yes but you forget. Aperture turrets can be mass-produced while engineers can only build one at a time.

This is absolutely magnificent.
Very nice work.

This is so random and sort of far fetched in a way. And that is why I love this fandom. Is there a Internet rule that goes something like:
If you can imagine it, there is ponies of it.

AKA Rule 42 of the Internet.

Applejack: But sentries are made to be hoof-made! Not mass produced!
Flim-Flam Brothers: Ahh, but that's the glory of it! Instead of wasting all that time on just one sentry that might not last, you can set up six of these.
Applejack: At least my gun's got more firepower than yours! You can't upgrade those things and this little guy can wield double bucking barrels of firepower, AND a rocket launcher!
Flim-Flam Brothers: But to do all that, do you realize how much metal you need to get all those upgrades? Over five hundred! If you truly want the bang for your bits, our sentries are the obvious choice, as they are deployed with fully functional dual machine guns.
Applejack: You can't even repair those sentries! And they're so fragile the wind could knock them over!
Flim-Flam Brothers: This is offset by the fact that sappers will simply slide off of them. No need to worry about troublesome spies after they backstab you, trying to go for the old stab-and-sap technique.
Rainbow Dash: How long have they been arguing?
Twilight Sparkle: Four hours...

Nice of the bros to conveniently ignore the fact that a sentry is defenseless from the angle a spy would be at, and they have two other weapons besides the sapper.

A spy wouldn't even need to use his other weapons once behind the turret, he could just kick it down and watch as it goes kaput.

Applejack's sentries are best sentries.

awesome
sentry is better then portal turrets, easily.
sentry can be upgraded, fixed and doesn't fall over from the slightest budge lol
great picture

Not sure why Applejack is so concerned. Her Sentry can be upgraded to fire Rockets, won't get turnd over, and can be wrangled to shoot further away.
The only advantage of the Portal turrets is they're so sleek the sappers might fall off. But that's what wrenches are for.

well, given that all you have to do is look at the Portal turrets wrong and they fall over, I don't see what Applejack is worrying about.

I have a portal gun. Your argument is invalid.

Now draw applejack with a robotic hoof.

I'll stick with Applejack's sentries, thank you very much!

The engineer turret can use rockets, can your fancy turrets do that?

I know, I beat portal 1 and 2 in a total of 8 and a half hours, but GLaDOS really should update those things.

"The Flim-Flam brothers are supposed to be blind!...Have we got a show for you, folks. Get ready to see the fighting team of the century--we don't need any silly bullets to put on our show!"

XDDDD THAT WAS TOTAL WIN.
My favorite turret line is probably, "Ah we're supposed to be blind, eh?" DEFECTIVE TURRETS. I WUV YOU.

Oh dear you have encouraged me, now I cannot stop--
((yesss I love those turrets! I listen to them every time I play the game, no matter how many times I've heard them. XD))
[Flim]
Well, lookie what we got here, brother of mine, it's the same in every town
Ponies with thirsty throats, dry tongues, and not a bullet to be found
Maybe they're not aware that there's really no need for this teary despair
[Flam]
That the key that they need to solve the sad testing shortage you and I will share~~

Oh my, now I'm imagining Portal turrets in TF2...
They can't turn, so unless they are at the end of a narrow hallway, Scouts can just strafe and whack them. Same thing with Pyros who can just approach from the side and then airblast them.
Soldiers can just tank a few hits and rocket them. It won't even take a direct hit because the blast would knock them down. Same with Demomen and Heavies.
Snipers and Engies would have the most trouble, unless the sniper has a clear shot from the side or the Engie can get close enough for a shotgun blast. Medics... well medics should be taking on sentries alone anyway. That'd be stupid. Though I imagine they can just ubercharge and then walk into them to knock them down.
Spies actually may have the hardest time. I'd imagine that the advanced laser tracking system would see cloaked spies, and since they shoot ANYTHING that moves disguised spies would get murdered anyway!
So, Portal turrets would work against spies and nopony else, which actually may be worth the upgrade anyway considering that I got two level 3s sapped last night...

Eh, Sniper can just outrange its targetting sensors like he does anything else. Can't count how many turrets I've seen taken out by Snipers.
Spies on the other hand are just plain unfair. They're the only class that would objectively improve the game if they were removed.
π: 0 β©: 2
Wait, are you talking about Portal turrets? Because I'm not sure they have a range limit...
In TF2 spies are not actually unfair. It's mostly a combination of good spy players and people not paying attention and changing their play styles when they know that there are spies on the opposite team. Removing them would make the game crazy dull.

Actually, Spies are deemed the least competitively viable class. Just saying.
π: 0 β©: 1
Only takes one reasonably skilled spy on the other team to ruin your playing experience. It's not the competitive balance that's the issue, it's the random "instant death with no recourse" factor. The Spy is a class custom-made for griefing people, period.
π: 0 β©: 1
I've played the game for years mate. You learn over time that Spies become an essential part of the playing experience. Would it still be TF2 without truly catering to all sorts of playstyles, including the sneaky?
The no recourse factor is false. Spies need to pick their prey extremely carefully. Any competent teammate would dispatch a disguised spy before they even got near the backs of their teammate. If you're constantly being dominated by one, stick near protection like a sentry or a friendly pyro. Or better yet, learn to watch out and kill them yourself.
