Agh, my internet keeps disconnecting me in the middle of a MvM match.
You really need some good tactics to win this.

[Errol]

Actually, an army of ninety-six archer bots is also... well, fuck. Especially with support from those surprisingly competent Robo-Spies.
Engiecamping works until the sentry buster comes in. That thing looks ridiculous.

On another note, this mode is great fun and the bots aren't half bad themselves.

Sentries busters are not that dangerous. Pick up sentry, move. Engiebases tend to be devastated when you get giants supported by medics though. (Rapid fire demo, soldier, or a Heavy with lot's of backup.) Nor are the spybots, who just take advantage of everyone being otherwise occupied.

[miauw62]

spybots are pretty obvious.
Sentry busters = airblast.
Pyro hordes are pure rape.

[mainiac]

Pyro bots aren't very scary.  A heavy soldier or demo can rip them apart.  The hard part is getting the money since your scout can't move in.

[Errol]

I fail hard at this mode, you might want to know.

And, well, Spybots aren't so bad when you expect them, because then they're obvious. It's when they are unexpected, then they tend to get at least one kill. And they sap faster than you can wrench, and that's stupid when he's standing behind the sentry in a corner.

Hell anything is scary once massed, but having to handle a tank AND a regular attack wave, at the same time? Ugh.
(I eventually solved that problem by going Engineer, placing a sentry at the entrance and letting it rape the tank to half life or so before the actual wave came in.)

[Karnewarrior]

level 3 sentry and mini-sentry at the gates, then the engie waits in the back (with a teleporter in case he needs to move the sentry instead of rebuilding) ready to start building his sentries again if/when the bots blow them up.

That just rapes bots. Especially scout-bots.

[The Scout]

50 heavies and an unlimited supply of scouts. I stopped healing my team in favor of hanging back to ubersaw the bomb scouts making a run for it.

[Karnewarrior]

i've noticed people seem to be more preoccupied with killing the most bots than stopping the bomb carrier occasionally. It's odd, since there's no point system for killing any amount of bots.

[Knirisk]

So far, I haven't played too much of this, but in one of the maps (I think at the map selection screen, it's the middle one), you can hide right behind where the bots jump down and stop being invincible and just obliterate them with the pyro's Backburner. Of course, there's the problem of ammo, but pyros are pretty fast anyway. Then my game crashed, sadly.

In another game, I picked up my BRASS BEAST and a bunch of points in damage, ammo, and penetration. With a bit of ammo, the Brass Beast is great for taking out tanks, and with the penetration, great for taking out hordes of slower enemies. With a bit of teamwork, you can really stack up mini-crits using the Buff Banner, Jarate, etc. The Kritzkrieg is actually useful on this map, too.

Yeah, first person view of the sentry buster is hilarious.
I have got cabered more then once by that thing, trying to airblast it away.

Pyro is badass against anything thats not a pyro or a giant pyro or a heavy.
Giant rapidfire demo? Circlestrafe
Giant charged soldier? Reflect.
Demo hordes? W+M2+M1

I think a fully upgraded flamethrower can kill alot of things by just burning them ONCE. double burn time and doubled burn strenght is not something to be taken lightly.

That'd be 240 damage - that'd kill any class but the Heavy. (players, that is, IDK if the robots have different health, haven't been able to play yet)

[miauw62]

Hmm, it saddens me that i cant model. I have this idea in my head for a new flamethrower that consists of a can saying "BROWN BEANS", some random pipes and the legs and the ass of a spy.

The methane menancer
The assburner
The farting fire

Robots have less health, so yes, that will kill any class but the giants, who have a lot of health.
