Well, sentries indeed kinda ruin the feel of TDM, where it's no fun to come to a certain place and just see there 4-5 sentries. Or having a mini sentry that is spammable.

EDIT: If people agree, only mini sentries will be disabled and normal sentries will be kept
 
Going as a Demo or a Spy just to take out that sentry or a cluster of sentries is boring, and against the feel of TDM.
 
You saying demo and spy are useless in TDM? :cursing: :cursing:
 
I think he meant it's boring to go every 5 minutes as demo/spy and destroy 4 more turtling engie's sentries....
 
Yes, it's kinda boring but, if you block sentries, engineer is useless :/
 
So he's wrong, fighting a hurdle of sentries is challenging and take skillz
 
^ What Ron said. I sometimes play Demo or Spy rarely, but in this case if I am playing in a Hightower TDM server, then usually it is cabering/panning Snipers or C&D stabbin' Snipers.

In my opinion, sentries have no point in TDM unless you really want to grind that strange Wrench, as there is nothing to defend since you cannot push carts. Or just pissing off any jumping Soldiers/Demomen or Scouts in general.

Those are my two cents. I have no quarrel for any sentries in a normal server, but sentries ruin Hightower TDM.
 
I'd vote normal sentries are allowed, but the Gunslinger and mini sentries are disabled. Nothing more ruining than an engineer running around dropping minis everywhere. It's a little unfair to totally block the class though, but I agree, taking out a group of engies that are blocking off an entire area isn't fun.

Or alternatively, incorporate a player cap, like max of 2 engies per team.

problem is when i should deactivate mini sentrys i must deactivate all sentrys i guess
 
Can't you block the Gunslinger?
The useage?

hmm idk ask ron if its possible
 
Blockage is possible, but I think it's better to block minisentries and not the gunslinger

Exactly
 
Okay, just developed a working mini-sentry only blocking plugin, so this concept can work.
