oh if not, im sure valve will update buildings to auto reflect-insta crit the pyro flames on him
Pyro nerfs make me sad, it's one of my most favorite classes. And what are you talking about, half length flames? Is that not in the news but still true?
At any rate, even more motivation to get better at reflecting. I like trying to do it already. The guy above made a good point about killing yourself trying to reflect demo shots and stickies though.
I wonder if the damage etc. nerf stuff applies to the backburner too. If so, it's even more totally useless now.
And of course you people knew that strafe-running largely negated the post-Bonk movement penalty before, right? Or so I thought.

>>"Last-weapon" initialization on respawn now sets itself to be the melee weapon if you donât have a selectable secondary weapon (like The Razorback).
>>Airblasting enemies into environmental deaths now awards the death credit to the Pyro.
Excellent, these annoyed the shit out of me.
>>Airblast re-fire delay reduced by 25%.
>>Airblast ammo usage reduced by 20%.
I'll now die because of lack of skill instead of mechanics woo!
>>The Sandman change
>>Added a slight speed reduction to stunned players.
bahahahaahahahahaaahahahahahaha >:3

It looks like there were a few things not originally in the patch notes? Now at the top:
I guess Crit-a-Cola is a Bonk alternative? It would make sense given they tweaked Bonk in the same update.

Mmm, if it's some sort of Mini-Critical Hax item for the Scout, well.. I don't know, but things might be getting a little crazy. :lol

I can't connect to anything right now, even servers that appear to have people in them. I'm just going to wait it out for a while.

I guess from the Steam forums, I'm just copy-and-pasting from Gamespot:
Yes, this is going to go badly. :lol
Edit: It's on TF2Items (Look beside the Max head near the bottom, it doesn't have an icon yet), and it looks like a purple can of Bonk.

Yeah, freight's a pretty common 5cp in comp. It's a lot smaller than blands or even granary, so I'm not sure how well it will do with tons of people. It also can stress out bad servers--there are a lot of trains running around. It would probably be worth adding to the rotation; it's fun.

eh I think if you let a pyro get close to you, u deserve what u get, but its clear now that valve doesn't want pyros to actually "use" the flame thrower, they want them to just sit around thumbing their assholes until a soldier fires 123948712 rockets (not using the w key to move or the m1 key to shoot, thats a pyro-only bind), or...... they could reflect kill grenades at a demo, and if the demo TRIES REALLY REALLY HARD and runs up to kiss them, maybe he will die also as they do (since you know reflected grenades still hurt them only now with extra crit POWERS!...and their splash damage distance > reflect distance).
or I can just go demo and kill everyone, all the time, ...like usual

cb is just fucking dumb to begin with, give us napalm or something. Its not as lore breaking as a ....broadsword/shield wielding demoman mind you, but still. Yes I said lorebreaking :lol
Medic seems like the only class that they got "right" even moreso with its updates... Spy too i guess I dont really play it, although I think godmode-ringer is a bit much
and I would have have terminal cancer IRL than be caught using a BB on purpose in tf2.

fuck dumbed down action quake, im playing fallout 3 now, it sold more so its more better, take that robin walker!
I'm one of the few people who thinks that every item so far has its use, and many of them appeal to different people because they have different playstyles.Botolf said:
Contrary to the way I act, I'm actually quite reasonable.
Although I should say I don't necessarily feel the same way about all these community items so far.
for those who are unaware cp_freight has been around for a long long time now and is sort of a staple competitive map, but for some reason the cool version was never made official. so the creator had to switch alot of it up and make it terrible until valve liked it, and now its literally a shadow of the map it was, meaning its completely terrible in its official form
thanks valve!
thanks valve!
well yeah until it updates, of course
i wish valve would be less mean about updating, though
e.g., playing old demos is now impossible (well not IMPOSSIBLE but with all these changes i'd probably have to go download an old version of tf2 for the demo playback to not bug out even more than usual... c'est la vie)

Yeah it does kinda suck Pyro is becoming less and less of an Offensive class. I used to be him a lot when I started playing but grew out of him.

Why is the server only 24 players?
People didn't use it because unless you're super stealthy or it's a good map, it does less damage in general (no random crits I assume). At least that's my guess.Twig said:
Plus you can't reflect arrows, reflect balls, reflect jarate, reflect rockets, reflect pipe bombs, reflect sentry rockets, protect against ubers, extinguish teammates, keep charging demomen away from you, kill enemies (even ubers) by knocking them off cliffs...
Surely even you can admit that some of those things are valuable.

Which is why the flamethrower should have been nerfed long ago.
show me once where i said none of those are valuableBlizzard said:People didn't use it because unless you're super stealthy or it's a good map, it does less damage in general (no random crits I assume). At least that's my guess.

there's a reason i don't use the backburner and it's always been because i like the airblast and that won't change now
