The only thing i would change about the Tech is the model/skin.
Ranger looks cool, Gunner looks cool and Tech just looks... pants.
It really needs a new look

Demo-boy is obsessed with the tech, I think he's in love with it 
eew.
I would only change the model/skin as well. It just looks kinda tubby.

Well...... hmmmm...... let me think now. What would I change about the Tech? Techs are not cool, so their model doesn't look cool. Their model is perfect the way it is. It represents what it is just fine IMO. Now rangers on the other hand are the coolest! So they look the coolest IMO Same goes for Gunna's . Back to what I would change though. Hmmm..... only thing I would change I have stated elsewhere in other posts. The alt-shotty, in more understandable terms CHAR!!! .
Demo_Boy's posts are the best . Great flame fest starters!

If you dont want charred, dont get close. The same reason why I get in close when fighthing as a tech against the rangers is the same reason why they shouldn't get close to me and use thier insane range pistol.
But, if the techs should have anything that would make sense and help the gameplay, that would be alarms. Something you could put like a trigger on a door or hallway that would set off an audible alarm that your team would hear. That would be an easy add.
are you kidding me? improve the tech!? they're already the most over balanced class in the game. 1 hit kill on ranger and gunner with shotgun secondary, Shotgun can reach sniping distances, Assult rifle is absolutely devastating to rangers in close combat, assault rifle secondary can 1-SHOT KILL ranger with a headshot, you can't even kill someone with a headshot as a ranger! auto-kill deployables, insta-hack. shotgun is a burst/coverage weapon, requiring no acuracy. Gas = absurd, another coverage weapon. emp destroys EVERYTHING, need i say more.

If the ranger is at sniping distance, as they're designed to be, they'll kill me as a Tech WAY before I can "snipe" them with a shotgun. If a gunner sees a tech closing, charge with the flamer. You'll blind them and probably get them to miss with the almighty shotgun. All this talk of rangers sucking at close range makes me wonder why you want them to do something they're not supposed to.

Yep, thats all fine and dandy but how can you not get close in an indoor area? There's a reason its called close combat. Don't assume that I hate the Techs alt-shotgun because I have been owned upclose so many times because really it has not happend all that much. I would like it changed because when I play a Tech I annihilate with the alt-shotty. I almost feel bad when I take people out with it in an indoor area. They didnt even have a chance. If they're not dead in 1hit well they can not see anything because they are blind
. So thats my reasoning for wanting to change the alt-shotty .

i agree with all comments posted thus far, also agreeing that i wouldn't change anything. i just like to say that all in all i feel tech has over all slight advantage. and that is just my opinion, not written in stone by god. btw, i go ranger all out. i need the speed!
OK, yes it's perfecto balanced.
But here's what I think would make an interesting mutator.
Lose the rangers shock rod.
Without his ability to waltz past any deployables, this would make assault much more interesting. Not just the constant stream of running rangers
Rangers would be minced by well configured defenses and would require group attacks to get inside the base. Gunner/Ranger and Tech/Ranger combos.
This is especially true with the current trend in All Outdoors Huge Sweeping Terrain type maps.
Dai.

Demo_Boy Rocks!
I geuss I can say that Techs arnt really that overpowered. Generally, I can own most Techs, even with a Tech. It just irratates me that, when I play a Gunna (full health, full sheilds), on very rare occations, I can be owned by the 99th out of 100 gas grenade lob, that hits me in the face, killing me dead. Also, on very rare occations, a Tech boy on his 99th out of 100 shotgun char, will kill me (full health, full shields) dead in one shot. Nothin should kill a Gunna in one hit!
Sorry, I know ive said it before, but these are my beefs.
Can we BAN Tapeworm from posting on the forum? Look at his comments.
But, what if Legend wasnt finished with the game before Atari fired them? What if they were waiting to see what a large player base thought? I geuss we'll never know.{NoBull}Jem said:

I've wanted that myself (considered toing it once I learned enough Uscript - I'm workin on itThe_Daishi said:

So Techs aren't supposed to be able to kill gunners?
Big deal you died 1 out of 100 times from taking a gas grenade in the face, it happens with every class. Also, the likelyhood of someone firing a gas grenade and actually hitting you square in the face is not very high at all. The gunners are also equipped with a counter to that, the homing missiles. Also, direct shotgun chars on a Gunner from close won't kill unless it's a headshot, which is pretty reasonable, considering that if a Tech got past both the flamethrower and missiles in close quarters, he deserves the kill. If you just had a Tech sneak up on you and char you, the Tech deserves the kill anyways.
