Has your opinion of a class / character changed since 2007? - Games

My views have changed on most of the classes. The only ones i can say havent changed are the Pyro, Soldier, and Heavy. And maybe the Scout.

Well I certainly view the Heavy with more respect in the course of some character depth being added with Poker Night and the last comic. He seems to be keeping a lot of things forcibly secret. Pyro changed the least to me (Then again Valve never shows anything of the Pyro aside from promotional stuff and being killed in a lot of the videos). His hats definitely imply he's a B Movie Scifi fan (Especially the brainslug). I picture that the enemy team views him as a frightening monster to run across on the battlefield though. And that while Pyro is probably contributing to his team in some fashion, that they like to distance themselves from him for safety. (Then again it's still the fact that Pyro hasn't shown up in any of the comic with the team or in any of the videos aside from dying). Medic's in a similar boat, but Robin's implications of the character have been keeping me interested on what's to come.

[QUOTE=Benvil;29720133]Then there is the silly hats, the female hat, and the feminine animations. Most people(like the op) just tend to judge him as being ill or completely insane. I think otherwise. I've always believe the Pyro as being either a humorous/unserious person, or a person who enjoy to humiliate, taunt and dominate the enemy in a manner which will make them cry into their sleep(or death). How would you feel, if someone wore a hat, which made them look like a retard/lady/child, beat the living crap out of you and dominated your ass? I believe we all deep inside would feel humiliated by that, and it would feed our anger and lust for revenge. For the same reasons, he sometimes taunt a feminine manner, to fuel your anger.[/QUOTE] You know, Pyro is pretty nerdy, supposedly. Hadoken, Air guitar, etc. Maybe he was a nerd picked on in school, called a girl, etc, and he wanted revenge on everyone that was mean to him. In the most painful way possible, and wearing women's clothing to make them feel like shit while he's killing them, or wearing women's clothing ironically because he was called a girl, or being called a girl really messed his mind up. Maybe he burned the school down, who knows? Like a case of super nerd rage and in real life a troll. [IMG]http://images1.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20090427101050/fallout/images/5/5a/Nerd_Rage%21.png[/IMG] EDIT: Oh yeah, someone mentioned Miss Pauling being the Pyro. I doubt it. I think Pyro and her are in this comic strip in two different places: [img]http://media.steampowered.com/apps/tf2/meetthedirector/director_02.jpg[/img] For a long time I used to think Pyro was the Scout's mother, in an incident where she found out the Spy was going to kill her son, and she came to her senses and decided to make Spy BURN for hurting her youngest baby. Now wouldn't that be heartwarming?

spy and sniper seemingly swapped characters in terms of loudness/calm reserve nature

[QUOTE=Simski;29722973]I agree with Pennywise more. Pyro uses the most unethical weapon in the game, a weapon that always kills slowly and that disfigures and causes immense pain while doing so. He has more maniacal laughters than most classes, and he's also the only class you never see the face of. To his enemies he is likely nothing more than a psychopathic monster, while to his teammates he still appears as a rather friendly guy. I like the frontpage suggestion best for Pyro's purse. Psycho crossdresser, like from Silence of the Lambs. For Pyro's hats? I would give no other explanation than Valve being dumb and listening to the fandom too much.[/QUOTE] The Beanie was to add to the idea that hes crazy. The Handyman Handle is.. Just.. Urgh. [editline]10th May 2011[/editline] [QUOTE=CakeMaster7;29723841]I think Pyro and Heavy are both crazy.[/QUOTE] Heavy had his entire family killed as a child, and lived in some prison area where the prisoners broke free and tortured the guards. I think that is why he started talking to different objects. I think it was like that anyways.

[QUOTE=Benvil;29723706]Ethics in war... Really now? Already been through that argument 3 times now. Your intends is to MURDER someone, I honestly don't see why you want to do it nicely. What is next? Giving people a pillow so they wont get hurt when you will kick them out from Mount Everest a second after? Again, I have no idea where you got the idea that a point blank Flame Thrower kills "slowly"... I guess people aren't aware how immense a heat Flame Throwers actually gives. You brain is likely toast before can give the pain a thought.[/QUOTE] Your argument means absolutely shit really, because flamethrowers ARE considered a war crime due to how unethical they are. You can not argue that dieing from a bullet wound or from bleeding to death is more horrible than being cooked alive. Your opinion on this is wrong, and that's not just my opinion, it is a fact and further supported by how it was made a warcrime. [QUOTE=Benvil;29723706]That is completely ignoring the fact that unethic=/=crazy. This whole argument started with people claiming for him to be crazy. I guess that one guy who fired a nuclear missile in a war, and afterwards live a completely normal life with his family, is completely crazy and out of his mind too? Ethics and crazy does not have to go hand in hand. War is war, there was nothing ethic with the concept to begin with, so there is not such thing as being ethic about murdering people.[/QUOTE] He's stereotyped as a psychopathic pyromaniac. He's not crazy because he uses an unethical weapon, he's crazy for burning people alive while laughing his lungs out. Laws against Warcrimes exist for a reason, "War is war" does not excuse you from using unusually cruel means to kill your enemies. Burning someone alive is an unusually cruel means of killing someone and therefor unethical, it is basically a war crime because it is considered "too evil". There are laws against killing people with flamethrowers, for the same reasons we have laws against raping people before you kill them. [QUOTE=Benvil;29723706]Also, laughing more maniacly than Heavy? I have to object on that one. Try to play some voice clips with Pyro laughing, then Heavy, then tell me who sound more like a maniac. Heavy enjoy slaughtering more than anything.[/quote] Irrelevant, Heavy has a much louder and heavier voice and he doesn't use a weapon quite as unethical, although he is indeed still crazy like the rest of the TF2 cast. [QUOTE=Benvil;29723706]Not to mention I find it fairly weird that you want to diss the "dumb" hats, but want him to be some crossdressing freakshow.[/quote] I think the purse was no more than a small joke, and although I don't think Valve ever meant for people to take it this stupidly serious, I think the most logical explanation is that he crossdress. I think the hats is too much because there's too many idiotic things based on the idea that Pyro is a silly little adorable idiot rather than a psychotic pyromaniac who enjoys burning people alive. [QUOTE=Benvil;29723706]Pyro could be crazy, but it's unknown. Well, except that all the TF2 classes is crazy to some extend, but Pyro doesn't have to be it more than the others. Beside the whole ethic thing being stupid to begin with, I really have no idea why people are comapring the two. Soldier is crazy, we know he went on a nazi killing spree, was rejected from all armies, continued to murder when the war was over, make up his own historic facts and talk to severed heads.[/quote] All the classes are obviously crazy in some ways, people just tend to think of Pyro as the most crazy one because he enjoys killing people in the most unethical ways in the game (No, the other ones aren't just as unethical, it is an extremely painful way to die and it is a war crime to kill someone with fire due to how unethical it is), and he does all this while laughing and acting playful. [QUOTE=Benvil;29723706]Pyro burn people and laugh... Maybe, it's just an "I'm happy" laugh, because he's being credit to team? Sort of hard to conclude it as being a maniec laugh when it's muffled so heavily. I've always heard it as a more giggling and happy laughter.[/quote] You are silly if you just think his laughs are "I'm happy because I'm credit to team". Even if he does giggle, how often do people giggle or laugh hysterically after they kill someone in an extremely painful way, unless they are complete psychopaths? [QUOTE=Benvil;29723706]Oh well... Apparently I'm the only one who believe Pyro COULD be a reasonable person, who just contribute in the war with the weapon he master. Note the could, because, maybe he is crazy/disgusting/freak/insane/female/etc, but saying he is based on such a narrow view is stupid in my honest opinion, specially when we know so little about him.[/quote] We know he is a pyromaniac, and we also know that Valve all created their characters to be based on stereotypes. So when Pyro does things that is highly stereotypical to a psychotic pyromaniac, we tend to believe it is because he is based on the pyromaniac stereotype. Valve has no created any character in the game who is completely normal and not crazy in any way, why would Pyro be the only boring character in the game? [QUOTE=Benvil;29723706]I just hope Meet the Pyro will shed some light on everything, so people could stop stating their thoughts as facts, even if it was to be him being a crossdressing freak.[/QUOTE] Why is being a crossdresser worse than any of all the other more insanely idiotic things people imply that the Pyro is? It's a nice reference to silence of the lambs and the general social awkwardness of some older men who crossdress show. [editline]10th May 2011[/editline] [QUOTE=Rarara;29735957]The Beanie was to add to the idea that hes crazy.[/QUOTE] I think people are missing the real joke here. The Beanie isn't just a wacky hat to imply that he is crazy. It is a nod to the socially awkward kids, the creepy kids that loved playing with matches, or burning ants with magnifying glasses. The old stereotype of pyromaniac children. [editline]10th May 2011[/editline] I don't like the hat that implies that he's a crossdresser because the purse was a subtle joke, while him wearing ladies hats just looks stupid in the game. I don't like the silly "objects on head" hats, because they're nothing more than idiots continuing the "lol Pyro is so wacky and cute xDD" trend. I don't like the Mexican hat, because it's too farfetched. I don't like the Vintage Merryweather because it doesn't fit into the 1960's theme... and so on.

Sombrero is often associated with spicyness and Pyro burns shit so yeah. No idea about the Merryweather but all I do know is that it looks fancy.

Enemy snipers. [h2]FUCK YOU, PISS RIFLE.[/h2]

Enemy scouts. [b]THE FAN HAS BEEN NERFED TO HIGH HELL AND BACK, WHYYY ARE YOU STILL USING IT AND ONLY TARGETING ME?! AND HOW ARE YOU DOMINATING ME?![/b]

[QUOTE=Recurracy;29736791]Sombrero is often associated with spicyness and Pyro burns shit so yeah. No idea about the Merryweather but all I do know is that it looks fancy.[/QUOTE] It has some relations to Pyro, but I still consider it too farfetched to fit Pyro's Pyromaniac Psychopath stereotype. There is only one thing known for sure about Pyro, he's a fearsome psychopathic pyromaniac. This was his stereotype, and in my opinion the only hats that fits this perfectly is the Brigade the Beanie.

My opinions are more on gameplay :P Scout before- Annoying class that dies all the time. Scout Now- Pro guy who is good at twitch aiming. Demoman Before- Hard to use class that requires great skill. Demoman Now- 2 kinds. Demospammers and good demoman (The ones who aren't dead from their own nades.) Medic Before- Easy class. How do I deploy an ubercharge guys? Medic Now- MOST IMPORTANT CLASS IN THE GAME! Snipers Before- Why are they sniping each other and actually never making a difference in the game? Is the sniper class really a minigame? Snipers Now- Why are they sniping each other and actually never making a difference in the game? Is the sniper class really a minigame? Pyro Before- Powerful class because he/she has a flamethrower. Pyro Now- M1. 3. Left Click. One more kill for me! Heavy Before- Why he no die? Heavy Now- Circle strafe meatshot. Spy Before- Awesome class that is only useful for backstabbing. Spy Now- Extremely useless in almost anything, but one of the most fun classes to play :D

Your opinion on this is wrong, and that's not just my opinion, it is a fact and further supported by how it was made a warcrime.[/quote] Opnions CANNOT be wrong, that goes against the entire concept. Also, I find it weird that you mark my argument as being shit, when you seem to have misunderstood half of it. Flame Throwers are unethic, so is nuclear, I've already agreed on this. But, war as an entire concept is unethic, and if I was to choose, all weapons was banned from this world. But, that is not the case, and as long as war is allowed in this world, I find it weird to put rules on it to say the least. I'm glad we are not throwing nuclears and flames over eachother, because it is very painful and terrible, but I can't help but find it retarded that you put laws on how you can and cannot murder someone. I understand the law, I'm glad it's there, but it's completely unfitting with the concept. If I was a general, and the law was not there to get me in trouble, then I would use ANY means to give me an edge, because, I were not ethic at all to begin with. I also find it sad to see you are the governments puppet. You state it as if their opinion got to be the most right, and those who disagree is wrong. But, I guess governments is all clean and never do crimes/ethicly wrong things. Blindly supporting the government in all their doings is idiocy, but like I said, I'm glad such disgusting war tools is forbidden, even if the concept is stupid. War is greedy and murderous. It's sort of strange to caring about the enemy feels when you are impaling him with all sorts of metal. [QUOTE=Simski;29736360]He's stereotyped as a psychopathic pyromaniac. He's not crazy because he uses an unethical weapon, he's crazy for burning people alive while laughing his lungs out.

There are laws against killing people with flamethrowers, for the same reasons we have laws against raping people before you kill them.[/quote] Stereotypes based on hardly anything yes, which is why I disagree. I've already said several times that ALL the classes of TF2 is crazy to some extend. But what I'm saying is I disagree with Pyro's weapon of choice and behavior makes him instantly more crazy. His laughter might sound maniac like to you, but some people just laugh in a evil manner by default, at least I know people who do. Beside that, most classes in TF2 is just happy to laugh about the missery of others, the Engineer everyone want to believe is all calm and generous, have taunts which consist of him laughing up your dead face. Pyro is crazy, but doesn't have to be it more than the others, not in MY opinion at least. Actually, that's the silly thing about all this. I originally just posted MY personal opinion and view about the Pyro(which people actually rated winner/agree, so I asume some people do agree), then people begun to tell me how I was wrong and how Pyro only can be much more insane than all the others, because he's some unethic bastard. Well, I still strongly disagree with everyone who conclude things about the Pyro when knowing so little, and people shooting on my opinion will not change that. People apparently disagree with my view on war, and think it makes complete sense to ban things in such concept, but that is still a fair derail from my original intends. I'm just fighting back, because I believe my opinion to be as valid as others. [QUOTE=Simski;29736360]Irrelevant, Heavy has a much louder and heavier voice and he doesn't use a weapon quite as unethical, although he is indeed still crazy like the rest of the TF2 cast.[/quote] I agreed with that all along, they all are out of their mind. They are paid to murder, which in my opinion is a crazy thing to do to begin with. But I'm not going to conclude on an unknown identity, we doesn't even know his part of the story. Beside, I still view people praising the Medic and shouting on Pyro as a bunch of hypocrites, the Medic enjoy sawing your limbs off while making jokes about medicine. [QUOTE=Simski;29736360]I think the purse was no more than a small joke, and although I don't think Valve ever meant for people to take it this stupidly serious, I think the most logical explanation is that he crossdress.[/quote] I agree with more of this, except the crossdresser part being more logical. He could be a crossdresser, or like I orignally said, he might have the purse as some sort of memory. If the original Pyro, before the hats and Valve's new attitude, ran around with the purse while fighting, I would agree on it being more logical. But, when it's just laying in the locker room, it could very well be an alternative to not having a picture. Like, if he for example had a daughter who died, and that was her favorite purse, then he will remember her each time he visit the locker room. It could be the case, it could not be the case. [QUOTE=Simski;29736360]I think the hats is too much because there's too many idiotic things based on the idea that Pyro is a silly little adorable idiot rather than a psychotic pyromaniac who enjoys burning people alive.[/quote] Beside them being an obvious result of the communities response to the Pyro, I wouldn't judge what reason there is for him wearing the hats. My personal thought is still humiliation reasons. [QUOTE=Simski;29736360]All the classes are obviously crazy in some ways, people just tend to think of Pyro as the most crazy one because he enjoys killing people in the most unethical ways in the game (No, the other ones aren't just as unethical, it is an extremely painful way to die and it is a war crime to kill someone with fire due to how unethical it is), and he does all this while laughing and acting playful[/quote] They indeed are. Yes, most people judge him as being more insane, but they are still concluding and stating as fact when they have abseloutly no idea. Wait... This is repating, I've already responded to this! [QUOTE=Simski;29736360]You are silly if you just think his laughs are "I'm happy because I'm credit to team". Even if he does giggle, how often do people giggle or laugh hysterically after they kill someone in an extremely painful way, unless they are complete psychopaths?[/quote] I'm not silly for leaving it as an open option. Maybe he aren't too bright, and is just happy to be credit to team, maybe not. Yes, it is psycho to do so, but not more than the other classes. What I believe? I believe it is because he is crazy, like everyone else, but that does not mean I conclude it or state it as fact, and I do not view it as him being more crazy than all the other classes, who do the exactly same thing. [QUOTE=Simski;29736360]We know he is a pyromaniac, and we also know that Valve all created their characters to be based on stereotypes. So when Pyro does things that is highly stereotypical to a psychotic pyromaniac, we tend to believe it is because he is based on the pyromaniac stereotype.[/quote] Gotta give you that one, but we still cannot conclude that they did the pyro with stereotypes in mind, just because other classes were. We also cannot conclude that it indeed makes him more insane than everyone else, let alone the Soldier/Heavy/Medic(who seem to peak at the crazyness, until more is revealed about Pyro, if ever). [QUOTE=Simski;29736360]Valve has no created any character in the game who is completely normal and not crazy in any way, why would Pyro be the only boring character in the game?[/quote] Again, I agreed with this all along. Don't know why you think otherwise, just because I defend Pyro as being concluded more crazy than the others. Never stated he had to be boring either... He is indeed crazy, and maybe he have some insane backstory, but I cannot conclude any of it. [QUOTE=Simski;29736360]Why is being a crossdresser worse than any of all the other more insanely idiotic things people imply that the Pyro is? It's a nice reference to silence of the lambs and the general social awkwardness of some older men who crossdress show.[/quote] Never said it was. I'm the one who try to leave all options open, rather than concluding. I'm personally hoping Pyro is the man form the concept art, with some sorrowful backstory which explain why he chose this job, and why he confuse everyone about his gender/personality/culturality.

That was not a part of anything to begin with, and my only intend is for people to stop trying to conclude and leave the options open. Having your opinion is fine, and if you wish to believe he is the most crazy of all, you are most welcome! But please don't come and state how am I wrong, and how Pyro clearly must be completely out of his mind, because who are you to conclude that. Also, some of you need to learn there is a disagree rating, and rating dumb is not the only option in the world. That, or your view is so narrow that anyone who doesn't share your opinion is dumb.

The purse in the locker was never stated to belong to Pyro, this idea was created by the community. However since him being the owner was the most logical if it were to belong to anyone in the crew since all the other people have things in the locker room that obviously belongs to them, this is what the purse has become. Valve answered the conspiracy theories about the purse by giving him feminine "humiliation round" animations. Since it is highly unlikely that he is female, the most fitting answer to the socially awkward and sometimes feminine personality of Pyro is that he is a crossdresser. The purse belonging to his long laugh daughter or his dead wife brings unknown people into the picture and doesn't fit any of his personality traits. Now bugger off.
