[QUOTE=latin_geek;25376744]Plus the fact that apparently 70% of all medics don't know they have a fucking sryinge gun. Seriously you puff them once and they run away for a health pack.[/QUOTE]
Dude, don't. Just... don't waste your time. I tried that too, he apparently doesn't understand that a lot of Medics don't even know how to use anything except the Medigun and Ubersaw.
Edit: He thought he 'addressed it' by stating that the Blutsauger can outdamage most Pyros, despite the fact that I specifically stated that very few Medics ever actually shoot anyone when in retreat.
Just use Degreaser Airblast + Shotgun, you get about 20 From the Fire, 60 From the shotgun and then 3 Dps from the Burn, Pretty effective killers, especially if you hunt them with the shotgun afterwards.
[QUOTE=C4rnage;25368948]On beginning of tf2, pyro had a function, set people on fire and retreat[/QUOTE]
I hated this pussy tactic, it was one of the cheapest things about the pyro back in the day, just tag someone in flame and they had an almost 100% guaranteed death unless they found a med kit. At least now the pyro has to sit his ass down and stay in battle. It's fair, and I would rather they not changed it back to the way it was.
[QUOTE=Doomish;25376876]
stop developing TF2 and opt for Episode 3 instead. :eng99:[/QUOTE]
How many times do i repeat this?
All game series at Valve are worked on by SEPERATE teams, theres a TF2 team, L4d2 team, Portal team, HL team...

Valve has a fairly loose corporate structure, team members are sometimes transferred across to different projects.

True, I like that Valve has made it so that Pyro can be used more skillfully than just HURR SET PEOPLE ON FIRE RETREAT, but I'd like the burn damage to be buffed slightly to counter-act all of the stealth-nerfs they've put out over the years in the form of dozens of ways to put out fires or heal yourself.
Come to think of it, the Medic has becomes pretty marginalised because of all the healing and extinguishing too.
[QUOTE=A B.A. Survivor;25371041]HAHAHAHA No.
Pyros will now airblast you into a wall until your cloak runs out, then hit you with the Axtinguisher.[/QUOTE]
That's only true for good pyros who have the axtinguisher equipped, don't have the backburner equipped, and who are not currently being shot at or chased, so about 1/100.

I usually just find myself roasting for the satisfaction of it. Unless they are cloaked in a corner.
But I'll still taunt, for it is satisfying to kill spies.
Degreaser + Axtinguisher = Murder Machine.
But I agree, the basic strategy of fire and forget is no longer a very viable tactic.
I guess Valve appealed to the 'competitive' community of Team Fortress 2. Honestly, spamming M+1 was so easy back then that it made everything easy. But now, it's more of being able to get close enough to ax(tinguish) the person, or finish him off with your shotgun (granted you use it).

Best way to kill spies as pyro, airblast them up into the air a few times in a corner, hit taunt while they're up in the air, time it right for awesomeness when they land.

Very true, being able to quickswitch turns pyro from a tactical playstyle to a reflex-based one, which kinda makes them more dangerous among skillful players, where speed on decisions is everything.
I can see them appearing a lot on gullywash's last point.

true, but if burn damage was stronger, pyro could be better on scenarios where he is outnumbered or cant get close enough to axtinguish, most of this situations are on open areas, then pyro wouldnt kill someone with a axt but would damage the other team, making it easier for his teammates to finish them
i think valve could boost burn damage to something like +25%~, but change the damage formula, instead of constant damage, on first 1~2 secs it would do minimal damage like 1~2 per sec, so the boost wouldnt affect pyro dps when throwing flames on u, after this initial time, damage would go up gradually.
boost on burn damage also helps flare gun, a weapon that i find quite weak and too situational
Fire on the Xbox version is scary as shit.

Yeah, it must be hard when you can't aim.
