Pyro update Thursday 19th

something from valve may come out on time!

this is history people
 
Thread to declare my excitement for this release!

:D
 
Valve's done a nice job getting this done fast, looks like they weren't kidding when they said it wouldn't take long after the medic release, with the weapon UI done and all.
 
Engineers are going to have open season with their sentries from this release since spies are going to be getting roasted left and right. That is until ubered pyros arrive.

I don't think it was a User Interface which took them so long to do :|

I can anticipate the next unlockables rolling out over the course of the next few months. Particularly through the holidays.
 
I'm not sure if I've played Redstone, but I certainly haven't played Quarry. I liked turbine, and they only have one official ctf map, so I wouldn't be surprised if that were released. Another suggestion could be pl_dustbowl. A ctf and pl map wouldn't surprise me at all.

I tend not to play many custom maps.
 
:D

Meet the Sniper tonight and Pyro Thursday, epic!! ^^
 
It's a flare gun, before anyone else says it:

Oi, I saw the gun first. Everyone in the Hl2.net Chatroom will back me!!

I hope D:


Pi did work out that it was a flaregun but I saw the blue gun first.
 
I bet it does more damage than the shotgun- but has a way slower rate of fire.

As much as I think the shot gun is the most boring weapon for the pyro I might stick with it over a slow firing flare gun. I dunno, can't knock it until I try it.

But hey, if the hit detection is improved for the pyro overall I will still jump for joy.
 
I just realized i haven't seen any of the "meet the" video exept demoman and heavy. Possibly enginer but i can't remember. DL hd versions :D
 
here's my current thoughts on the new weapon:

I'm thinking it might be the shotty replacement... a single shot(then reload) version of the scouts scatter gun, and it lights anyone it hits on fire. or maybe a normal kinda shotty where crits will set people on fire instead of double damage.
 
awesome
even though i don't play Pyro :p

vive Valve!
 
Update on the jetpack rumor:
On shacknews, apparently some people had not heard the release delayed until tomorrow. They had made an article titled "TF2 Pyro Achievements and Unlockables Revealed". After having heard of this mistake, they apparently erased the entire article, but what can be seen is the comments about the article BEFORE it was taken down and the article title.

It's fake. There was no leak, just a prank by the SA people.

Page 3 on that Steam forums thread.
 
this update will be a million times better than the medic.

I just can't wait till the engineer update, lol. 16 sentries per team.
 
We'll see. I don't see what good a flare gun would do in this game though.
 
Maybe long-rang setting on fire of a particular person? One shot at a time, follows an arc, maybe some splash damage.
 
There was talk last year of giving the Pyro the abillity to deal with engineers camping with sentry guns, maybe the flare is slow but effective against stationary targets like snipers and engineers.

And you can see the point in a blunderbuss? The Pyro's new weapons are going to be thematically correct, just like the Medic's were. A blunderbuss (slow, single-shot, crappy spread shotgun) doesn't fit the theme. A flare gun does.
 
One theory knocking about is that the flare would divert sentry gun fire, think about it..
