Class Training, Engineer 101; July 24

[Armadillo of Doom]

This event is going to be a lot more interactive Obviously the Medic Training was mostly theory, since it's hard to actually practice Medic skills in a controlled environment. For this one, I will cover the general strategies of playing Engie, as well as specific tactics for Well, Dustbowl, & 2fort. And unlike the Medic, this is stuff where everyone can participate in the training Friday evening at 7:00pm/1900 CST on the U.S. server. I tried the no-password route last time, and it was a miserable failure. So once again, the server will be locked w/ "TF2Mapsnet". Hope to see you all there!

Fun fun fun.

I will be there. I know a fair bit about engineering on 2fort.

 

[Owlruler]

damn, I'm off to Wales for a week otherwise I would join!

 

[captainAngry]

I can tell you right now, there is no SG on 2 fort that cannot be taken out by a soldier.

 

[Nineaxis]

I'll do my best to make it, quite sad I missed the Medic one.

 

[Gaw]

GMT+1 time?

Engi... 2fort

WTF. WTF. WTF.

There's nothing to engi on 2fort. There's not much to 2fort in general. Not like I'd like to know much about 2fort.

I can tell you right now, there is no SG on 2 fort that cannot be taken out by a soldier or a demo.

That's a true story. And that's all there is to engi on 2fort.

You should do GPit or arena instead since Gpit has little health and arena would be interesting.

 

[Shmitz]

Dustbowl and Badwater would seem like more logical choices for "engineer training".

You have saracasm'd all over my happy moment I would therefore encourage you to not participate

It's ok to be sad. The truth sometimes hurts. And in the words of Colonel Nathan R. Jessep, "You can't handle the truth!"

 

[Fraz]

2fort is actually an easy quick way to earn points. If you play well. Just set up a lvl one SG outside, and run away to get the enemies attention, so they have to choose between killing you and the SG.

Can you upload the demo please?

 

[Armadillo of Doom]

Sorry for the delay. Demo files have been uploaded; http://forums.tf2maps.net/downloads.php?do=file&id=2046

Soldiers? Taking down sentries? On 2fort?

That one slaps me on the knee!

Or were you serious?

I'd be happy to show you some time

 

[Penguin]

Please do. I've only seen this happen a handful of times, usual due to crits or uber.

I mean, sure, there are some vastly open places to put a sentry that a soldier could kill it, but that's not what I do.

Then again, I play on pub 2fort. I'm sure a compotent Soldier is far from what I'm used to dealing with.
