My other thread got me thinking some more on sprees in general. I really like the option to have revive sprees because I think it really helps to encourage teamplay for medics instead of them just going for kills. I think it would be awesome if we could have a similar spree for engineers building and destroying objectives. This way engineers could get a bit of recognition if they are doing a great job, and maybe it would also encourage more players to be engineer. One decision that would need to be made would be whether or not to count partial objectives (with g_constructibleXPSharing enabled) towards the spree. In my opinion, I think that the person that completed the biggest share of the objective should be awarded and not the other player's that only contributed a little. That way, only one player would get awarded towards a spree for each objective.

Yep, exactly! I realize engineers are targeted far more often than the other classes, but if you numbered them similar to revive sprees with lower numbers such as 3, 5, and 10, I think you would get a few of them every once in a while. I know there has been a few times where I got on a roll and was able to complete a few objectives in a row before dying. Also, I see a lot of people asking who planted (or similar questions) at the end of maps. If the engy was getting recognition through a spree messages in game, more people will realize how valuable that player was for the team on that map. I like this proposal as well! Nothing wrong with a few more extra stats at the end of the map!

I'm thinking it would be nice to have revives with g_medics set to 64 (heal living teammates as an alternative to the tk/revive cycle) count towards revive sprees. Also, if this type of revive is treated differently than the "proper" revive in other areas, I feel it should behave the same there as well. Currently, it kind of feels like you are being punished for reviving before your teammate dies.
