A group lead by Dallas and Saint of Killers storms BLU base thru the sewers (Dallas-stylee). They cause enough chaos for a scout (yours truly) to go get thru down to BLU's intel room.

I grab the briefcase and make a run for the straight stairs, hoping the 2 heavies and their loyal squad lived to secure the courtyard long enough.

But the courtyard was not secured. And now BLU was coming to get me.

I go out of the straight stairs and double jump aiming to get all the way to the room in front of BLU's spawn. I've made that jump many, many times. I never fail. NEVER!

Of course this time I failed.

So I'm falling to BLU's courtyard, a heavy waiting for me on the courtyard, his gun already spinning. I see many other BLU players, all ready to kill yours truly. All is lost.

And that's when I felt it.

Something pulls me up. My guardian angel? No, no. It's not a pull. It's a push. A force from down below pushes me a up, then up again. And suddenly I am in front of BLU's spawn!

A sentry gun helped me triple jump across their courtyard!

The rest is business as usual:To their battlements, thru the bridge, to our battlements, down to our intel room.

Many thanks to all RED team and that BLU sentry gun that saved my life.
 
Nice story! My case is normally the opposite... I will be so close and a conveniently placed sentry will push me away and I will fall to my death from the heavy's spinning minigun.
 
I was expecting you to have been threatened by an engie but his own sg killed him, or a pyro deflect the rockets into someone.
 
I love using sg rockets to blast me places. The best that has happened to me was on Warpath. We were taking the last point and I ubered in at the truck. A sg from the upper right shot at my demo, who was slightly behind me, and the sg rockets landed right behind my feet. I jumped just before they hit the ground and when they did, I was propelled over the point, hit the back wall and bounced into the CP and I was able to cap it.
 
I haven't actually done anything especially great with them, but I do use sentries to get around occasionally (usually to get to the cart in a PL map, just to reset the reverse timer)
 
SGs seem to help me jump a lot, like in blackmesa I cleared the A point with a sgs help.

it's as simple as that, only 3D
 
iv used enemy sg's to get a heavy on the enemy battlements they had a l3 sg in front of my base on 2fort so i just jumped off eating a sandvich and it blasted me to the enemy side and i still had some good health

Click to expand...

As Woodstock mentioned, this is sometimes key to bombarding the final point on Warpath. Sentry fire from the sides / behind will boost an uber demo or soldier onto the point for the win.

Great story, well told sir ;)
