Hey guys!,
we, especially the capo and me know it's tuff sometimes to be engineering out there without any backup.
The first thing I want to point out what in my eyes is one of the simplest and most effective plierworks you can provide for your team, BUILD THE COMMANDPOST, PLEASE, first thing
this will increase your teams attack speed, reload speed, cool things like that.. I hope this will become everyone's first assignment in the map as a engy..
Trying as one of the only engy's out there and see 1 or 2 rambo medics run almost over you when you lay around the obj and await a med because your shot again , and move on in search of their enemy, while you lay there silently smashing your keyboard thinking "the hell with masterengineering".. we all know these rambo medics still excist in great nrs I believe and they are the real engy enemy I believe lol.. Just heal te squad boys..
Some tips from my side I think can be usefull, there are many, many more but I think this will be a good start..
Remember that all these actions can be done with our members in the field, just ask them to join your fireteam and help you out!
When Attacking..
1
When a engy without backup, I usually look for good players in my camp and ask them to join a fireteam( you can create a fireteam whith the right Enter button and invite players, when in a fireteam and you press G for the map, you can always see where your fireteam is on the map!), ask them for backup then and stay with eachother! you'll see this will take maybe a minute, but it'll make the game more fun for all, especially as attacking team going for obj... I still believe that beats any silly fragginspree adrenaline rush .
2
When noone responds and you're still on your own, make sure to not run off by yourself!, engy's are sitting ducks on their own, just wait for a couple of medics to run along, (hopefully a bit skilled, I usually wait till I spot a couple of good names ) or wait a couple of seconds and join the "wave" of fresh spawned teammates and hopefully they understand you need some backup. If not just yell you need backup a couple of times and make sure you got their attention. Then focus on obj and hope they got your back while you plant dynam8 etc.. again ask any [eXe] member in the field to watch your back and they will try and help you out...

Objective, finally reached it,
Always check your surroundings first before you use you pliers, once using them and you're attacked, you're at spawn before you know it.. check surroundings, go for obj. Engy's can also construct and look around, just hold your mouse button down so you keep constructing then you look around while you're using your pliers, so you can watch your own back,
this cannot be done when planting dynam8, when you plant dyna also try and make sure to plant some mines
for the enemy-engy to slip on
Always defend your dyna and other obj till the last second ofcourse, like I said planting mines before you go in for obj takes time but it'll help greatly and you will always hear the enemy coming for you because of the mine "alarmbells" when they step on your mines...
When Defending..
1
NR.1 rule for defending Engy's is: When you hear "dynamite planted" get of your @$$ right away! look in console where the enemy has planted the dynamite and start difusing!
2
Make sure all the entrances to the objective are well defended with mines.. Place them before enemy entrances, not your own please!.. mines are ofcourse a way to kill your enemy but as I said they have a defending warning system also, the *ting* coming from your exploding mines warns you enemies are trying to reach obj, this way you can make your field of operation as engy bigger because you have a warningsystem, also don't forget to yell V-1-4 Incoming! when you hear that, or V-3-5 defend our obj! or better yet bind these V-says to keys.
So if you see the enemy near your obj, please let your team know!
3
When you're on defense as engy means you have to listen to what happens in the map all the time, dynamite planted, bridge constructed, generators blown up etc.. enough to keep you running around! ghehe always something to blow up or build so try and understand where your help is most needed in the map instead of laying lazy mines while tanks role passed your back...
4
When the Main obj is attacked call in your teammates! Like I said yell defend our objective! a couple of times to try and wake some of them fragrats up.. hopefully.. and run like crazy for your objective.. BUT! dont just go steaming right for it, always watch your back when approaching the area! most good players will crawl up in a good corner waiting for you to run around with your pliers in your hand already seeing your strong defending cheered by the rest.. lol therefor always, always clear the area, fast..
I hope these simple, but I think usefull tips will improve the objective spirit in our Battlefield even more, and believe me the games will be tougher and more fun when most players FOCUS on obj play and help where needed to attack and defend instead of simple fraggin without even hearing anything of an objective
Thats also what makes an engy most difficult but best class to play in my eyes, though at first but when you know how to move around you will be the one finishing or winning the map.. that's still the highest goal to reach in ET, and when you become skilled enough to move around as a engy on your own for short periods and move in when there is an opening, like masterengy's Poolqs, Darktrigger, Trickx and more of our members and many other friendly clanmembers {NB} {LW} {KC} [BnB] and many more, then you'll know why we think it's important to get more good engineers in the field! I never want to see an attacking team of 20 players without 1 engy again!
Remember the Engineer is the only class you cannot remove out of the game without making it unplayable.. they're necessary but also great fun to play with.. I agree with the proper backup, but thats up to the meds out there,
My favourite weapons in ET are surely 8 nades and some rusty pliers..
