Engineer Update: Day Three

[Hawk]

Engineer goes 75% heavy speed while transporting a building.

...transporting a building? Should we expect portable dispensers and teleporters too?

You KNOW this? or you speculate this?

hmm, yet another one of these photos...

 

[AgeNt_]

my predictions for the next is either:
new meet the team video
new melee weapon (other mentioned melee weapon)
new sentry (seen in pic)
trading
new game mode
community update

Nah, I don't really know this.

All I want is a Meet The video.

So most likely the portable buildings are his new slot-five: instead of his self-destruct PDA, a second toolbox for carrying buildings around in. (This will use the same slot as the cloak watches.)

ctrl+a :facepalm:

Shift + Arrows. Handy on laptops with crappy touchpads.

Looking forward to it, that's for sure. Really don't care for any of the new weapons (with the possible exception of the shotgun), just glad to see some new official maps and hopefully a boatload of tweaks. Hell maybe they'll actually make the mac version of TF2 playable...

[C00Kies]

Ya i cant wait for tomarrow.. just in time to try it on my new computer

 

[Prestige]

I remember saying that upward should end with a 90-degree angle. COMPENSATION NOW VALVE!

In regard to the Portable Sentry picture, my guess is that the toolbox will take up the Pistol weapon slot and allows you to move your buildings at a slower walk speed, but with no other downsides.

Movable Sentries or keeping your Pistol?

He's got the pistol in his hand on the third photo. 'course that could just be a pose.

I was guessing it'd remove the ability to destroy your buildings. Instead of destroying them, you have to move them.

That would be an interesting tradeoff, not sure how they would work it in with the character selection screen though.

I'm assuming it'd be a new PDA

 

[honeymustard]

Looks great. Hope the wrench is the PDQ.

Oh no! The extended exposition to this mysterious Australium turned Radigan into an Australian!

Change pistol to shotgun and, yeah, then that'll be a downside.

Since when was Hightower a single stage PLR map? Also, the inevitable question - is it Dario Casali's map?

Also, what up with this?

3 meanings: Valve has higher-res sentry models; the downside to the moveable sentry is related to the sentry itself; or it's part of the Wrangler.
