True... Engineer is a TON of fun but adaptability pays off in SPADES. Great starter character since you can just kind of work on sentry placement first and THEN work on shotgun and pistol aim
Fellow Engie main, I have never felt more like someone understood me until How It Feels to Play Engineer. Especially the "What is my team doing?" Part. I always tell people, if you're going to play Engie, be prepared to leave spawn and then never see your team again.
Def check out the bonus vids to these vids of how LazyPurple animates, it's entertaining itself to see how user unfriendly SFM is. Also Lazy references Uncle Dane in the vid, and Dane's content is also entertaining to watch as he's a pro Engineer that likes teaching other players.
At 6:19 originally the song that played was Careless Whisper, but due to youtube copyright garbage Lazy had to use the built in video editor to put some music from youtube's library over it
its because of his mental issues; hes finishing it already, he just needs to make his videos more shorter because the last one (demoman extras) was over 32 minutes long (i think)
Please don't skip the extras videos, Starting from this one, all of them have an extra "part 2", with the extras for this one being a showing on how hard it is for lazypurple to even animate these.
From this video onward, each one has its own extra video that you should definitely check out before moving on to the next main video, containing behind the scenes stuff and anything that didn't make the cut for the main video. Most of them are just called "How it Feels to play (class) Extras, but the one for Engineer is called "How It Feels to SUFFER in SFM"
The Engineer is one of the most important classes in the game because it can boost your team's efficiency significantly. With just one Engineer, you can set up teleporters that will save a lot of travel time, especially after you die (averaging about 30 seconds). I once had a round where 100 people had used my teleporter! Additionally, the Engineer's dispensers heal people, give them ammo, and can even be used to jump up to higher places. You and other Engineers can get generated metal out of the dispensers, which saves time compared to collecting them via ammo packs around the map. The Sentry is incredibly strong, able to kill most classes in just a few seconds (it's unbelievably strong). Every building of the Engineer is upgradeable, starting at level 1 and going up to level 3 if you have enough metal and hit it with your wrench, much like the dwarf dude from Overwatch, you can heal the sentry by hitting it. Once a building reaches a higher level, it gets a significant stat boost overall. The teleporter will have a shorter cooldown time once a player has teleported. the dispenser will heal people faster around it and produce more metal, and the sentry will receive a huge damage upgrade. Every building will also gain more HP per upgrade. Finally, with all the variety in the weapons loadout, the Engineer (in my opinion) is one of the most fun classes to play.
This is only tangentially related to Engineer himself, but since you've seen a few of these videos now, I feel like tossing my own two cents into the mix: the lineup of TF2's classes, from first to last, is kinda the best example of the game's "difficulty curve". Like, the first three are Scout, Soldier, and Pyro. Scout's double-jump, speed, and boosted cap-rate give him a lot of utility, but he's also incredibly easy to pick up and play; you run around and shoot people with a little shotgun, bam, you got it. Soldier's rocket jumping is harder to learn, but even a novice player can still get good plays out of him because he's got a rocket launcher, period. Pyro is the hardest of those three to manage because his flamethrower works differently and there's a lot of different ways he can help the team, but in the right hands, he can be very versatile. Then, you have Demoman, Heavy, and Engineer. Demoman is similar to Soldier, but you only have projectile weapons (no shotguns or anything hitscan), and you generally need some experience and map knowledge to play him well in a defensive role. Heavy is even harder, because he's slow and has some glaring weaknesses, but in the right situation he can shred an enemy team. Engineer is the one that requires the most map knowledge so far, because he's explicitly designed around his buildings - you need to know chokepoints, good sentry spots, ideal places to build your teleporters and dispensers, etc etc. Lastly, you have Medic, Sniper, and Spy. Medic doesn't have a lot of offense and a clueless or lost player can easily get focused down, so you need decent map knowledge and you need to stick close to your teammates. Sniper's difficulty is mostly aim-based, but you need map knowledge to know where the sightlines are, and you need good game-sense to know when you might be getting flanked or need to change positions. And Spy, of course, has all three requirements: a solid basis for gameplay, map knowledge to know where he can go and where others might go, and good gamesense to know when to stay hidden and when to go in for the play. It's a really interesting balance overall, I think, and it's a big, big reason why TF2 is still so beloved. Even back in the launch days, when all we had were vanilla weapons, the class design was incredibly strong.
Uncle Dane, the fellow in the window shouting at Lazy about “What kind of defense is this?!” is THE engineer main of UA-cam. He has some fun videos about weapons and engineer wisdom. I’d suggest checking him out but i feel like that isn’t going to happen
As they watch this, and being an engineer main. Very accurate video, especially when they kill your baby. I would definitely recommend watching lil' guardian pyro, that'll be amazing for them to watch
4:55 ; Lazy: *complaining about how Scout, a front line class, is asking questions about things that he should be responsible for.* Ruff, Boom, Eric and Hman: *WAT DA DAWG DOIN??*
Even if you aren't good at Engie at first, it would be a good idea to practice, because there is a combat vet that reacted to this and he said something vital, amateurs think tactics, professionals think logistics.
Once you guys finish watching How it Feels, you should give End of the Line a watch. It was a community made video that Valve used as the trailer for their End of the Line update in TF2.
each engi can have 1 of each building 1 sentry 1 dispenser 1 tele entrance and 1 tele exit and a casual match can have 12 max players on 1 team which if they all pick engi you can have 12 of each biulding (this only is counting 1 team) but if you want to know how many with both teams you can have 24 of each biulding 12 on red 12 on blu. 4:50
You guys really need to do a reaction of "end of the line sfm" it is easily one of the most popular animations i believe it won a community award of some sort and its my absolute favorite, hope you guys can give it a look sometime!
Honestly I'd prefer if you watch Uncle Dane's "How to fight every class as Engineer and win" video before getting into TF2 so you have at least a bit of how TF2 works so you don't get confused. Basically Overwatch but with Extra steps and more variety and freedom in gameplay and more game modes to try out.
For a fun experience I recomend the comunity servers, especifically the ones of Uncletopia (from Uncle Dane), so you have minimal chance to find bots and ugly stuff.
i like to play Soldier and Pyro in Casual Matches to keep a balanced middle ground of Attack and Defence but on most CTF maps i choose a lot of Engineer as a Defence or Anoyance to the enimie team when i place a teleporter in their base and my team manages to keep them at bay for a leat 10 minutes befor my nest goes down. But a thing Lazy dident say is that sometimes YOU ARE the reason why people start using things that are mostly only good against engineer like spy or the cow mangler or direct hit wich is a good rocket luncher but most cant aim sooooooo.
I main engie and medic. I main stress inducing roles where I'm paranoid of everyone because I heavily dislike myself. Ironically the only people who appreciates my efforts are the people whoa re out to get me.
"This is pure chaos" Welcome to team fortress 2 Where "Soldiers" yeet them selfes into the strata sphere by shooting rockets at there feet drunk socttsmen run around with cursed swords and a crazy german "docter" plays god with hes teammates
not sure why you need to react to all of Lazy Purple's videos before you actually try to play the game. It doesnt matter how many videos you watch Tf2 isnt a game you can just pick up for the first time an expect to have a clue or chance at. Ive been playing for 8 years and have almost 5K hrs into this game and there are still lots of times I dont know whats going on:) Hope you eventually try it and stick with it. Thank you for the content:)
What I play as depends on my mood, the game mode, and the specific map. Heavy or Pyro if I'm warming up. If I know the map well enough to know some good sentry gun spots engie. If my team is pushing the cart I like to play Heavy and push the cart as often as possible because that gun chews through ammo and the cart keeps me reloaded. On a capture the flag map I like engie, the gun either goes in a place they have to go through to get to the intel or it goes in the intel room if the enemy keeps getting through the rest of the team. If we've got plenty of engies already but they're having a spy problem I go pyro and equip my homewrecker so I can pybro for the engies a bit. Stay by their machines blasting my flame thrower to burn up spies and swinging the home wrecker at any machine that gets sapped. I also like to go pyro on maps where I can air blast people off cliffs to kill them.
I know you guys got a lot on your plate, but can you react to kick buttoski suburban daredevil? Episode story 1 and 2 are a bit odd, but episode 2 story 1 is where it really hits off. Unlike most shows where the protagonist is wimpy or nerdy, Kick is the definition of badass. His friend gunther is the friend everyone needs (and he shares the same voice actor as Percy from Amphibia) Wade is the friend everyone wants.
If you want to learn more about engineer or want to know what else he can do, I suggest watching Uncle Dane cause his videos are actually quite educational
Don't know if you guys played overwatch before but if you have check out overwatch vs. tf2, but explained with food. It's funny and super accurate with what makes tf2 special by comparison.
Might as well react to Ceno0's attack on heavy, pootis engage and pootis engage video in this order. It's a sfm animation with tf2 characters and lot of anime reference.
Loving these.^^ Oh, here's a thought. Any chance you guys would be willing to go through the RWBY series? If so, I highly suggest watching the trailers first, since they're canon to the story.^^
"We'll try playing it after watching all of these." Well you'll be waiting for How it Feels to meet the Medic for quite a while. It's been years since the last video he made
They NEED TO WATCH THE EXTRAS. They are so much fun and give more info to the classes 😆
They should react to pootis engage aswell, not the same as purple videos but a tf2 classic that they would enjoy
As an engineer main I can say this video is accurate.
True...
Engineer is a TON of fun but adaptability pays off in SPADES.
Great starter character since you can just kind of work on sentry placement first and THEN work on shotgun and pistol aim
So true im aslo a engineer main
True depending on your play style
Fellow Engie main, I have never felt more like someone understood me until How It Feels to Play Engineer. Especially the "What is my team doing?" Part. I always tell people, if you're going to play Engie, be prepared to leave spawn and then never see your team again.
Hmmhmhmhmhmmmmhm

Came here to post this.
Keep in mind guys that the series still isn't complete, since Lazy hasn't made "How it FEELS to play Medic" yet.
I feel like that's gonna be his Half-Life 3.
I m still waiting for that
its because of his mental issues; hes finishing it already, he just needs to make his videos more shorter because the last one (demoman extras) was over 32 minutes long (i think)
Please don't skip the extras videos, Starting from this one, all of them have an extra "part 2", with the extras for this one being a showing on how hard it is for lazypurple to even animate these.
"WARNING: THIS IS MUCH TOO CREATIVE" just kills me
9:47 Guile's Theme, it goes with everything.
*"YEEEEEEEEEE!!!"*

2:25 I love that he synced up with the Engineer's "what"
Same!😂
You should watch how it feels to suffer in SFM next because it’s a behind the scenes of this one
Engie main for life. So many good memories. It's an effective class for noobs and pros.
You guys should definitely check out the extras
Pyro main here! It’s a fun class when you get to a certain skill level with airblasting
Give "most fashionable faction" a shot it does a good job introducing the classes too!
6:18 for context the song was Carless Whisper, but UA-cam copyright is a bitch.

Seeing as "How it feel to play the Medic" hasn't been made yet it looks like it's gonna take a while for them to play TF2
You guys should watch emesis blue! Great sfm horror.
As they watch this, and being an engineer main. Very accurate video, especially when they kill your baby. I would definitely recommend watching lil' guardian pyro, that'll be amazing for them to watch
You need to do also the Behind the Scenes episodes: the first one is the next one in the How it feels: "How it feels to suffer in SFM"
You guys should also check out SoundSmith's "stereotypes" series after this series
Especially weapon stereotypes, because it seems like before this video they didn't understand that weapons are actually different and not just reskins
As Engineer main, I like helping my team with teleports and dispensers.
4:55 ; Lazy: *complaining about how Scout, a front line class, is asking questions about things that he should be responsible for.*
Ruff, Boom, Eric and Hman: *WAT DA DAWG DOIN??*
Engineer is basically passive income but for kills. Sentry next to enemy spawn dominating multiple people ah *chefs kiss*
demoman tf2, also after you're done you can watch the extras cuz they add a lot of things he didnt mention in the videos
Love the Engineer, man! It was one of my favorite classes XD
I love "WARNING: THIS IS MUCH TOO CREATIVE" so much
0:19
Ruff: "I'm Ruff"
Boom: "I'm Boom"
H-man: "I'm H-man"
Eric: "I'm Eric"
Engineer: "I'm movin this"
Beautiful introductions
Dell "Movin' This" Conagher
Even if you aren't good at Engie at first, it would be a good idea to practice, because there is a combat vet that reacted to this and he said something vital, amateurs think tactics, professionals think logistics.
9:35 its shotgun from deus ex human revolution btw.
You guys have to check out uncle Dane, this guy pretty much mains engineer and if you want to try engineer, that's the guy to look up.
Once you guys finish watching How it Feels, you should give End of the Line a watch. It was a community made video that Valve used as the trailer for their End of the Line update in TF2.
each engi can have 1 of each building 1 sentry 1 dispenser 1 tele entrance and 1 tele exit and a casual match can have 12 max players on 1 team which if they all pick engi you can have 12 of each biulding (this only is counting 1 team) but if you want to know how many with both teams you can have 24 of each biulding 12 on red 12 on blu. 4:50
You guys really need to do a reaction of "end of the line sfm" it is easily one of the most popular animations i believe it won a community award of some sort and its my absolute favorite, hope you guys can give it a look sometime!
Do the "How it Feels to Suffer in SFM after engineer! Its the next in line and shows off some... Bugs in the software
Some fun videos to check out if you wanna experience the inherent silliness of tf2 is Soundsmith's Monthly Meatloaf videos
Honestly I'd prefer if you watch Uncle Dane's "How to fight every class as Engineer and win" video before getting into TF2 so you have at least a bit of how TF2 works so you don't get confused. Basically Overwatch but with Extra steps and more variety and freedom in gameplay and more game modes to try out.
As an engineer main. I can say for a fact it will always be thee most fun class in TF2
As someone who has never played team fortress 2, I can say this is very accurate.
11:48 bro reinvented the funny sentry
As an Engineer Main, I am offended we didn't see any Extreme Rancho Relaxo plays in this.
Medic, Scout, and Demo are my most played in that order
For a fun experience I recomend the comunity servers, especifically the ones of Uncletopia (from Uncle Dane), so you have minimal chance to find bots and ugly stuff.
i like to play Soldier and Pyro in Casual Matches to keep a balanced middle ground of Attack and Defence but on most CTF maps i choose a lot of Engineer as a Defence or Anoyance to the enimie team when i place a teleporter in their base and my team manages to keep them at bay for a leat 10 minutes befor my nest goes down.

2:24 The synch though!…..
Make sure to watch the extras + how it feels to suffer in sfm
I recommend checking out Soundsmith's videos, particularly his Mann's guide series, really entertaining series.
It's been a while but I actually played Heavy competitively. Got a medal to prove it :D
I main engie and medic. I main stress inducing roles where I'm paranoid of everyone because I heavily dislike myself. Ironically the only people who appreciates my efforts are the people whoa re out to get me.
"This is pure chaos"
Welcome to team fortress 2
Where "Soldiers" yeet them selfes into the strata sphere by shooting rockets at there feet drunk socttsmen run around with cursed swords and a crazy german "docter" plays god with hes teammates

Thank you for the content:)
You guys should definitely reacts to emesis blue. One of if not the best SFM movies I’ve seen so far.
You should defiently watch Lazy's how it feels to suffer in sfm. Gives you view of the fresh hell Lazy has to put with to make these videos.
What I play as depends on my mood, the game mode, and the specific map. Heavy or Pyro if I'm warming up. If I know the map well enough to know some good sentry gun spots engie.

I also like to go pyro on maps where I can air blast people off cliffs to kill them.
I play as Solider and Demo because my aim sucks and with those classes you only need to get close to hitting the enemy to deal damage
Speaking of engineer yall should check out his stuff as well.
I know you guys got a lot on your plate, but can you react to kick buttoski suburban daredevil? Episode story 1 and 2 are a bit odd, but episode 2 story 1 is where it really hits off. Unlike most shows where the protagonist is wimpy or nerdy, Kick is the definition of badass.

Don't know if you guys played overwatch before but if you have check out overwatch vs. tf2, but explained with food. It's funny and super accurate with what makes tf2 special by comparison.
I mean considering they mentioned in this video that one of them likes to play Torbjorn...
1:15 those guys VS one sentry buster
Might as well react to Ceno0's attack on heavy, pootis engage and pootis engage video in this order. It's a sfm animation with tf2 characters and lot of anime reference.
Loving these.^^
Oh, here's a thought. Any chance you guys would be willing to go through the RWBY series? If so, I highly suggest watching the trailers first, since they're canon to the story.^^
There is an AMV by JTMusic, Team Fortress 2 Rap. It's amazing and I think you guys would really enjoy it.
I feel like you guys would really enjoy max0r and his videos
Please watch pootis engaged and photos extreme (in that order), It's SO worth it.
I mained pyro and medic because fire. And it's fun to spycheck and help engies
Engineers are pretty important. Which is why I am horrible at Engineer.
there currently is no medic one
And u guys should watch the extras he says more about the class on them
I AM THE DEFENSE!
Thanks for the video.
When you play the game use community servers like uncletopia! They have no bots and the public ones do
i either play scout, pyro, sniper, heavy or medic
so far medic is missing
I play demoman. I like boom boom.
I make it a priority to be a pybro to my engineers
you should check out some of uncle Danes videos on the game, as well as sounsmith for gameplay and stuff, his vids are funny
0:38 avarage rainbow six siege sweat.
I was Engi for a bit
Before I even learned how to high five
Actually I didn't play much at all
My main mercs are engineer, medic and pyro in order of time played so you can imagine how much I HATE spys
heavy and medic mostly
You guys should check out elmaxo he has great game theory videos on a lot of tf2
engineer gaming
Im playing soldier but my second class is spy
Yall should watch the league of legends champions trailers
Since you lke TF2 stuffs and so do I, I want you guys to react Cen0 two TF2 videos called Pootis Engage & POOTIS ENGAGE // EXTREME PLS PLS
"We'll try playing it after watching all of these." Well you'll be waiting for How it Feels to meet the Medic for quite a while. It's been years since the last video he made
Try to let the other guys say hi and who they are a little more before you press play please
Please watch:
Overwatch vs TF2 But Explained with Food by a channel called DougDoug
Nice first on this good video😮
4:48 you can have 1 turret or 3 mini turrets
Engineer gae-
Hey you guys should watch 'Emesis Blue' it's a horror sfm and it is a 10/10.
