I'm glad I rarely play pyro, they're screwing around with him/her/it so much lately it's insane.

I've not bothered skinning TF2, I had a few skins for CSS but nothing to special, can never be bothered to do it, all the weapons and hats look fine to me anyway, save for the ambassadors reload animation.

They could have found a better way to balance, imo. In my opinion since Pyro is so easy to play, it should in fact lose against any good heavy/soldier/demoman in a close range faceoff. I left out Engineer because he's meant to be underpowered alone and Scout because the scout has running speed and can easily keep range if he knows the pyro is there, therefore not needing to be able to be better at close range.

I would've much rather have seen an increased burn time or increased burn damage. but increased flame damage? Meh. Back to having to go heavy/soldier to stand a chance at surviving a corner camping pyro.

With the exception of heavy, your claim that a pyro should lose close range is well... completely absurd and wrong in every possible way to be wrong. The pyro is supposed to be the best class at close range which is why the pyro has nothing that's very effective over long range (the flaregun doesn't count because even though it's useful it's not powerful at all), and getting close enough to any enemy with a mid to long range weapon as a primary (essentially EVERY class except pyro) isn't as easy as you'd like to believe. If a pyro is able to get you in his range then you should die, and if you're getting killed by pyros that are charging headfirst into you in plain sight, you're just bad.

Flare guns are actually good for mid-long range attacks now since they do crit hits.

Munch Dog May 21st, 2010 10:13 PM

But that's only if they're already on fire.

blaze_the_cat May 21st, 2010 10:41 PM

Agh!

I crafted my metal into a stupid Tippler's Tricorne.

Worst hat ever.

Avatar May 22nd, 2010 2:13 AM

It sure ain't no Hustler's hallmark.

Kalsard May 22nd, 2010 3:48 AM

:( Bad luck.
I feel sad when I think of all the metal I wasted crafting 3 for 1 scrap metal.
Now It's 2..
X_X

blaze_the_cat May 22nd, 2010 3:53 AM

Damn right. I should have waited.

One more refined metal, and i was guaranteed a Heavy hat.

I must go to my corner, and cry into my sandvich, making it soggy and unsavory.

I think the worst hats are the hatless hats.

blaze_the_cat May 22nd, 2010 5:12 AM

Yeh, it could have been worse.

A HotRod would have been totally sick.

Theodore Bruno May 22nd, 2010 5:40 AM

And as long as we're on the crafting subject
Krtizkrieg+Bonk Soda=Kritz-a-Cola
Huntsman+Dead Ringer= The new Sniper's knife
Jarate+ Axestuingsher=New Demo Axe

Munch Dog May 22nd, 2010 7:25 AM

The crafting combination for the new demo axe puts terrible things into my head.

And I got my second refined metal like... yesterday or something, I still need two more if I want my pyro hat. I hope I get the fireman helmet.

Avatar May 22nd, 2010 8:58 AM

I crafted all of my hats into a Hustler's hallmark two months ago.
I don't regret it.

Ven May 22nd, 2010 9:00 AM

A thread for TF2.
*cries*

Oh how I love this game, although It's not nearly entertaining for me as it is for you guys,
Since my graphics card has the power of a three year old ballet dancer.
I've been subdued to playing the console version :'(

Munch Dog May 22nd, 2010 1:01 PM

I don't even consider the console version to be TF2 anymore.

Because it isn't.

Sneeze May 22nd, 2010 1:54 PM

I'm saving up refined metal now, my initial plan was to get a spy hat but I'm playing spy less nowadays so my opt for soldier first instead (hoping for stainless pot). I'll see how I feel in two more metals' time.

Edit, I tried the 360 version once at a friends and its terrible, it handles like hell, lags to **** and I could barely even get a single backstab, how anyone can play it is beyind me. 3: Plus, no updates. D:

blaze_the_cat May 22nd, 2010 5:58 PM

BTW, on crafting:

Bonk! + Bonk! + Batter's Helmet = Bonk! Helmet

MuRd3riNGQu33nX May 22nd, 2010 6:27 PM

I here the PC community is the strongest, anyone here play on the PS3? my pc most likely won't run it and I'm on PSN more than Live. How is the PS3 community for TF2?

Kalsard May 22nd, 2010 9:46 PM

Any opinions on the new Demo Axe or the new Sniper knife? I want to see if its worth smelting my items into. Thanks :P

blaze_the_cat May 23rd, 2010 1:43 AM

I have Xbox Tf2 as well as PC.

Ven May 23rd, 2010 11:27 AM

The ps3 community sucks, it's full of freaking snipers, engineers and soldiers.
There is no strategy involved whatsoever.
