. An offensive engie is key on goldrush. He can be a real dick with his sentry placement and teleports are key. Don't just put your sentry to guard your fall back position use it to irritate the other team.

    Working together is key it is alot easier to do whatever you want on defense when you got a couple of sentries up but on offense work together ftw

    Love the medic pic flippy, good sir. Have to say your screenies are looking pretty spectacular, how well does the 8800gt run tuftoo? I'm probably going to trade in this laptop for a deskie for next year.

    If you want a little perspective, I have an 8800gts (g92 512mb version) This game never dips below 60fps at 1680X1050, everything maxed. The only slowdown I get is internet lag. I'm running it with an E6850 3.0Ghz proc and 2GB DDR2 ram.

    8800GTX rocks everything.

    Today I realized, that I would rather be an average player on the PA servers than good one the pubs.

    since jonxp introduced me to the PA servers [ within days of buying the game ] I've played on nothing else.
    I had the day off today, so I hit some pubs this afternoon.

    Wow.

    I have tomorrow off also, so please get on the servers early.

    Those fucking melee crits really mess things up. I was pimping medic again(mostly for achievements since there was no reason to switch with five already). Whenever a pyro would be on my nuts, I'd run through a doorway or around a corner, turn around, and brandish my bonesaw, waiting for his stupid face to pop up. It was super effective.

    Doesn't seem quite fair to me. Oh, well. Expect drunk Monsty...hmm...tomorrow, maybe. If I'm lucky.
