If the sapper could quit, it would blow up the building and shower stickies everywhere that would blow up when the engie placed a new sentry. Balance THAT.

Circle and blut the guy, then suddenly dive in with the ubersaw. The blutting softens him up, keeps your health in the white, and -- this is important -- builds crit chance for the saw. I clobbered a spy, a scout, and a demoman with that trick just last night. WTF WHER U GET CRIT SAW ON DEMAND So you see you CAN use the blut to crit, you just have to use the medic's speed to control the range to your target.

I'm completely stuck, although Deus Ex has brilliant level design. Chased by police, I lept into a canal, gunfire slamming into the walls around me. I quickly swam to a closeby porch, heaved myself up and found myself in a fisherman's home. It's great bits like this that help the player to appreciate the level design.

Upon seeing the speed-run posted earlier and knowing it's high reputation, I've started playing Deus Ex myself. Currently searching for the illict NSF power-generator, and loving the game as a whole. It's in the details, such as Paul Denton's appreciation of life, that keep it miles above some of today's meager fare... and the fact that I'm completely unlike him in that regard, as many NPC's have pointed out. :D

I found that it lacked ranged killing power, and since I spend most of my time healing, I normally spycheck by just bumping into people. To be honest, I rarely use either of the medic's ranged weapons; I just know that you can build up a lot of crit potential that you can't tap into without the Syringe gun. http://www.pentadact.com/2008-12-12-thoughts-on-the-team-fortress-2-christmas-changes/#comment-40017 Roadrunner Wed, 17 Dec 2008 19:53:18 +0000 http://www.pentadact.com/index.php/2008-12-12-thoughts-on-the-team-fortress-2-christmas-changes#comment-40017 I don't think one single person who has it unlocked actually uses the regular syringegun i think O.o http://www.pentadact.com/2008-12-12-thoughts-on-the-team-fortress-2-christmas-changes/#comment-40016 DoctorDisaster Wed, 17 Dec 2008 19:47:27 +0000 http://www.pentadact.com/index.php/2008-12-12-thoughts-on-the-team-fortress-2-christmas-changes#comment-40016 @Aftershock: Healing to check for spies would be awesome if we didn't already have the blutsauger giveaway.

I can't get enough of the smooth, icy cold voice of Walton Simons. I'm playing faster just to see him again. @Roadrunner - I didn't know Valve were into Nietzsche.
