    I couldn't get back into the server either and had to join a public game. I'm minding my own business and healing dudes when I get fully charged. I tell the Heavy in front of me that I've got uber ready, and the fucker starts going off on me.

    "I don't want your uber. You're a shitty Medic who's going to get me killed. You suck, stop healing me. Go uber someone else. Seriously, you're the worst Medic ever."

    Uh, what the hell is that all about? Fortunately, the admin was playing at the time and kicked him to the other team just as we won. The asshole returned to our team and complained about not getting any points or some such bullshit like that. Of course, the sweet revenge happened on defense when that fucker caught on fire and ran screaming to me to heal him.

    "Dover heal me! Hurry! I'm sorry about what I said, you're an awesome Medic! Come on....HEAL ME!"

    I let him burn to death. Maybe I am a bad Medic after all. :D

    Hahah, what? Who was this asshole?

    I'm a lil drunk and have this 32oz (fucking Florida) of Cobra to drink. I hope the server is still hoppen, although I imagine it's dead and I'll have to pub it up. That would be a shame.

    But fingers crossed.

    They really need to change that. Can't imagine that's intended, seeing as how the knife is supposed to be an instant-kill death from behind.

    If they can eat a crit rocket, I don't see why they can't eat a backstab.

    I think we should talk about TF2, guys, because I play the game, and it is really fun.

    Also, do not play engineer while non-sober, because it is not easy.

    Also play pyro, because all you have to do is w and press mouse one.

    I'd say the most elegant solution would be one that reduces the effectiveness of multiple sentry guns. Right now the sentry gun are extremely important to the game balance, they serve as a very effective form of area denial but they are static and require maintenance. However, the problem is that multiple sentries that cover each other can become extremely difficult to take out, as even if you uber, you might not simply have enough time to destroy three sentries, ignoring the threats of knockback or enemy team intervention.

    However, I can't think of a good way to solve this problem. Hopefully Valve can.

    sentries no longer fire on a target if another sentry is closer

    or, sentries have an area of effect in their blueprints that debuffs nearby sentries?

    I was thinking about stuff like this and here's my conclusion: The second one probably wouldn't happen because it allows for some mild same-team griefing. Dicks could build an unhelpful sentry around yours just to weaken it.

    The first one would make ubers better against sentries but make pretty much every other situation worse. A gob of folks rushing sentries in hopes of taking some down wouldn't happen since the smart sentries would pick them apart piecemeal. Even worse, bonk would be absolutely even more useless against anything other than a single sentry. (EDIT: Oh, I suppose multiple targets wouldn't get picked apart if further away sentries just refused to target them, but that could also be used to grief pretty bad. Fucking dicks ruin everything!)

    I think it may be an unsolvable situation without changing sentries or some major dynamics of the game. I'm up for change! Let's do it!

    I just don't like the current version where you have to capture a control point before you can start to accumulate time. I suppose this is a concession to the fact that the game doesn't actually support KOTH, but I hope Valve doesn't make it a requirement.

    I like Halo style, where you have to defend a specific zone, and as soon as the area is clear of enemies, you start building time.

    The lighthouse king of the hill map is a control point map with a single CP, and a timer for each team that decreases while they control it. It caps in like 2 seconds, and the timers don't reset if you lose the point.
