| − | ==Engineers needs more PDAs== | + | {{Talk archive |
| − | The Engineer has a simple construction PDA, capable of building a sentry, a dispenser, a teleporter entrance, and a teleporter exit. This, although versatile, does become tedious after a while, and other classes (in particular Demoman/Demoknight) have many more functions.<br>

Could someone who actually plays the game and is more senior than me 1) verify and 2) give their opinion on whether I should continue translating it as "Tekniker" on my ongoing quest to get the Swedish pages up to date or if I should start changing the translation to "Ingenjör" as I come across it? |

| |
| − | | |
| − | The Demoman has: [[Scottish Resistance]], [[Chargin' Targe]], [[Eyelander]], [[Pain Train]], and [[Scotman's Skullcutter]].
| |
| − | | |
| − | Of all the above, neither the Wrangler or Chargin' Targe are strictly weapons... but even if we're counting them, only the Chargin' Targe directly does damage.
| |
| − | | |
| − | If you're counting the Combat Mini-Sentry separately... why? It's counted as a normal sentry gun by the game's internal stats and logging.

| − | | |
| − | Minor point. Sometimes, especially when linking to the page on buildings, the word is capitalized. Sometimes it is not. Seems to me it should not be capitalized. I was going to start changing them but I thought maybe I should say something about it first.
| |
| − | | |
| − | == Melee weapon special abilities - really necessary? ==
| |
| − | | |
| − | Every single melee weapon of the Engineer has the ability to build, upgrade and repair buildings and remove Sappers. Do we really have to mention that again for every single weapon? I think it should be just mentioned once for all weapons. After all, the point of these tables is to demonstrate the advantages and disadvantages of different weapons, but all the engineer's weapons can do these things equally well, so there's no advantage or disadvante here. It just clutters up the table.

It probably fires alpha or bèta rays.
