[KillerGremlin]

Considering the amount of time I spend as an Engi, you would think I would have bound the main keys by now. I'm really apathetic, and the "1," "2," and "3" keys are right above the "W" so it's not hard to access my 3 main weapons.

In regard to my running out of ammo comment...typically this is big when you are a soldier. You get 4 shots with your rocket, plus 6 shotgun shots, plus your shovel. That is more than enough to kill anyone in a 1 vs. 1 situation (except for maybe a Heavy). Typically, if I squeeze off 4 rockets and my opponent is still alive, I toggle to shotgun and attempt to finish them off.

This usually works pretty well...you won't believe the amount of people who sit there reloading rather than pulling out their shotgun while I take easy shots at them.

Lately, I've been getting in the habit of firing 3 rockets at my opponent, and then using my shotgun. This seems to be slightly more tactical against experienced players because they assume I'm out of rockets. Then they do something stupid like run at me and I pull out rocket number 4 and bam!

I really really hate Pyros now, especially the ones with the flare gun. I can't wait for the Scout/Soldier/Sniper updates.
