One of the best tips I learned from Dane is when building a sneaky turret have it face a wall. This gives people just enough time to walk too far past a corner. Once they realize they're being shot by a level 2 sentry (the ultimate sneaky turret) it's too late to go back.
only works if they don't hear the sentry tho. If they do they will spot it before being shot at. (That being said, non-turned sentry is as obvious for them anyway)
I forgot who said it, but I remember a TF2ber realizing that “the entire meta is just about who can annoy the enemy more,” _or something to that effect…_

I was being absolutely dominated by an engineer named baguetties on a dustbowl match when I was playing as demopan. Thought he was one of those serious players until I was in the little tunnel on the final battlefield and he appeared next to me. I sort of just looked at him, and so did he. He built a Tele, destroyed it, and then proceeded to kill bind, which I promptly followed. Truly a tf2 moment.

Ikr? Sadly, it's pretty rare for the team to actually help engie a lot of the time. There's been so many times where I'll have a great tele up for half the match, but only like 2 people actually use it.
Jag is actually one of the best wrenches. The faster swing speed allows for faster set up, and if equipped with the Rescue Ranger, you can negate the downside of repair speed. It’s great for defense when you’re getting rolled and need a sentry up fast
When you return to tf2 after years of not playing it and all the RUclipsrs you used to watch don’t make tf2 vids anymore... but then you find a nice and well made channel like this... things could be worse :)
This makes me nostalgic, I mained engineer for years playing just like this. Haven’t played in years, but this definitely gives me the itch. I especially loved doing this on koth maps. What I learned? A bad sentry spot is an amazing sentry spot for the first two kills, then you move. Level 3 guns are a trap, the extra ~second of deploy time isn’t worth the rocket damage. Fight with your sentry, don’t tank your gun. Even better when you’re flanking the enemy with your gun. Carrying your gun is overrated, often it’s just better to rebuild somewhere else. The difference between this and ninjaneering is constantly moving your gun. The only feeling better than catching your opponent off guard with a weird sentry spot is catching them off guard AGAIN by moving your gun slightly to catch them where they think they’ll be safe.
Good to see you play on the infamous Sydney Servers as well, I've actually seen and played with [][]Hungry Femboy[][] and DangerousDpad before. Look out for a mate called Donno, that's me!
I haven't played TF2 in years, but it's so awesome watching you have so much fun. I miss this game, definitely have some great memories of playing Spy and torturing hard-working engies.
8:50 at this point you should have the Eureka effect and place BOTH teleporters behind enemy lines. Then when they’re waiting, you can do the funny and taunt at them.
The engineer has the same DPS and health as a scout. I've always played him this way actually, it's like playing scout except if your enemies ignore this massive gun you're building they die.
Not QUITE the same DPS as scout. Since the scout's scattergun has higher ramp up, he can get up to 105 damage at point blank, as opposed to engi's max of 90 per shot. There are very few scenarios where this matters, but hey. Potentially 3 shotting a heavy instead of needing a critical 4th shot.
Elmaxo constantly saying he needs to get angry is making me forget that this isn’t a fatmagic video. speaking of, this video is totally a shotgun default taunt
When I still played years ago I loved doing this… offensive engineering is super fun. Get a really clever spot and use yourself as bait and you can get a few easy kills before having to look for another spot.
I like playing aggressive engie with meta-ish holding spots and then the texan is so far away from the machine getting frags and once it gets sapped or damaged I use my eureka effect and teleport back, fix everything, slightly move my builds so the enemy doesn't know where they are anymore, rinse and repeat
and people say the gunslinger is for battle engineer I literally just put down a level 3 during a 1v1 and watch the opponent give up all hope sure, it only works 1/5 times but when it does work its kinda funny *kinda*
I think it's best to spam mini sentries and always abandon them. I've basically tried what you are doing. It's okay, but not always as effective as being actually even more aggressive, or a distraction to them, and also using the mini. I like to get a few shotgun hits to bait people to chase me, and then I have a sentry behind the rock or wall that they walk past so they get mowed down. Works best on scouts.
Back in the day in TFClassic you could build SG's and dispensers to block teammates into a room where your exit was built. It's the 4th engie character in the universe: The Spy-Engineer-Spy
Have you seen that Engineer can theoretically get a high god like Killstreak by doing nothing? Assuming the sentry doesn't get sapped, destroyed, or run out of ammo, the only thing you would need to do is have a Killstreak wrench.
I love being aggressive while having a Funny Sentry. Usually I just place a Level 1 down somewhere, and noone expects it and/or they get too overzealous and die or get weakened fir the rest of the team to kill. I did some Funny Sentrying non Well CTF, ecently, actually, but then it ended up with me making bases in the other team's water and causing them to be afraid of water.
If you want to use that badwater ninjaneering sort of spot my recommendation is: Place the teleporter near blue's initial spot once the spawn moves up, it'll take longer for blue to find it. Second, put a dispenser on the stairway to block/slow spies coming in, disguised spies can't walk through your buildings so they need to walk around it making it very easy to two shot them. Lastly, put the sentry a bit further to the right so it can start shooting at enemies before they can jump over the guard railing, the knockback will be angled downwards making it hard to get over the rails.
Man ive been doing this for years, most fun ive had in my life. Ive found that the jag, pistol, and shotgun are most fun combo, but thats just me. I sometimes use minis but I find they die too fast compared to my usual level 2.
This is my favorite playstyle as engineer, and it's underrated af. My best time happened on cascade (the snowy koth map) where I set up a nest right behind the point, and stayed on the frontlines 90% of the time, pushing back soldiers, demos, mostly ignoring scouts and pyros, and even chasing after heavies. I doubt my nest even got half of the points that round. Some of the most fun I've had in tf2.
The reason why your team rolled em so hard, is cas your big brain play of bating the enemy team into a fight at spawn, starved the enemy team of people to stop your team from pushing the cart. o7 nice goin par'ner
Ultimate aggressive-engie loadout: stock pistol for maps with long distances or wrangler for ambushes, panic attack for close-quarters or shotgun for more open maps, ALWAYS jag for melee (saves precious time deploying sentries in stupid places). Another option is to equip the rescue ranger, use your sentry to rocket jump to a place an engineer shouldn't be able to reach, then use the rescue ranger to pick up the sentry from up there and place it, and watch as people get really confused.
My favorite loadout is jag with the stock shotgun, it's so fun to have people expecting a rescue ranger engie because all engies use the ranger and surprise them with the shotgun
I've seen your videos in my recommended for a while but just recently checked them out, i'm getting muselk, ardy, and funke vibes all at once and i'm loving it. kudos man
When you see in the game chat ''why would you build that there?'' from the other team when it kills someone, you're onto a winner.

it goes both ways, the more aggressive you are, the more aggressive your enemy becomes

This takes gaming as engineer to a whole nother level.
