So the TF2 Engineer update is out, and you get into a game with 20 people and 14 of them are engineers...

The two Items I have (out of the four added) are pretty cool, the shotgun especially (When your turret gets destroyed, you gain one free Critical shot. I had 8 Critical shots running around pwning people at one time).

Don't you get crits for every two people the turret killed before it is destroyed? Or something...

Anyway, the update makes engineers a bit more fun than just sitting at the back humping your sentry. That said, playing dustbowl with 22 engies, a doc and myself as a heavy was an interesting experience. Doesn't make for a good game.

The Gunslinger + Frontier Justice is now my 3rd favorite combination. Behind Jarate + Hunstman, and Direct Hit + Gunboats.

Yay I might have to get back into TF2 now, alwaysed liked being an engie XD

God I wish the PS3 version got 1/4 of the attention the PC guys get. Its practically a different game when you compare the 2. Its BS!

Blame Sony. They didn't want to pay for the DLC so that it could be released.

I love TF2 but didnt really play it until all the characters where upgraded.

For me, its the best FPS out there. Each class has so much character and if you get bored of one, jump to another.

I dont mind the "everyones an engineer" thing. Makes for some interesting games. Play a spy and try to sap them all. haha

It's 2 for every kill the sentry got, 1 revenge crit for every assist it got before ti died. Figured that out a few days ago.

Engineer Fortress 2 is a lot of fun. Problem is that every game is a stalemate since everyone's just bunkering up because of the Engy update. The new gametype and map are great too.

I think I've sunk 60 hours into my favorite war-themed hat collection simulator. Just curious where Valve can go from here with TF2.

I kinda hope they buff the Spy, now that everyone and their mother can counter him....

Mind you, this is coming from somone who is just learning how to play the spy.
