And class can counter a minisentry. Pyros and Medics destroy mine easily (as do Snipers). Any class can take down a minisentry EASILY and continue with whatever they were doing. Scoots can easily run away from a minisentry in four seconds and continue to pick off other enemies. You're basically saying that if you see a minisentry, you are FORCED to battle with it to the death.

Well, the key with a minisentry is that you have TWO targets, you have a small sentry gun that puts out a reasonable amount of fire, and then you have an engineer with a shotgun who can put out quite a lot of damage himself too, and thats ignoring any other team members that might be around. I agree, if it is just a pyro and a minisentry, the pyro will probably win, but thats not the point of a minisentry, you don't just put it there and leave it.

The whole point of a minisentry is to deploy and leave it in a high tension area, that's why it's so expendable and has such a low deploy time. I personally don't stand around a sentry I cannot even fix anyways.

That's one use for it, but I don't think its the best one. Since you can't repair it, there is no reason not to just hang around as long as you can and use your shotgun to good effect. You might just be really bad at aiming with the shotgun, but it does quite a bit of damage if used properly, and combined with a minisentry, you can quickly and easily take down a few people before having your minisentry destroyed, and then you can retreat, get more ammo and health, and do it again.

And that's another use for it. I usually just drop it at the end of that bridge on 2fort in front of the enemy base, so it gets dumb snipers and scouts. I fool pyros but deploying it while they are chasing me, and when they stand and light it up to destroy it before it's fully deployed, I just start firing off my pistol. I NEVER use my shotgun at all. A pistol would be much better when combined with the minisentry, since nobody is going to walk close enough to a minisentry that you can get a nice shot with your shotgun.

I play scout quite a bit and I pride myself in 1/2-shotting sentry guns with my force-a-nature :\

I'd like to know what spy loadout you use. I sometimes really like the deadringer because it's hilarious for trolling XD (unless it's a heavy or pyro)
I also use the cloak and dagger and sit in one spot like a pansy :\
Ambassador because it looks beautiful...that's really my only reasoning there.

Ambassador because the utility from the headshots is impossiible to replace.
Stock knife, or occasionally the conniver's kunai, cause those are the best knives IMO.
Invis watch 80% of the time, CnD if I don't need to move so much, and DR when lots of spam.

[wtf is a Nitromonkey?]

Some dumb scout taunted after he "killed" me while I had my DR out. I decloak right behind while hes still laughing and I backstabbed him, and counter taunted afterwards.

Excuse the double post but I'm wondering what graphic settings/fps you guys get.
Don't laugh but DX8.1 Average around 20 fps in fire fights .

There is a Saharan Spy set. If you got Familiar Fez, complete the set and get dead ringer.

20 fps isn't that bad, but if you want higher fps enter some start codes for it.
Some I use are -dxlevel 80 and -novid (skips valve intro) my current one doesn't lag at all because I use -dxlevel 80 -novid -windowed -w 640 -h 400 but I am just testing it out to see if it's any better.

Think about it this way. Here are the classes that counter a mini-sentry:
Soldier
Demoman
Heavy
Spy

Pyro?

1.)Stand behind corner with sentry on other side.
2.)Burn sentry without getting in its view.
3.)???
4.)Profit.

Or just jump out of nowhere and burn it, which is what I usually do.

You know you can just press SPACE to skip it too?

Pyro isn't good at all for taking down sentries, first you get to get in the reach of your flamethrower's radius then waste half of your ammo taking it out.

And I mean it loads the screen completely, saves time if you ask me.

You can, but then you have to hit space every time. Personally I use -sw -noborder -novid so it is a full screen window with no border, which makes it really easy to switch between windows.

I haven't tried that. Thanks.

I want Ol' Snaggletooth...
or a strange Tomislav one or the other.

Snaggletooth is pretty easy to get, just bunch up some scraps and it'll cost about 2 ref.
And there isn't a Strange Tomislav.

1.Nope, 4 ref.
2.A large part of me just died.

You don't need to craft. Trade.
