During that repair break, is the sentry protected or not?
Because like you said, the shield is there until the sentry gets concious again.
Not really tested, but I assume it is no longer protected and already in the 3 seconds inactive state. Valve really should either immediately make the shield disappear or at least change color (e.g. a pale yellow) to clearly mark the inactive state. The sentry does tilt down while it's inactive (oh...and obviously it won't shoot at you  ) And of course the target laser is gone. Still .... |

Well, from the limited knowledge I have yet assembled so far I think the efect for the standard way to play engy (means NOT the new dropping mini-sentries kinda offensive engy) very much stays the same:
Have a team that supports you and you can rule, have a team leaving you alone and you will die miserably. A lot!

I kinda like the new plr map. Intense fight on the lift in the end.
Had good games on that one.
Our team also managed to push on the desert pl map to the end. But the cause of that maybe was the imbalance of the teams.

I played Hightower on our server earlier today... and I think it was the least fun I've ever had playing TF2. Actually felt worse than a 2fort 24/7 server... everyone just running out of spawn doing their own thing. And no-one ever wins because the kart goes right past the enemy spawn. :-/ Major hate for Hightower. Edit: Either Hightower or upward, whichever is Payload race. Edit2: Having now read that, it's clear that the good folks at RPS don't really play TF2 a great deal or very seriously. But still feel qualified to comment. |

hightower was a good idea but it was executed terribly. it usually comes down to one side having their cart at the tower and the other just holding them off. i can't see it ever reaching the point where both the carts are on the tower.
one side get slightly ahead and the other team is almost destined to loose.
i don't think its like 2 fort though as its the opposite of the static defence scenario, free movement everywhere but its all filled with spam.

Hey guys, I've got a great idea: let's create a map where the teams are forced to at least temporarily spawncamp!

Valve's latest design philosophy. Was playing Thunder Mountain earlier, same thing happened... you spawn, and you're at the enemy spawn. You kill them, because that's the point... it's silly. |

But... but... it's a pile of shit. I can't quite make out the map tbh. Fill it with players who don't know what they're doing and then the map is fun for a very short time. Fill it with WDG clan and our loyal regs and the map becomes a meat grinder... (i.e. people start paying attention to the cart and cover areas of the map effectively). Still. pl_upward and pl_thundermountain makes the other maps look like a shining triumph of map building excellence. pl_thundermountain - stage 3 is a fairground rollercoaster and is by far, the worst map I have ever seen + played I actually prefer 2Fort to this! lol |

Only played hightower for now, and I got to say: it's fun with max 8 players.
Increase it to 32 and it becomes one giant spam-clusterfuck.

24 is official max players so in fairness those maps wern't balanced for 32 player spam fests.
