Mike808 1 #2 Posted August 22, 2008 so this sentry gun looks nothing like wut it would in tf2 but i like the concept. wut do others think?? i thought about posting this it might be the engy update but its range would be horrible= useless Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PriiME 0 #3 Posted August 22, 2008 i thought about posting thisit might be the engy update but its range would be horrible= useless horrible and useless????? how many people round corner to get shot by sentry and retreat and still live, or do the lil strafe sticky thing with 3 stickys and reck yo shit. this sentry would be great for fighting, that light em on fire let em run. it could be a very useful sentry if ur a good engy and can pick the right spots.

You suck and have no life 203 #4 Posted August 22, 2008 1. udont know if it will come out. 2. u dont know its real range. 3. you dont know its damage output. 4. area of coverage = range^2 5. valve knows how to balance everything. There will be no new update that will be SUPER cool or far superior than others. gg/ thread Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Doxt 1 #5 Posted August 22, 2008 If you read the info it's fan made for a cgi contest. Nice animation however Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mike808 1 #6 Posted August 22, 2008 if this is real then it would be like a pyro with two flamethroweres that can't move Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mana 3,867 #7 Posted August 22, 2008 it might be the engy update Read the description of the video. Some random guy did it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mike808 1 #8 Posted August 22, 2008 Read the description of the video. Some random guy did it. yeah i know just maybe i cant wait for the engy, spy, sniper, and demo updates. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
coda 1 #9 Posted August 22, 2008 i cant wait for the engy, spy, sniper, and demo updates. screw that- all about scout updates. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nket 16 #10 Posted August 22, 2008 1. its useless, because you can hear sentries beeping and why would you make it so your sentry has an extremely limited range 2. how could he help you with spies, sentries don't attack teammates 3. if you had it right around a corner you might get 1 person before it gets bombed to hell from 10 feet away cause its a flamer thrower 4. I never hug corners because a regular sentry trashes you from a short distance! im sorry but i just dont think this sentry would be useful for anything.. unless it spent all its time spinning around shooting fire, put it in choke points so spies cant get by...

Doxt 1 #11 Posted August 22, 2008 screw that- all about scout updates. agreed btw, you can be hurt by your own sentries. So imagine one that would keep lighting you on fire. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Captain Falcon 0 #12 Posted August 22, 2008 could be good if it was like a level 3 sentry without rockets but fire and bullets. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
madmax 0 #13 Posted August 25, 2008 i think that the new patch will give engi different turrets Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mike808 1 #14 Posted August 25, 2008 i rather have 4 gatling guns than 2 guns and rockets. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DarkClaw 0 #15 Posted August 25, 2008 Engy will get nothing of the sort. If you haven't already checked... in the character info thing... the only thing that they're going to replace for the Engy are his weapons. New wrench, new shotty, new pistol (something of the sort). No where on there is a mention for new tech that the engy can build. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
EagleEyes 0 #16 Posted August 25, 2008 we'll see soon enough, a new sentry would certainly rock for the engy, but i dont believe a flamethrower sentry would be that effective... i would rather see flares instead of rockets, or a combination of gatling guns with flamethrowers at the very least Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Oww My Nose 19 #17 Posted August 25, 2008 you get a lvl 4 sg, which is a kart with 2 medics, with infinite uber, a soldier (unlimited ammo), a heavy, and a few despensors built in to recharge the heavy Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
friedrice 8 #18 Posted August 25, 2008 What if it had the air compressor? Then it could knock back stickies and rockets Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Camail 1 #19 Posted August 25, 2008 only palce it would be useful would be around corners, which is the ideal place you'd want it to be if you want a demo to kill it. Absolutely no effort in killing it. What I want to see is stick turrets, ceiling or walls. And traps would be nice too (not fatal though). Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rambler 0 #20 Posted August 26, 2008 I just wanted to point out that I am getting progressively stupider from reading this forum. Mainly Sucky dick boy. On topic and not so negative: That would be a pretty awesome update. It would definitely be fun to play around with, and would have certain advantages in different situations if it were real, and not just made for a graphics contest.

But if this gun could negate the demos ability to just sticky bomb it, then it wouldn't be worthless. But... I'm not sure how they could make that, and let's be honest, it's not coming out anyway!

Pavement 0 #22 Posted August 27, 2008 I would rather see engie get some sort of blow torch to replace the wrench. It would be like a super short range flame thrower that would let him identify spies. To make up for its loss in melee abilities, it could fix structures faster. idk... what I do know is that its very unlikely that the sentries will be changed. Every class gets their 3 weapons changed. Its like saying the spy will get a new disguise. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Yawn 0 #23 Posted September 5, 2008 I really don't know why people keep saying engineers will get some sort of Anti-spy add-on / unlock, If thats the case then why bother using the sapper at ALL and people who play spy ( smart spies ) would probably go on without sapping at all. The risk of getting spotted by a sentry flamethrower ( SUICIDE ) vs The risk of getting spotted by the enemy.. It seems the 2nd one would win.. The only thing i could say is a mobile sentry gun...Sentry gun on wheels but i really do doubt they would add flame throwers to sentries. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rydawg 14 #24 Posted September 5, 2008 I can see them giving a ceiling sentry to eng's, was in another version of TF a long ass time ago. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
