I think a Sentry being left at level 2 is a pretty good distinction of it not being a regular sentry.

You're running by as a disguised Spy 500 hammer units away. Can you instantly recognize that sentry as different from a normal level 2? No, you can't. I can barely tell a level 2 from a level 3 just from looking, let alone this thing who's only difference is a small pipe on the top.

Hmm...I've never been a big fan of CCGs - I mean, I did and still do collect Pokemon cards, but I never got heavily into the battling and trading thing.

By definition that makes you a fan since you still buy them.

I'm not sure why you posted a picture of a level three sentry with it's rocket launcher circled. Did you perhaps miss the "let alone this thing who's only difference is..." part?

Maybe pipe wasn't the right word, I kind of meant green wiring.

It'll sense spies.

Just spies. And just make angry robot noises at them.

I think we're looking at the good ole' sentry. If you're gonna make a new sentry gun, it should be REALLY unique, you know? Valve knows this, I know this, everybody knows this.

They're not going to strap some wires to the top and call it a new gun. They're not going to add some bolts and flatten it slightly (and the flattening is image compression, by the way) and call it a new gun. A new sentry gun will have a new shape. This isn't up for discussion, new sentry = new shape.

That would be pretty effective actually.

WHY DID YOU HAVE ME KICK THEM WTF I DID NOT WANT TO BE SHOT AT.
I dunno, you guys have survived Thomas the tank engine, golems, zombies, nuclear explosions, laser whales, and being on the same team as ragnarock.  I don't think something as tame as a world ending rain of lava will even slow you guys down.

Maybe they'll talk like the sentries from Portal.

UNLESS it's a mockup sentry. One that's really hard to kill but doesn't shoot, only meant to deter or confuse players. Or blows up when you hit it from up close, like a bomb in disguise.

Blows up on a spy when he saps it, perhaps?

Spyhate, har.

You're just reaching there. If I want to plant a bomb and catch somebody walking by, I'd just play as a Demoman.

Besides, decoys are the Spy's thing (Dead Ringer). Disguising is the Spy's BIGGEST thing. So, logically, a disguised decoy bomb is going to go to... the Engineer?

@Everyone saying the update is going to have some anti-Spy building: I doubt the Engineer's going to get an anti-Spy tool or building (at least not directly, I bet one or more of his weapons is good vs Spies but isn't a direct counter (like how Sandman is good vs Snipers but wasn't designed as a Sniper counter)). He doesn't need the help to kill Spies. And you might think "Oh, but if his stuff's immune to Spies, that'll encourage him to leave his buildings to gather metal or whatever!" Yeah, some people will do that. Most will just turtle and be incredibly hard to get rid off. They don't need any more help since they're already incredibly fucking annoying.

If they make a sentry decoy it'll be hours or minutes until it gets used to block stuff off and hardly any longer before it gets changed or temporarily removed until it can be changed.

I often use the dispenser to block passages. It's a warning sign and slows down people at the same time. I don't see the problem.

Heheh, headshotting normal difficulty bots is fun:

The bots had been duking it out by themselves for almost two hours for idling purposes, then I decided to join in as a player and started sniping. I wish I was even close to this good in real games.
You most certainly are. The problem is... your opponents just don't suck as much in real games  ;)
