TF2 Pyromania Update, Day 1

[Black Arrow Officer]

Pyro's never really been my favorite class, but I'm really excited for his update. TF2 has sort of been dead update-wise for the past 6 months.

How do you know it's a he?

"Doomsday pits BLU against RED, with only one team getting the honor of transporting a suitcase nuke full of recalled Mann Co. Australium to American monkeynaut Poopy Joe?s rocket, so he can blast off and hunt down Soviet space chimp Vladimir Bananas. It's the same spirit of competitive enterprise that stalled the moon landing by three years when Buzz Aldrin suplexed Neil Armstrong into a pile of folding chairs at Astromania '69! Both teams will attempt to get the necessary fuel up a preposterously slow-moving elevator and into Poopy Joe?s Australium-powered rocket to the stars."

My God, I had to read the first sentence like three times. It sounds like a lot of fun, though very similar to the "waiting on a slow elevator" sequences in the HL games. Methinks Valve has some sort of slow moving elevator fetish. Hey, maybe that's why their games take so long to come out! The elevators in Valve HQ move at like 10 inches per minute.

Anyway, so it looks like Meet the Pyro is coming out Wednesday then, on day 3 of the update. Cool beans~

I can't wait to try out the new game mode when I get home from work. Although it sounds like a payload stlye map, I'm wondering what the difference is. I'm guessing a person has to hold the briefcase manually?

 

[DustyDrB]

As a guy who mains as a Pyro (I've logged 400 hours alone as that class), this pleases me greatly.
I'll be checking the new mode out ASAP.

 

[Mr.Mattress]

I just looked for one of those Doomsday Maps... None where there... That makes me a sad panda...

Regardless, I am excited as to what is coming up with Valve/Adult Swim soon

 

[ChildishLegacy]

So are they releasing these 3 pieces of content on the days they're announced, or just announcing them 1 at a time and releasing all of them when the counter reaches 0? Either way I'm pretty excited, haven't been playing TF2 for a while, so this could get me back in.

 

[scorptatious]

Ooh can't wait. I'll bet day 3 is when Meet the Pyro finally releases.

Anyone bother to Ctrl+A the page for secrets? I did.

I am praying for a TF2 sitcom. Seriously I would watch the hell out of that.

What I am praying for is a TF2 Animated Series, made by the Animation Department at Valve (They could use some work, since there were only 9 Meet The's, and all of them progressively getting better), or a TF2 Made-For-TV Movie, or even a series of commercials for TF2 and Adult Swim by the Team Fortress guys. I'm seriously hoping for something like that.

It's not a show. Someone at Adult Swim tweeted that a few days ago not long after that partnership page went up.

I suppose I should link it...

There [https://twitter.com/Clarknova1/status/216239895990124545]. They might just be premiering Meet the Pyro. But even that doesn't make much sense to me. Though my opinion is probably skewed by the fact that I don't think I've ever watched Adult Swim.

Yeah, I know he said there wouldn't be a new show, but honestly, we don't know what could be coming up. For all we know, he's lying through his teeth or he's being sarcastic. The Fact that he uses Caps for a majority of that post might mean something. Also, just because it isn't going to be a new show, doesn't mean it won't be a TF2 Movie or Commercials for TF2/Adult swim. Plus, (I can't link it but) they said that their will be something extra, but it won't be a hat or a map.

I suppose it's time to play TF2 again. Pyro is my favourite class :3.

 

[Fr]anc[is]

The important question is: will there be new hats?

 

[ChildishLegacy]

There's new hats when Gabe eats a particularly nice sandwich so...

 

[Battleaxx90]

There will always be a new hat or thirteen coming to TF2, as surely as the sun rises over Gaben's big, fat-

*Episode 3 delayed*

WALLET! I WAS GONNA SAY WALLET!

 

[Triforceformer]

My guesses for the next two days

Day 2 - Weapon sets and hats for every class except Engineer, Soldier, and Pyro.
Day 3 - Meet the Pyro, maybe a new map/gamemode on top of Doomsday, and Pyro items.
Bonus Day - The Engineer gets his own new items that somehow relate to Meet the Pyro. And in a glorious call back of a certain infamous line from the Uber Update, the page will state "Don't worry Engineer fans, we only left out the Soldier this time!"

I found 2/3 of them without doing it, but after a friend told me of the last one i used that to find it.

Very...interesting...

Pyro isn't my main, but i do enjoy playing him.
