That's a brilliant idea, now if only they would apply that retroactively to the medics.

Removed Soldier's 40% damage reduction from his own rockets. Does not affect rocket jumps LOL |

Just means that soldiers are going to be punished for point-blank rockets. tbh I didn't realise there was any reduction to begin with  |

Oh aye, thats why a rocket splats a scout but a soldier only takes about 40 damage from it. I'm guessing they're leaving any splash damage the soldier takes from hitting the walls as is but any rocket that hits a player isnt reduced. |

I don't like this, it will mean soldiers will be reduced to firing mid/long range only. Soldiers are already as slow as the heavy and the rockets are so slow people can walk out of the way  . I assume if you are being attacked by a pyro at close range and you want to rocket jump out of the way, if the pyro takes a hit, you will take the full force of the blast. |

For you shiffty it will be a minor change to gameplay to n00b solider it means alot more self destructions

I've had so much fun today reflecting soldiers rockets back at them. The cooldown on the reflect is slightly higher than on the rockets so spam will get through, the best way to hit a pyro is still to aim at his feet. Theres nothing quite so satisfying as seeing a crit rocket come at you in the face then turning it around into the cluster of enemies approaching. Its not just a reflect too, the rocket goes where you're aiming so you can funnel a soldier's rockets into something more dangerous. The flare gun seems like the critzkrieg to me, it has its uses but they aren't as useful as the shotty. Once I get the axetinguisher though things might change. |

With the backburner (which is often very effective), pyros are going to play exactly like spies do, hiding in corners, behind objects. This is exciting! |

The soldier damage reduction thing, I tried a little experiment to work out what triggered it. It seems that if your feet are on the ground, you will take mega damage shooting a wall or floor. If you are even a little bit in the air, you will get the normal damage reduction. So all you need to do in close range combat is jump before you fire every rocket. You'll go flying a lot but you'll get the old damage reduction |

Very nice The flare gun I also find awesome for clearing straight walkways plus it does a huge amount of damage really, my soldier was hit by one and lost something like 150hp with the burn. The backburner is possibly overpowered, havent used it myself yet but it seems that as long as you're aiming at someones back you get crits. Therefore you can take out a small army if one guy turns around. Also it now means you HAVE to face the pyro if hes in range rather than deal with what might be more of a threat to your team. 2 Uses I want to find out about: Uber + backburner. the instinct is to run like hell away from ubers, surely not a good idea any more? Doorway blocking. 2 pyros flaming either side of a doorway, can't be hit by anything but a demoman and anyone coming through the door has to face one of them exposing his back to the other. |
