What if the Engineer Built...

[Shradow]

And thus Mercs vs. TOBOR mode was born.

(Works similar to PvZ.)

Okay. Hope my ideas helped. If you do start taking these concepts into a serious testing phase, I'll offer my input.

Spy: Portable Baccarat Detector

Never miss another hand of the world's classiest card game! If there is a game of baccarat within two hundred miles of you, you will know. This EASY-TO-CONCEAL device is no larger or heavier than a standard car engine, and will detect any type of baccarat, from BACCARAT CHEMIN DE FER to BACCARAT BANQUE.

(Please note: The baccarat detector DOES NOT recognize punto banco as a form of baccarat. We're sure we do not have to tell you that Baccarat is to punto banco what a fine wine is to a toilet full of spoiled meat.)

Mini-flame sentry for pyro, slightly buffed health, low range.

"We" as in "Engineer sub forum". And Demoman sub forum, I think. I've been here since the subforums were created, and he's right, in that landmines have been discussed, and dismissed.

I haven't had an idea get to the "serious testing phase" since before the Engineer update, and even then I wasn't the one doing the testing. This is a fun exercise.

While I applaud the effort, I really must groan at the word-for-word copy/paste from the blog.

The Battery
It's, like, a battery. It generates power for buildings.

Scout- Tachyon Manipulator: Every teammate within a certain distance of the building would get a temporary speed boost, as if struck by the DA.

Soldier- SAM Site: A missile turret, ordinarily sluggish and unimpressive, but airborne targets will be struck by fast and powerful homing missiles. Don't jump!

Pyro- Microwave Projector: Works similar to typical sentries, but fires a stream of scorching hot energy. Damage starts low, but increases as the weapon is fired continuously. Cools down when not actively firing.

Demoman- Minelayer: Doesn't actively fire at enemies, but when left on its own it scatters land mines that detonate when stepped on. It plants these randomly on walkable surfaces within a radius of itself.

Heavy- MG Nest: A mounted machine gun that fires powerful but inaccurate rounds that slow down the enemy upon successful hits.

Medic- Stimulant Injector: Teammates who stop for a moment at this device are given benefits like slow health regeneration and a small addition to max HP. These benefits last until said player dies and respawns.

Sniper- Targeting Computer: Actively searches for enemies within line of sight and highlights them with a bright laser. Highlighted enemies are very visible. Teammates who fire on highlighted targets will get a crit rate buff.

Spy- EMP Generator: Periodically disables all enemy buildings for a few moments within a respectable radius. Aggressive engineers will plant this near enemy lines, and hope their team has good timing.

I think it would be cool if every class could build a utilty building.

Scout: Brain Scrambler
Slows enemies down.


Soldier: Launch pad
Jumping here causes you to leap into the air


Pyro: Mmmmphmmph
Causes Items such as jarate to regenerate faster and items such as the buff banner to slowly regenerate over time.


Demoman: de-ammo-eye-nator
Causes the enemies reserve ammo to slowly deplete over time


Heavy: Shield thingy
Allies inside of the shield may not be affected by crits or mini crits. Thrown objects such as jarate bounce off.

Engineer
Uhhmmm...

Medic: Woc-p (With our combined power)
For every team mate with full or overhealed health the team recieves 1% speed boost

Sniper: L-K 8000 (lettem Know 8000)
After every kill the sniper makes every units position is revealed (except for cloaked and disguised spies) Just like the pay load care

Spy: Who-What-Huh?
Spawns a random class hologram every 30 seconds with 40 health to wander around the map and attract attention.

This is closer to what I'm looking for.

Bump for this threads awesomeness potential.
