The '''Engineer''' is a soft-spoken, amiable man from Texas that has a love for all things mechanical, especially guns. He specializes in constructing and maintaining [[Buildings|buildings]] to help support his team, of which can be upgraded to a total of three stages, making him a suitable defense class. | |||
Such buildings include the [[Sentry Gun]], a turret that when placed serves as effective area denial. The [[Dispenser]], a building that acts as a constant source of ammo and health to teammates surrounding it, shoring them and helping them maintain a forward position, though, it can also be taken advantage of by [[Spy|Spies]]. The [[Teleporter]], which is constructed to bring you from one place to the next instanteously. Optionally, he can also build a [[Jump Pad]], a building which provides more mobile movement option via going great distances in the air that can constructed twice rather than just once. | |||
The Engineer is voiced by Grant Goodeve, with additional voice lines provided by Gianni Matragrano. | |||

This amiable, soft-spoken good ol' boy from tiny Bee Cave, Texas loves barbeque, guns, and higher education. Natural curiosity, ten years as a roughneck in the west Texas oilfields, and eleven hard science PhDs have trained him to design, build and repair a variety of deadly contraptions. | |||

[[ | == Trivia == | ||
[[ | *The Engineer was added to the original [https://wiki.teamfortress.com/wiki/Team_Fortress ''Team Fortress''] mod to appeal to players who lacked skills required to perform well in first-person shooters. | ||
[[ | **He was also added due to the developers of ''Team Fortress'' being inspired by the construction mechanics of the real-time strategy game [[Wikipedia:Command_%26_Conquer_(1995_video_game)|''Command & Conquer'']]. | ||
*He wears his hard hat backwards; however, this is not an uncommon practice among construction personnel. | |||
*His favorite equation is, in fact, part of the equation that governs character lighting in-game, known as “Phong” on the Valve Developer Community. | |||
== Comparison from Team Fortress 2 == | |||
*''Team Fortress 2 Classified'' gave quality-of-life improvements to the Engineer that is absent and/or has not been fixed on live ''TF2'': | |||
**Fixed the face textures of an [[Ubercharge|Übercharged]] Engineer, where previously his glowing goggles are either absent on BLU Engineer or misplaced to RED Engineer's cheeks. | |||
**Restored the world model animations of Engineer making gestures with his right arm when playing "MEDIC!", "Thanks!", "Battle Cry" or "Cheers" or any directional voice command. | |||
**Restored a “Battle Cry” voice command where he says “remember the Alamo!” This voice line was lifted from prerelease versions of ''Team Fortress 2'' and is a reference to a real-life battle cry used during the [[Wikipedia:Texas Revolution|Texas Revolution]]. | |||
