PYRO UPDATE THURSDAY
NaughtyMe
Rejoice, rejoice

http://www.shacknews.com/onearticle.x...le.x/53168

I haven't played pyro in so long, because of his weaknesses...but now....oh but now...

2 community maps coming too

If this makes you wet - allow me to heat you up - hudda hudda hudda

On the downside - it looks like weapons are still linked to achievements. So off to Achievement_box map again....sigh

Oh and MEET THE SNIPER - TOMORROW!

"significant changes" to the core class
I know one of these changes. All I can say is, Spy be afraid, very afraid Smile

here we go again Sad
No chance of a pyro cap on the server?

I tentatively suggest that pyro spam won't be as bad as medic spam.

(This is me just thinking that I'll be able to find some nook where a heavy can stand in front of me so the pyros can't hit me, and we can just mow down half the other team...)

The pyro update means it's time to start playing medics or soldiers! Though probably just soldiers, I can just imagine a medic ubering a pyro and the pyro deciding this is the perfect time to get the fireaxe five people in a row achievement or something.

ps. huddahuddahudda!

what's the level that he shot them on?

Also yeah, that was as good as the scout video. Which is to say, TOTALLY AWESOME.

It doesn't look like a playable level really. Kind of like 2 fort with no bridge, no entrance to the other bases and random amounts of high explosive barrels.

Again, an awesome video, I'm definitely a sniper. I always have a plan to kill everyone I meet Pfft

One achievement that got my attention:
http://www.shackn...&id=121317

Pyro can somehow reflect back explosives after patch?

i wonder if they will leave the dev console unlock command open again...

i have to say that the unlocks are great for making the pyro more versatile but they are less good with the unlocks at spy hunting it seems. Im looking mainly at teh flaregun, which will presumably act a little like the demoman primary, either way a pyro who uses it will be less able at running down spys once they get out of flamer range... this interest me Smile

Also its good to see that valve took onbaord the idea about having the fireball taunt do damage. Its also good to see that teh achievements are more based around proper pyro behavior insted of the odd medic one which made people do silly things. OC lumberjack and clearcutter are a little silly but hey, nobody is perfect.

Also very very happy that redstone isnt one of the maps being released. Happy abotu turbine tho, ppl on teh CI server have plenty of practise at that Smile

I admit i havent had a proper look, im still feeling very much under the weather.
