The flying sentry doesn't look as good as the other stuff, but it's a good concept gameplay-wise.
Maybe if air looked like manhack/bioshock flying turret, water looked like it does now (minus the trailing red... things), and the land looked like the water one shaped slightly differently with wheels attached without the propellers or the tail, then it would be okay.
I just don't think the Engineer's buildings should have any frilly stuff or anything unnecessary, because the Engie is a very, very practical man.

The propellers would stay because all it's doing is morphing. And it already looks like a bioshock flying turret.
I'm guessing that due to the way it tilts, the no turn would flip you off if you tried to stsand on it. Or at least alter it's angle so you slide off.
Ridiculously overcomplicated ideas there.
And if I see that damn dog one more time I swear...
Should have left the flying sentry as an Automated level 2 sentry that basically flies around after the Engi.
Website is down
Works for me.
If i see this darn dog one more flooking time, i fear for some lifes!
Website never worked for me :(

What's wrong with that cute dog, that guy just wanted to try something original, rather than redundant classes that looked like other classes.
Also, you, YES you. Stop jumping on bandwagons.
No he keeps posting it on completely inappropriate pages.
The multimode sentry looks cool, but the use of the water mode could be limited. Not that many of the official maps have deep water. Still a good idea though.
[QUOTE=ADT;21052370]The Flying Sentry is "over-powered" but you can't build teleporters anymore with this. And the flying sentry have a low accurancy. It makes sense to rate its use.
Also it's the best fake update I have ever seen. If you don't like it, so I am aware if you could do the same thing like him, you pretentious little boy.[/QUOTE]
I understand he put a lot of work into it. In that it's great.
But all his ideas are ridiculously overpowered. The 'Flying Sentry' idea is good, but it would be better as a Sentry Replacement, not a Teleporter replacement. And why does he give his ideas ridiculous amounts of metal? Why can't he just make them a bit less powerful?
The Doomsday Device seems like a rather odd concept as well. Too gimmicky. The Amplifier and the No Turn are okay, so I guess not all his ideas are as out of whack as I said.
Wait a minute. Low Accuracy? You mean high bullet spread, right? This still doesn't change the fact that it should be a replacement for the sentry, not the teleporter.
And I will ignore that statement on the end. If you want to turn this into a flame war, go right ahead, but I'll try to keep petty things like name-calling to a minimum. The 'Guard Dog' update was well executed but a bad idea, so if you feel it was good, good for you. I liked the production value, I just don't like the idea at all.
But i like flame wars.
Give me Gaybows to "fill me with peace " :smug:
The water version of the turret looks shit scary.

Well then, didn't know you liked his work before this post. Your previous one seemed to looks like you were frustrating, without sense, against this fake update.
My apologies anyway.
This fake update page is really well done, I tricked several people into believing it was real.

I should be the one apologizing, considering that I started the whole thing by being rather vague on my first post.
So yeah, sorry 'bout that.
That's a really creative update, I love all the animated stuff. Though some of the ideas I don't like, it's still nicely done.
I'd love to have that multi-mode sentry though.
I would like to see a flying, mobile Sentry, but I think that it should fill up the Sentry spot. Teleporters are too useful in all situations.
Awesome.
I can't view the site.

Someone upload pics of the site please, I've tried Firefox Chrome and Internet explorer but it doesn't work :crying:
Looks like there's a new sentry replacement called "Big Bertha". You can see it on the bluprint, but it's page isn't up yet.

Yes! I finally found out what's wrong with his designs.
They are a bit too "blocky", as in, the base is always a huge, undetailed box. It's mostly obvious on the No-Turn and that latest sentry. How would they ever fit into a little toolbox, and what would be their assembling animations? Even the Amplifier's huge ball would be able to fit, if the sphere could somehow "unfold" itself, but those compact boxes are so wrong, there is no way they could be any smaller if they look like that.
That took you almost 4 days
Big bertha looks friggin' cool :v:
It looks like one of those flakvierlings from WW2.

Big bertha sounds like a sentry with all the problems a normal sentry has, times 5.
big bertha is awesome
I would laugh if valve came out and accepted this as a second update, or just adopted some of these ideas.
Someone post pictures please it says it cant find the website
