 Re: Engineer Update
I think the changes will be more subtle.
Perhaps a dispenser that heals more, but provides no metal--more for aiding a front line party than building sentries and the like.
I really like the idea of a whole new set of buildings that increases the engineer's offensive capabilities--mobile dispensers, quicker sentries, teleporters that send to where the engineer currently is.
The game is going to be nigh unplayable during the engie update, though. Everyone playing engineer, trying to get achievements and try out their new equipment? Ugh. When I heard that soldier and demo were getting an update, I assumed that engie would be getting one at the same time. Nothing counters engie spam like equal quantities of demo/solly spam.
Looks like that won't be the case though.
EDIT: I like stuff that slows you down. Currently, only Natascha does that, and it bugs the living hell out of me. Mostly, because it's a good strategy and I -still- don't know how to effectively counter it. Mayhaps the engie gets some way to slow entire groups of enemies passing through a certain area, making them easier targets.  |
