TF2 SGs...

Via Steam, here is the concept art for the SGs in TF2.

They are fairly big so I am not going to stretch out the page with the pictures; I am just going to link.

What do you guys think? I noticed that the chainguns on the level 2 and level 3 (in the render, first picture) are the same... I wonder if this is a balance change or if the rate of fire will improve when you upgrade from 2 to 3.

I had posted this before in the TF2 (delayed) thread. level 2 and 3 look similar. In TFC the level 3 sentrygun was only worth to upgrade because of it's health. the rocket upgrade was most likely useless because the missile usually only hit the own team. maybe they finally add something like an auto-missle or something. that would be at least valuable.

lol, sg rockets aren't useless, the splash damage often kills people either just ducking behind a wall or, and this may be crazy concept, have you played A vs D? Compare l2 vs l3 SG at the gate on any level...

well ok that might be true in AvD but as in CTF it's hardly useful. most ppl see rockets coming and won't just wait till it smashes them. just take an example monkey or shutdown2. offy usually concs on the flag. the only person being hit by the rocket is the defender who tried to defend the flag. it's not really helpful

If the gun is hitting someone they get pinned down and hit by the rocket. If the gun isn't hitting them then no loss anyway. Sometimes someone will agro an sg but jump around a corner before it hits them, then jump back with a primed grenade just in time to get hit in the face with the rocket. I see this happen strangely often.

ja I kinda need to degrade my first two posts. I can see your point. it's true that the sg is still doing damage at times. but I still think that the level 3 sg in tfc(ctf) is not as good as it should be. it usually doesn't stand a chance vs a good offy player nowadays.
