[@onimus1235]

There was this one f2p who kept placing his sentry next to mine, and after the fourth time, I was like, "Right, I'll teach him for about five minutes.". So I channeled my inner Dane, and taught him the basics, he thanked me and we went on to play the round. Now, I thought that would end there. Yet, I was wrong. It was about 10 seconds left on the clock. The payload was dangerously close to the last point. I was repairing my sentry, and the worst thing that could have happened at that moment decided to happen. A soldier, with direct hit, shot a crocket right at me. I was out of metal, my sentry was busy supressing a heavy and medic combo, and it was only at 20ish health. I was scared, and out of nowhere, the f2p jumps into the crocket, dying, and saving my sentry. I was about to celebrate as the heavy and medic had been killed by my undisturbed sentry, but I heard a cloak right behind me, and at that moment my mouse decided to be a cunt. I heard a beep, coming from behind me, and the spy's body flew over me. It was the f2p engie's sentry. He placed it behind me and ran infront to protect my sentry. He did 500 hours worth of skill, and he thanked my five minutes of teaching. We won the game. I have no idea where that player is now. But damn I will never forget him.

[@themonkeyman2910]

I always wondered what “Pick” classes were. Then I realized. Pick classes like Scout, Sniper or Spy specialize in single target elimination. They aren’t suited to deal with large groups of enemies, but excel in duels. Power classes like Demoman, Soldier, and Heavy are front-line classes. They are meant to take lots of hits, or deal insane damage. They are much better suited for dealing with large groups then Pick classes. But can easily be overwhelmed if alone. Support classes like Engineer and Medic are self explanatory. They support the Pick and Power classes with healing, ammo, or teleports to the frontlines. They aren’t meant to be in combat, and are better suited to SUPPORTING their team.

[@victorvirgili4447]

Here’s some more details: -Pick classes are like assassins. They kill lone and distracted targets very effectively and can deal inmense burst damage, especially when flanking -Power classes are centered around feeling like a bossfight. They deal lots of damage and can tank a lot of hits, but that’s about it -Support classes often help Power classes a lot more, sometimes being able to turn a bossfight into pure unbridled amounts of destruction. Or they’re hoovies

If there are too many engies, for the love of God go pybro. You'll not only be able to support your team with airblasts (You can click RMB to save people from burning to death) but also cover your sentries from spies and if you're good at airblasting, rockets too.

[@ColeBlueford]

Not only can pyro do all of those useful things, but they can also equip melee weapons that allow the destruction of sappers, so they can also help remove the sappers after they've torched the spy. Really helpful, especially if a spy played risky and killed the engineer before sapping everything.

[@Lucifer_Nihilum]

I'd say that if your inside another Engi's nest you shouldn't necessarily be building anything except, maybe, a dispenser. And if you building a dispenser in between pushes, sharing metal I think would be a net positive before the next push.

[@notrod5341]

This needs to be required viewing before playing the game.

[@engieturtle8463]

Valve needs to make this a compulsory video for engines to watch once the decide to play the class I swear to god there's nothing more annoying then the things on this list.

Not building their own dispenser drives me nuts, and I'm happy to help them build it, just don't drain mine.

[@magmamaster1801]

Glad I found this channel. While I consider myself pretty good at the game, Engi is a class I always considered myself to be shit at and I was afraid of it being boring because I thought turtleing was the correct way to play him. Now I am starting to realize that engineer is awesome and especially fun to play even on offense. You get to help your team keep up the pressure with teleporters, prevent enemies from regaining ground with sentries that are at the same time not as aggressively attacked as they would be on defense and you get to take pressure off your medics with the dispenser.

4:22 and here you have what I do. I literally have no main. 1500 hrs in and I haven't picked one. I just go for whatever the team needs, when they need it. I'm decent at rocket jumping decent at trimping, decent at quickscoping, decent at building positioning and placement, decent at trickstabbing and disguise/cloak management, decent at heavy and decent at positioning in fights as medic. So basically, I'm a generalist. Jack of all trades, master of none.

When I get TF2, I'll be a F2P player, but I'll play like I'm a P2P player. I'm not a noob. Give me a week to learn and get used to the controls, and I may be the best engineer on the noobs' team. I mean, that's the way I am. It's like I'm pre-programmed with the ability to learn quickly.

7:41 this is my favorite part of this video

[@lordkaos31]

When ever I hear about cooperative engineering all I can think about is one of my first times playing the class and getting into the game at this point I dint know about the ups and downs of level 2 vs 3 so I always just tried to get it to level 3 so I placed a sentry and went to go get more metal from. Spawn when I was stoped by the collective force of about 4 or 5 engines all with different wrenches and hats rushing past me to my sentry there were soo many I actually could not see my sentry about 2 or 3 second later they all scattered and just standing there was a level 3 sentry I laughed soo hard at the site I mean that was like I was redeploying a level 3 but so how faster I just stood and stared at the cluster of engies huddling around my level one by the way it wasn’t built yet that parts unimportant but I still think it’s interesting to think they deployed it built it leveled it up to 3 all within the span of 2 seconds!

[@MurriciTerceiro]

that might be funny af all of them screaming together like those Finding Nemo seagulls "MINE MINE MINE" around the sentry, and then they go away in an undefined mass build a nest

Uncle Dane: you can’t fire in two directions at once x10 Beggar Bazooka Soldiers: I’m about to do what’s called a pro gamer move

[@connorfries8297]

I’d have to disagree with the chart you had about the pick power and support classes. The only changes I would make is having scout be a pick/power, not a pick, and having soldier be a power. The reason for this is that scout is fast, and is thus able to get in, drop the medic, and get out, but scout’s mobility allows him to dodge many enemy attacks, allowing him to sustain himself in a fight similarly to a heavy with good damage to match it. For soldier I would argue that while his rocket jumping can allow him to be even faster than scout, demo can sticky jump and is still a power class. Not to mention soldier’s banners help his team more when he is near them in the fight. Where do you often see pick classes? Sniper is far away sniping, and spy is in the middle of the enemy stabbing. Where do you see power classes? The frontline. Soldier fits much more in the pier classes section. Not to mention that ubercharge tends to be more effective on power classes and soldier is arguably the best all around Uber target. Oh by the way I love this video and this is just a little nitpick keep being awesome :)

[@kirbyfreakyt4695]

[@dalelash2nd743]

I LOVE YOUR VIDEOS MAN! They'll really help me be a better Engie Main. Both defensively and offensively. At first I usually switch the Medic with a Kritzkrieg when on BLU who primarily attack. But watchin' your vids help me learn Engie can be just as effective. Plus, I see that stickin' by your sentry when on defense ain't always the best idea. But perhaps you could help me with somethin', ja? I'm trying to figure what would be good loadouts for offense and defense. Here's what I was thinkin'. Defense: Rescue Ranger, Wrangler, and either the Jag or Southern Hospitality. Offense: either Frontier Justice, Widowmaker, or Panic Attack, Pistol, and Gunslinger. Let me know what you think of this please.

I think a good analogy for grouping buildings together is that it's like 2 medics healing the same heal target; Yeah, they're *less* likely to die, kinda, but you also handicap eachother even more than you are more effective together, spreading your heals amongst your team is very much more effective.

The worst thing is when they put a sentry right in front of yours!

[@graysongdl]

What should I do if my friendly engineer is a gibusvision who won't stop putting his sentry next to mine? Example: I build my sentry. He puts it next to mine, so I move mine. He then proceeds to pick his up, and follow me to where I move my sentry to. What do I do if this happens? Should I keep moving hoping he'll get the hint after the 20th time? Or should I just give up and let the sentries be next to each other? Should I switch to something else, crippling the defense by leaving the entirety of it in the hands of a gibusvision engineer who can't even protect his own sentry? I mean it's not like anyone else is gonna do it, considering everyone else (except gibgineer) is on offense, and we're ALREADY losing. (This hypothetical example slowly turned into a not-so-hypothetical real example. This actually happened, and he just would not get the hint.) As a bit of an extension, what do I do if he doesn't read chat, I don't have voice communication to hint him with, and he ignores your "I want YOU to build your sentry someplace else (not next to mine)" poster spray that I keep putting next to our sentries and in front of him hoping he'll get the hint, but he just never does?
