Who thinks Engineers are balanced as-is?

now you know what im talkin about road. Its ridiculious.

I was on last night and this was still going on. I noticed that it had caused the few of us that arent engineers to try and beat eachother to the kill. it was getting bloody and more then a few of us were getting extreamly frusterated. There were engineers on each end with all there tanks and such. it forced us to the only space there was where there wernt tanks or cars and such. the middle. it just turned into a frezy of gettingto the kill before someone else. I didnt like trying to beat one of my fellow players. I dont like what the situation its putting us in is all...

Amen to that PyRo. I have not yet read the entire thread, but am going to chime in quickly before hopping in to play a map or two....

I am one of the higher level LAs, and normally can score in the 800-1000 range, with some maps being 1200, with the likes of .Blade, Demon, and others in the top 40 club on the map. But of late, even with a Flak Energy 4, and my artifacts like triple, globe, and lightning, the past week, I have been hard pressed to score 500 on maps where we have more than one engineer on and I am one of the highest level players on. And sometimes even with just one engineer on, I cannot hit that point. And where am I forced to go to get that score... someplace where the engineer cannot reach and I am not having to deal with the blocks, which is generally where the LA character does not survive well with their lack of vamp and regen. It is only thanks to the likes of Brandi or one of the other medics that I am alive as much as I am.

Is there an imballance??? I will not definitely say there is at the moment and cannot qualify it, but I am leaning strongly that way. I do need to go through the screen caps I have of the F1 score board, my F3 stats and my RPG XP at the ends of the game to see how things have been the last week. But as I said in my other post, there are definitely some problems, some of which could be addressed by things like our being able to go through blocks, or just common curtesy (e.g. don't build a wall to block off the entire passage).

Well... I need some serious stimming, so I need to get out of here, reboot, and get into the game.
