The Pyro Upgrades

The steam update revealed that the axetinguisher will be the melee weapon, which gives a guaranteed crit if the enemy is on fire.

What do you reckon the other weapons are going to be?

I think something that burns for longer but does no instant damage is a possibility.

 

That is one of my favorites. To set them on fire and then "axe" them a question. :D

 

zing!

I always appreciate a good pun

 

I forsee many double ubers when this comes out. One pyro with flamethrower and one with the axe.

 

a cool weapon to have would be one where you spurt petrol over the ground, and it lies dormant until shot at, setting the ground on fire etc for a short while.

Not that im into tf2, but hey.....

 

as long as the puns are as good as "axetinguisher," then I approve. Now hurry up with them damn sniper upgrades....

 

I want new demoman stuff :D

 

Heavy movie was first. :p

 

I'm wondering what that pyro update is (the one that affects the pyro regardless if you have the unlocks or not).

 

They've announced it now. The 'alternate fire' key on the basic flamethrower will now release a burst of compressed air that drives back enemies, knocks aside stickies, and can even blow rockets back at the person who fired them.

Seems fun to me.

 

The pyro upgrades are nice but the solder change is shit. I killed myself more than the pyros killed me in close range areas because they were right on top of me.

 

Best. Upgrade. Ever.
I'm going to start playing as a pyro and try to taunt people to death.

 

The Flare gun is a great long range replacement for the shotgun, and I love the backburners health boost

 

Good thing they added a flare gun and not a napalm launcher.

 

If it weren't for these forums I wouldn't get my required TF2 updates!!!
*runnes towards the TF2 servers, and loses pains on the way*

 

What d'you reckon the next lot are going to be? I'm thinking either Heavy or Scout

 

It seems to me they are going from the least used/affective classes to the main ones. I think Heavy/Engi will be last. Doctor definitely wasn't a useless class, but it was under-used most often. Pyro was the second most worthless class.

The spy and sniper will be annoying upgrades, so hopefully they save those for a bit. I guess that means I'd expect the scout to be next.

...

I was just trying to play TF2 and was getting pretty annoyed. Everytime I wanted to rush into battle my scoreboard popped up. >
My Empires run button is my scoreobard button for TF2. TF2 doesn't even have a run button. I'm a dumbass.

 

Pyro was amazing before, now you could almost call it overpowered. :p

 

Pyro pushback is funny as hell, especially while protecting capture points against ubers. Also, pushing Demoman's stickies apparently counts towards the achievement.
