yeah those people are terrible at what they do.
I like that the firing noise and blip-beeps of the mini-sentry are so annoying that it triggers something in people's brains that makes the little gun the priority instead of the engineer pumping shotgun shells or pistol rounds into their backs. Hell I've run up and FISTO'D a few pyros and heavies who did that.
I'm always amused when I place a sentry that catches a rocket jumping soldier high into his jump, pelts him a bit, and then he falls to his death because he never made it up to where he wanted to land.

Bwahaha. Just played on a random server with a medic that had his friends as an escort pyro and... I think heavy. I was also pyro, but once a spy managed to stab him HOLY SHIT the blue streak he swore at me and only me was quite impressive. It was probably for the best I didn't have my headset plugged in, I couldn't stop laughing.
Some people take random middle-of-the-night matches way too seriously.
Personally though, when you have full on 12v12 as we do on the servers, I prefer sasha over natascha, since I like to spend as little time spinning and leaving less chance to being flanked due to tunnel vision.
I'm kind of sad they banned the wrangler because it is a really fun game mechanic

Well, it *is* CEVO.
They are the ultimate funhaters.
the wrangler was banned because it is a new unlock that might have stupid amounts of turtling potential in 6v6
so options were lower engy amount to 1
(which is silly because a regular strat on some final points, like gravelpit, is two engies)
or to ban the potentially gamebreaking (at the 6v6 scale) item for a season and see how it goes
i do not like the idea that competitive organizations are "fun haters" just because they are trying to keep a competitive metagame have a semblance of balance
I know the engy isn't supposed to be all the powerful, but on more than one occasion last night I had the FJ charged up and unloaded into someone several times and they turn around and shoot me dead. WTF. I have more success with the pistol. I wish they would change the shotgun to have shorter range and higher damage. It feels worthless even at close range.

El Guaco are you sure you are even playing engineer
So what's this line of thinking springing up that Natascha is somehow "underpowered and useless" and only good to use on scouts?
I thought it was Christmas last night. Server starts emptying out and so my last few games before going to sleep, and we don't have a heavy so I hop in that. Not only did the opposing team have 3-4 scouts, but the rest of their team was engineer with maybe 1 soldier.
So many low HP classes to whittle down with Natascha. Then a sniper showed up and shot me in the face
You'd have some zen Phil Jackson style coaches ('be the class you want'), some wacky hail mary plays ("ok we're all going engie and then as you die you come back as a spy").. stuff like that.
Can you even find old versions of Valve maps? Like goldrush with the door and open platform, Granary with gates and a setup time, or gravelpit where you could build sentries under the floor.
I just hate when I'm running around doing my own thing, pewpeing bad guys, and some medic spots me and pops an uber for no fucking reason.
It completely wrecks my rhythm and I am 100% guaranteed to waste the entire uber trying to decide what I should be attacking. Invariably I switch targets several times and accomplish nothing.
Yeah, and usually when I get an uber we turn the corner into 5 sentry guns and I get airblasted and pushed around and then can't do anything anyway.
I love when engies throw down mini sentries when I'm soldier. Free kill for me.
My normal sentries are usually free kills for soldiers anyway.
It's to the point where I'm beginning to think that building a sentry has a hidden side effect of causing a soldier to spawn somewhere in the level, who's only objective is to find the new sentry gun and destroy it.
Alien swarm has finally become the game to turn me away from my serious tufftoo habit
I've been gradually losing interest anyway, but never really had anything serious to keep me away
I'm already a bit tired of Alien swarm, but the mod potential is so ridiculous that it will only be a matter of time
so in short valve needs to hurry up with that Tankbuster if they still want my tufftoo lovin'. I can't get enough of the art for that soldier pack.

The old version of granary is without gates
true, but the version of granary we play now is almost identical to launch
granary with gates is the map that we have lost to the sands of time

i shall school yon noobs in the orangest of exes tonight
i'd love to build a sentry under the ground of gravelpit on a pub
i just remembered i cleared out my demos a week or two ago and i think i might've deleted my footage of me making 11 sentries on the roof of badwater while you could make infinite sentries

I'm quite confused how a group of folks, err excuse me, a competitive orginization can decide what is unbalanced without, ya know, testing it for a season or so.

Maybe they banned it so that they can test it in controlled conditions first?
Or am I giving them too much credit? I don't know much about competitive gaming.

"...only mights and maybes."
I'm always amused when I place a sentry that catches a rocket jumping soldier high into his jump, pelts him a bit, and then he falls to his death because he never made it up to where he wanted to land.
also is it just me or is the pellet spread on the FJ tighter than the normal shotty?
"...only mights and maybes."

I thought the exact opposite
I seem to get a lot more 3s from the FJ than the normal one

According to CEVO, natascha should be banned for 6v6.

natascha eats everything slightly more slowly than sasha with about 5 times more annoyance

Like backstabbing 5 people and getting away.
I then prove to be useless for the rest of the match
Because all your posts about it baffle me
Wrangler allows me to punch the one using it to death with my fist from behind
Delicious lack of auto targeting
Uber punching is the only type of punching
