Blatant self-promotion: You can likely find a Cordilon TF2 server in the list now. Cycles through a few handfuls of control point, attack/defend, CTF, and payload maps.
Also, you have no idea how much people will offer you for a Vintage Bonk!...

No, he means Bonk.
Someone started giving me shit about only getting eight points in three rounds. I pointed out that I was only there for the third round. Next round ended fast, with a loss for my team. I stuck around, he continued being a twat, asking if I was sticking around for "another useless round". I go around a corner at one point and see someone there, oh look it's a spy. Oh look, it's the trash-talking retard, now bitching about w+m1 pyros, because clearly it wasn't the fault of an obvious hiding spot (and a little bit of luck in that I went there for healing). He then failed to accomplish much more than getting dominated by me and never managing a revenge kill.
End of match, my team won - but he left at some point before the end.
But what do you expect from someone named FUCKING FUCK FUCK?
(no I'm serious)
(that was his name)

Someone on my team once bitched that we were horrible and useless as a team, even though after our first loss on Gorge we won two times in a row after that and he was still towards the bottom of the scoreboard.
Teams scrambled and one of the better players on the other team ended up on my team while the whiny player was on the other team. The guy on my team went Spy and discovered the whiny player was using a hack to see where cloaked spies were at all times.
His team still lost.
And I was defending with a Gunslinger Engie.

I have to ask, how does one use the gunslinger properly? Damn near every time I've been up against an engie with it, they just try to drop a mini-sentry in front of me to slow me down, so I burn it and continue burning them, barely losing a couple seconds tops.
I mean, is it just something that's useless against pyros, or are these guys just doing it wrong?
Also I'm sick of Wranglers. I've picked up four of the goddamn things.

Gunslinger Engineer is the only way to play Engineer.
Set up Minisentries in obscured spots that can shoot people and support with Shotgun/Pistol or use the Wrangler to beef it up to jerk levels.  |

Place them, move them, move them, move them, move them.
Always use a Pistol and Frontier Justice with a Gunslinger. Reason being is that a Pistol for Engie has 200 ammo in reserve on spawn, meaning with all the kills and such, you NEVER run out of ammo. When you hear your Sentry shooting, run where it is and shoot your pistol like crazy at the target. This will either kill them or run them off where you can follow them and kill them.
One good tactic is slightly moving your sentry all the time. NEVER leave it in place. Soldiers will be quick to disarm them from a distance if teammates warn them, but constantly destroying them and rebuilding them or moving them is a good way to throw off the enemy.
Also, put them in the middle of firefights so it gets assists. Grab a few assists, destroy and build another, switch to Frontier Justice and unleash hell on troublesome enemies like Heavies and such. Works well.

Ah, thanks. Wouldn't have thought moving it was so important, I figured people just let them get destroyed and built new ones to fuel the Frontier Justice.
Good to know for when I eventually get one.

| Look forward to it! I found playing Engineer a boring, hateful task until I got one. Made me actually consider Engineer a class worth playing after the Gunslinger existed. |

Mini-Sentries are not that durable but the fact is that you can rack up some kills or take ammo from dead people around you and never stop building at all gives it much more of an advantage.
One thing to note is to also NEVER stop moving. When helping other Engies build up guns, whack it and strafe. Don't stand still and help upgrade. Spies can get you easily this way. I mean, that is a general Engie tactic but for Gunslinger it is more important. Place a sentry, run around and look. If you see an enemy making a small push elsewhere, destroy and build. Constantly be on the lookout. One enemy getting behind your sentry can kill it and you.
I don't get those that use the Wrangler instead of a Pistol considering the usefulness of the Pistol for the Engie.

Wrangled sentries take less damage and fire faster, the damage resistance is probably helpful in stopping soldiers from breaking your nest, as long as you can avoid the blast yourself. I just have trouble with the targeting. The only non-stock weapon I have on my engie is the Jag. (I've got a Short Circuit, but... eh. I can't even airblast rockets properly, doubt I could get much use out of that.)

Wearing the Nine-Pipe Problem and Private Eye on the Medic enables the "Eliminating The Impossible" item set, something that was added in March.
Wearing it now changes the descriptions of all the random items that were added yesterday.
