omg, i just realised that there is actually a use for the cubes in forts, not just scaffolding and stuff like that, but actual use in part of a fort.

i cant get steam runnning at the moment and i couldnt be bothered to wait for image shack to upload a crappily drawn mspaint image, so im gonna draw it right here for you, in ASCII.

Repeating this pattern you can make a bunker/wall the is unjumpable (if you make each block slightly further forward than the previous) and is great for blocking rockets/scout spray. DONT DITCH THE CUBES!!! I MAKE THIS FORT ALL THE TIME AND THE ENEMY IS JUST LIKE... WHOAH, he used the cubes!!!! and they die. So, next time you play sf, use the poor lil neglected cubies, and give them something to do.

I doubt the cube will be ditched anyway.

It would be like having a lego kit without those tiny 1x1 pieces.

Take a look about halfway down the page and you will see..

Cubes are the best throwing projectile for the engineer.

A tactic no even botheres using, i mean why would you spawn a pile of cubes then spend all that time unfreezing them in combat just to throw them, when you can go shotgun instead..

Will never be used in league either since 35 block limit will mean no one wastes pieces on that kinda idea.

I didn't say the technique was useful. I didn't say people used it. I just said the cube is the best throwing projectile.

You can't lose blocks on abandon. Only on some maps do you have a danger of losing them.

-Vann

I'd be willing to bet that alot of good teams will leave at least 2-3 blocks left over for breaching peices at the end of thier build round. Like I said before, I used to do building drills with entro at 30 blocks, and for most maps that was more then enough.
