Engineer Update Ideas

[t00bz]

anyways, here's the stuff i can see in his little trailer thing that's not some stuff you guys have mentioned yet

-His guitar
-weird circular things
-some sort of weird bar thing at the 12 second mark, closest to the blueprints, not the one in front of you (look to the near-right) could we a shotgun replacement?
-weird little red shiny things at the bottom right at 18 seconds

[t00bz]

so when do you guys think the update's gonna come out?

My guess is May 12/13, because it's the same day steam on mac is released. Seems to make sense they would release it on the same day, for the new mac userbase.

oooo
the 12th is this tuesday est
that means it's released monday valve time...probably
that makes sense

[PhrozenFlame]

Remember how Valve Time works people.

Tomorrow-This Week
This Week=Next Week
Eventually=Never

If you'll notice his left hand, the one without the welder, is kept very close to whatever he is welding, he also looks directly at his index finger as if he was inspecting it, then he hits it with a hammer.

toasty, i'm pretty sure whatever he was looking at wasn't on his index finger
although true the part about keeping his fingers close to whatever he's welding
it seemed like he was thinking quickly when he was looking at his finger

robotz and hammers and traps

[Link]

I may as well just say it since the update hasn't happened yet.

1. A shotgun that shoots off sappers and does 20% less damage.
2. A mug of cream gravy that boosts you with sugar, makes you run 5% slower than a scout, swings melee faster.
3. I was gonna say sledge hammer, but the pyro already has it. A regular hammer/hatchet that changes the max ammount of ammo carried to 300, inputs 50 metal into buildings each time, heals buildings completely in one hit, 30% slower than wrench, 20% less damage than wrench, used mainly for building as hammers are meant for.
4. A kit including a custom set of sentry, dispenser and teleporter, new ones which would be:
a) I honestly can't say anything to argue with your sentry, Phrozen.
b) A dispenser that heals people 50% faster/second, 20% more ammo given/second, takes 40% longer to recharge metal, has 20% greater health, recharges baseball, soda, and jarate in 2 seconds, and sapping does 40% greater damage to it/second than normal.
c) Teleporter that takes 150 metal/level, four levels, forth will require a charge time of aprox. 1 second per use, takes 30 health from any who enter it, 2 seconds longer to set up than normal.

Again, though, it's probably already too late, but these are pretty good ideas in my opinion.

ok so there's gunna be some sorta australian robot, pretty sure on that, and I'll bet you guys that for melee weapon he gets a crowbar

Don't start. Engineer will never be Gordon Freeman.

C'mon you've seen that picture that guy's been showing around, and what better melee weapon for the engy than a crowbar?

[TheHazelRose]

Personally, the crowbar sounds pretty cool.

[PhrozenFlame]

C'mon you've seen that picture that guy's been showing around, and what better melee weapon for the engy than a crowbar?

Crecent Wrench, Blowtorch, Hammer. Also, anyone else think that the Sniper should have gotten a Boomerang as his melee weapon?

[TheHazelRose]

My God, Yes. They still need to make that a weapon.

you're wrong on all of those, the pyro already has a sledge hammer why would they put a tiny little hammer in there? blowtorch just seems like a bad idea, and I don't even know what to say about the Crescent (with an S phrozen) wrench

the thing is, we know he's getting a robot and a new shotgun, and I am almost certain he will get a crowbar

I'm pretty sure the update will focus on new buildings, and a new shotgun. So, I'm calling no new melee weapon.

[thedoghouse]

even if the crowbar isn't in THE engy update I figure it'll be in at least a community update sometime

[Tampashrew]

Engineer could get a new pda. This one builds stuff 50% faster but the things it build would be less efficient than the original buildings. That would make the engineer slightly more offensive. More capable of building a forward base in the enemy territory.

For the sniper, give him a damned didgeridoo to beat the crap out of people with already.

[BAMF]

Actually, I'm calling it now: the shotgun won't be in the update and valve will never answer any questions about why it was there. They will then randomly put this shotgun in both HL2:EPS3 and Portal 2, but it can't be used. It will then be a weapon in a new l4d dlc, in which Louis rants about who pissed he was when the zombie came three days before the engie update release, and this shotgun.

Suddenly, Barack Obama is assassinated by a single shotgun shell. They find the weapon, but the perp. The weapon is the new shotgun.

Modified Level 3 sentry that can be completely controlled by the engineer from a distance.

Mouse1=Fires chainguns
Mouse 2=Fires rockets.

I call it: A Level 4 sentry.

Boom. Right there.

there wont be a level 4 sentry and I think your sentry sounds like a good idea almost, I could see there being like a chair that the engy would sit in and then control the sentry, like if you right-clicked on it with the wrench?

Ive been thinking about his guitar for his next melee weapon

Toasty will KILL YOU if you submit that.

No Seriously.

KILL.

Well apperently now that the engieneer up date has come, he DOES get his guitar.. well what do you know about that? Plus im still alive. Nice try though.
