Team Fortress 2: The Engineer Update Teaser Trailer - General

I remember when people were speculating that the Engineer was going to get a welding torch and hammer as weapons.

not enough evidence to be a reasonable assumption but i hope this means something's cooking

[QUOTE=Dr. Doughnut;52826188]And if nothing is, we'll probably just get something like Epistle 3?[/QUOTE] What do you mean? TF2 is hardly an abandoned project, we just got a massive update like a week ago lol. If you mean the story is abandoned, the wait between comics 5 and 6 was a whole fuckton longer than the time between 6 and now. I wouldn't hold my breath on it coming out [I]soon[/I], but I also think it's literally months/years too early to say that they've actually abandoned it. These comics take an enormous amount of time to make.

I remember those robot parts there was so much speculation around them. [url=https://imgbb.com/][img]https://thumb.ibb.co/jaqCY6/Screenshot_from_2017_10_27_09_54_56.png[/img][/url]

[QUOTE=LtKyle2;52825594]I just remember the facepunch server, or whatever the one that a lot of regulars here played, just up and disappearing one day. Fun times.[/QUOTE] I won't go into details, but let's just say that a lot of people threw tantrums around one particular evening, which led to the host servers immediately being taken down for good. Also, the server costs were eating the owner's wallet. I pretty much stopped playing TF2 after that. FPUK was the only thing keeping me from leaving. Fun Fact: MaxOfS2D was an admin there for some time. He was kind of an ass, but mostly cool. Nothing like the person he eventually became.

I've rewatched most of the official tf2 SFM videos and i still consider Meet the Heavy the best one along with Sniper. I think his simplicity and voice acting worked really well on portraying tf2 or maybe it's because i still consider him my favorite class\mascot

can we just move on from this engineer update thing and forget it existed [URL="https://facepunch.com/showthread.php?t=963632"]oh god please[/URL]

[QUOTE=GameDev;52825003]lol i remember getting so hyped for this update. hightower is still one of my fav maps[/QUOTE] Hightower is so fun. There's a point where no one even tries to cap anymore they just duke it out.

[QUOTE=usaokay;52824798]OH SHIT I can't wait for this update! I hope he gets some balance, such as the ability to pick up buildings and crafting mini-sentries.[/QUOTE] Bring back the level 3 mini sentry, it was so cute. [t]https://i.ytimg.com/vi/GEGLgOM2OFs/maxresdefault.jpg[/t]

[QUOTE=Mort Stroodle;52825898]I've sort of assumed that Valve had intended it to be Gray, but they ended up changing the story a bit later and so it wouldn't make much sense for it to be him. It could conceivably be used as a way for them to introduce a new Mann character, but at this point all the Manns (Menn?) we know about [sp]are dead, so it sort of seems like they're trying to close the book on the Mann family.[/sp] The best chance of that character being used is if [URL="http://www.teamfortress.com/pyromania/thepoopyjoefiles/04.html/"]The Administrator's big earth-shattering conspiracy[/URL] involves a secret Mann character that we haven't seen before.[/QUOTE] I always assumed that the torn person was whoever owns Spytech industries. It'd make sense considering the apparent running theme of all the big movers and shakers in the TF universe being on first name terms with each other, as well as the guy who makes a living out of manufacturing and selling subterfuge tools to professional non-persons to be the most carefully guarded character in the mythos info-wise.

This update looks lit. I hope there is new weapons that make the engineer more offensive, I feel like he could use it for the change in the meta. I hope there is new maps too...Im thinking of a payload map that goes..up a mountatin I also think how to make this update unique is rather than release the new content on a day per day basis, but rather the community would have to craft something engineer-related (a silver wrench maybe?) and whenever a number where crafted new content is posted. I dunno this is just speculation they could do something really wild and let the engineer move his buildings

how many more pages do we have to drag this joke on

Meet the Engineer was my fave TF2 character video. It had great personality and set design. [video=youtube;SNgNBsCI4EA]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SNgNBsCI4EA[/video]

[QUOTE=Simplemac3;52825861]We don't really know, they never clarified. It'd be a bit weird for him to be there though, considering Zepheniah tried to smother Gray in his crib before he was stolen by Eagles.[/QUOTE] [URL="https://wiki.teamfortress.com/w/images/c/c4/Sf13_mannbros_argue27.wav?t=20131030214128"]The ghost of Zepheniah says that Gray was his favourite son.[/URL] Presumably they made up at some point after Gray had grown up.
