TF2 Pyromania Update, Day 1

[Mysterious Druid]

Guys! Guys! What if the Pyro... what if the Pyro himself... was Poopy Joe! And the round only ends when a Pyro jumps into the cockpit and takes off!

Well, I thought it was a good idea...

 

[TheYellowCellPhone]

May I remind everyone that WETA, the guys behind Grordbort's Victory and Infinity sets for Soldier and Engineer respectively, have shown their model sets on the Steam workshop for a Medic and Scout set.

I'll get your hat.

OT: So psyched for this. Also, after this is over, Steam Summer Sale will be upon us!

 

[DJ_DEnM]

So much stuff happens this week!

Dawnguard comes out tomorrow!

So does the ME3 extended ending!

And now Pyromania!

And my birthday is this friday!

 

[DustyDrB]

Great, Just when I was finally gunna get back to finishing ME2 on my new Xbox 360.

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

Is that kills or hours?

Yeesh. Left out that word. Yeah, it's hours. 400 kills is like...2 or 3 sessions.

 

[Signa]

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

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.

Lol! I was referring to the Poopy Joe files only, because I forgot about the two desktops. So when you said 2/3 of them, I was a little confused about what I might have missed.

 

[BishopofAges]

Oh good lord this is going to be a good one, everyone read up on the new game mode? Seen the secret pages? Lol'd at the massive tinfoil hat conspiracy on the steam forums? Well if this is anything like the engineer update I can assure you of one thing and one thing only:

That part will suck most for people like me who's favorite class is far-and-away the Pyro. But I do avoid picking classes that my team is already loaded with, though, so I guess I'll be playing lots of Scout and DH Soldier when that's the situation.

 

[Mr.Governor]

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.

Except he immediately replied with this [https://twitter.com/Clarknova1/status/216282795687944192]

Still,can't be too sure though

 

[Rastien]

Looking forward to the surge of free pyro food :3

The update for Day 2: New weapons for the Scout, Soldier, Sniper, and one for the Pyro [http://www.teamfortress.com/pyromania/cityonfire/].

That sniper rifle....I already hated Snipers enough.
The Scout weapons. Those downsides are waaaay too terrible. I'm gonna enjoy roasting Scouts who decide to use them, though.

That Soldier weapon: Seems like a fantastic defensive weapon. Definitely will be fun to use.

That whole presentation sort of makes me think of the 30's... Is it possible that the Pyro is from the 30's?

Either way, I don't care for Sniper, Soldier, or Scout, and only my brother cares about Pyro (I'm an Engie/Heavy/Spy playing person). Still, tomorrow is the big day!

Reminds me of the Unreal Tournament luncher, which is a good thing.
That and the sniper rifle are the only ones I'm interested in trying myself.

 

[DustyDrB]

Grrrrr.....
Snipers always trying to ruin my fun. I think in the spirit of this update (celebrating the close quarter combat fun of the Pyro), Snipers should be made of gun powder and their weapons be turned into various fuses for me to ignite. Then once this weekend is over you go can back to the normal routine of killing me to death.



Offensive medic combos are gonna have to be on their toes for Soldiers using the new rocket launcher.

 

[Kahunaburger]

Well, I'm glad to see that they're finally doing something about Soldier not getting enough weapons.

 

[DustyDrB]

Yeah...there are already a lot of rocket launchers. But I like the idea of this new one still.
I just wish the Demoman would get more love. And Demoknight shit does NOT count. I still only use stock weapons with him.

 

[Kahunaburger]

But I like the idea of this new one still.

Yeah, actually I can pretty much get behind this RL for that reason, too. Much better than (say) the Liberty Launcher or the Cow Mangler because it actually puts a twist on Soldier play vs. just being a crutch.

EDIT: and yeah, some new demoman weapons would be awesome.

Ohh ohh, what about a big bundle of dynamite?
Oh, except it's a melee weapon.
And it comes with a shield.

 

[TheYellowCellPhone]

As a good Sniper player, I think I've already fallen in love with the Heatmaker. It could just do the decapitation effect and I'd still use it.

And it has a nerf that makes using your guns obsolete.

And the nerf also caters to using the Wee Booties or Bootlegger.

And there is no downside to using it during Medieval Mode.
