Camera/Monitor Unlock

To replace the teleporter exit/entrance, the unlock would be a camera/monitor that the engineer could build. The engineer would sacrifice the ability to help the team get to the front lines faster, but would allow him to help keep an eye on key points (fitting his role as defense). -if a spy saps either the monitor or the camera, all that appears on the monitor is static.

-cameras can be placed anywhere the engineer can reach: walls, ceilings, floors, etc.
-anyone can look at the monitor, not just the engineer, including enemies.
-I don't think the camera should be allowed to rotate once placed, but this could be changed if the unlock is underpowered.

Feedback/suggestions/criticism is welcome, but be respectful.

I'd say that this unlock is rather underpowered, the only use I see for it is the engineer watching people coming near his sentry. It would maybe encourage "camera humping".

It's an interesting concept but I agree with Elhehir. It doesn't really have much of a use that could be solved with good teamwork and communication.

The engineer is supposed to help his team, not himself.

I think you just described something other than the engineer, but I could be wrong.

and seriously guys, put the sentries on the point that people are going to, not the one that is locked. Seriously, it was on gravelpit yesterday, we were defending point B very well after they captured A and there were two engies turtling point C with two tier 3 sentries. Neither of them moved up at all. They were just sitting there, even though nobody had "contested" point B in over 5 minutes. Not only that, but there was a third engy running around them doing I don't know the hell what. Don't camp a point if that point can't be capped. Leave that point and go to B. I mean it's good if there is one on point C in case they cap B, but seriously, we don't need two!
