Did you see that there's an item that let's you see what Pyro sees when he kills people and uses his weapons? It's already available and it's hilariously AWESOME!Don Savik said:
At least you freaking have your loadout. I've been playing since the update's gone live, nearly two hours, and I'm still not getting any connection to the item server.DustyDrB said:
I just gave up. It's a bummer to miss out since it's a big event night for the game, but I was getting nowhere just fiddling around failing to join servers and dealing with massive latency with the item servers.TheYellowCellPhone said:
So it's a Frozen Synapse night.
I'm trying to use this pile of ash so I can (hopefully) use one of the Pyro's pyromania weapons. But it keeps saying there's an error in loading it. It's kinda annoying.DustyDrB said:
My favorite class just got crazy-psycho. I always thought he was, you know, a pyromaniac, but this is just scary. He's like Cthulhu in the real world and crap-in-pants nutty in his own mind.
Trust me, Doomsday is nothing really great. It's effectively just King of the Hill, with the elevator climb from Hightower thrown in. Remember how annoying that elevator climb is, since you're so defenseless, the enemy team starts to spam you, and if you step off you immediately lose all progress? It's the same exact thing, except the elevator platform is a bit wider, and there's no traditional payload push before it. It's still full of Pyros, Tomislav Heavies, Engineers, and Scouts, and shame on you for trying to survive as any other class. Every case of Australium will be won by whichever team had the most Demoman and Heavies backing up their Scout (and it will always be a Scout who will take the Australium[/b]), the platform burns down to which team can overrun the other with Pyros, explosives and Mini-sentries - oh, as far as I know the lifting speed isn't sped up by how many players stand on the stage, and only the carrier can cause the elevator to rise. When the Australium is dropped by one team, the other team cannot pick it up as their own, they have to defend it from being picked up from DURR HURR Force-a-Nature Scouts for around fifteen seconds, in an area that will quickly become a big clusterfuck of particle effects; and when the case respawns as neutral, you still aren't guarenteed that the team that defended the case will get it, you have to hope that your team had the closer Scout.DustyDrB said:
It's more akin to a round of Hightower, only a bit faster and with annoying CTF mechanics involved. I'm probably never going to play it, achievements be damned. Generally talking: The team that starts ahead will stay ahead, and get yourself ready for Autoscrambles.
I must say, there's something about axtinguishing a spy and listening to him lie down and laugh and snort that's both really funny and kinda disturbing.
It is.Zhougdog said:
To everyone asking the same question. Please just go to the valve site -_-

That would make my day.
All these years of waiting... for this
I have never felt so fucking great!
Well this totally makes up for Half-Life3.
But yeah, joking aside, Meet The Team vids have always been great, and Meet The Pyro must have been the most anticipated one. And despite all the pressure, Valve did not disappoint.
Very amusing, another unique character fleshed out, another great tech demo for their movie maker, another great piece of publicity for TF2 (hell, it makes me want to reinstall the game right now)

That remimded me of that one episode of Eek the Cat where Sharky got reprogrammed to be non-violent a la Clockwork Orange and still manaed to spread terror.
If you look closely to the clouds in PyroVision, you can see the universal gender symbol flying around.. but the part where you can see if it's male or female (The arrow of the cross) is to blurry to make out.Scorched_Cascade said:I loved it. *pukes Rainbows*
All the dialogue on the Pyro's being was great too.
The Heavy "I fear no man......but that thing"
The Scout (according to the captions says: "He's not here is she?"
The Spy "Inhuman thoughts"
They pretty much just tipped their hat at the most popular theories.
It's kind of funny how many people think the Pyro is on drugs though, it's the constant exposure to the high levels of asbestos in his/her/it's suit people (the same thing that screwed his/her/it's lungs up), wake up
Asbestos...not even once.
