[QUOTE=Croshi;36502181]2 PM lol[/QUOTE] 22 hours from now is 11 AM CST.

[QUOTE=mooman1080;36502242]I'm not so sure about the sorch shot, I mean it makes sense to combine airblast and the flaregun because you always want to switch after a flare, and always want to airblast before a switch, but unless knock does more than just airblast I don't see much new use with it. Really the aoe factor is going to determin how helpful it is I think.[/QUOTE] See guy near a cliff, shoot him off. Is how I see it so far. I wonder if the AoE will knockback too.

Am i the only one who is kinda disappointed by the new scattergun? I love the brawlers blaster, don't get me wrong... But the stats. Its like playing engineer without a sentry!

[QUOTE=Sliferjam Jones;36502240]Soldier now needs an equippable taunt where so long as you hold the button he just sits in the trash can and mumbles to himself.[/QUOTE] Imagine 6 soldiers, sitting in an alley, doing that

[QUOTE=tso;36502273]am i reading that right on the sniper, you can't zoom when in focus?[/QUOTE] haha i see.. they fixed the spelling error

[QUOTE=NapyDaWise;36502296]Sniper glasses bodygroup guys.[/QUOTE] Opens a lot of doors. Now if they do it for the Medic I won't have to keep using my custom player model.

[QUOTE=tso;36502273]am i reading that right on the sniper, you can't zoom when in focus?[/QUOTE] Can't unscope, I believe. Better for guys who like to hang way back, than snipers who like to get close to the action.

-snip-

I'm going to fucking kill someone if the new Rocket Launcher comes with a new taunt and Pyro's Scorch Shot does not.

Oh yeah, guys. Don't you ever doubt that there's more to come. We still have the mystery items. I think we've seen about 15% of the real update. I'm not kidding.

[QUOTE=Gabriel_Gore;36502310]Am i the only one who is kinda disappointed by the new scattergun? I love the brawlers blaster, don't get me wrong... But the stats. Its like playing engineer without a sentry![/QUOTE] I don't think they'll ever make any scatterguns that can be more viable than the stock.

I'm thinking of this, remember that thing on the first day on HUB with some weird characters that implied to not watch this before Meet The Pyro and was removed later? I think that will reappear and Valve want us to see MtP first, because Robots will be revealed on the video, then we got to see all the info about MvM in the site. Rainbows?

[QUOTE=LaughingStock;36502149]why are you guys mixing in MvM with MtP? You're just setting yourself up for disappointment.[/QUOTE] [I]SPECULATION[/I]

Something tells me that Valve's underwhelming us with content from the updates only to come out with the big and exciting stuff on day 3. But hey, maybe I'm getting my hopes up.

I seriously hope this ties in with another update.

Pocket Lint ======= Pocket Pistol

Public Enemy pack seems like what they tried to do the the Milkman Pack. Midrange fighter with more HP, less DPS at close range, and some mild boosts of strength (speed with the enemy pack, Health with the mad milk pack).

[QUOTE=Uesrname;36502290]Well, not matter what happens, we can all look forward to this getting back up to speed in the next week or two. [video=youtube;svQ-uerFDu4]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=svQ-uerFDu4&feature=player_embedded[/video][/QUOTE] Ha, the heavy trying to shoot through the glass had me cracking up. I've actually seen that happen before.

[QUOTE==DarkStar=;36502172]Cleaner + huntsman is going to be so much fun.[/QUOTE] Battle sniper! Oh man I'm so excited. This'll go perfectly with my strange huntsman.

Now we wait for tomorrow [img]http://i.imgur.com/SmJyU.jpg[/img] Totally stolen from r/tf2

[QUOTE=dageek;36502080]I think they haven't showed off the stats for them but they'll still be included in the update[/QUOTE] I hope so. I like the entirety of all those sets. With any luck, Stylish Spy and others will show up tomorrow (along with more of the comic).

Doing some theorycrafting here, so obviously I won't know how these items play out until I use them, but out of all these items I can only see myself using the pistol and SMG. The Scattergun looks like a mid-range Scout weapon, since he'll be like Pyro speed until he hits boost. It does less damage, so I hope they don't make the damage falloff too punishing or otherwise he'll have to be right up in somebody's face to be effective and with his slower speed and less damage it won't work out too well. It'll probably be a boon to flag cappers, though. The pistol looks great, you have a tiny bit more health and don't take fall damage but you'll get raped by Pyros. It's a good sidegrade since it shoots slower, so I might use it on and off with the regular pistol. The sniper rifle, if by "upscoping" they mean unscoping, doesn't look too good. Being stuck in scope is horrible, since you move slow and are an easy target for other snipers. 25% faster charge isn't that big of a boon unless you're fighting heavies since you usually only need to do a quick scope to pull off a 150 dmg headshot which then sets you up for a bodyshot to finish off most classes, but since this weapon does less damage on bodyshots you can't do that. The SMG looks good, if not a bit OP. The regular SMG is good for finishing people off after a headshot or dealing with Scouts and Spies, so you trade the ability to defend yourself that well with a KGB effect. If you can use the crits with your other weapons then you'll be pulling off 150 dmg noscopes or like 35dmg per SMG bullet. The bazooka looks like a spam weapon, which thankfully you can't refill through dispensers. It might be too powerful or it might be too useless depending on how long it takes to charge and if it slows you down like the cow mangler. If all three rockets do individual damage then that could easily kill most classes, but when dealing with a medic + (soldier, demoman, pyro) it probably won't do too well since you'll be low on clip afterwards and it won't be enough damage to kill them in one blow. The flare gun stats don't look too good. The flaregun is good for the pyro to do long range damage, so the knockback isn't useful at that range, and up close you'd want to use the shotgun instead. Plus, it does less damage. If it still gets crits on people who are on fire it might be good to use if you're low on health but otherwise as a Pyro you could just use your compresion blast to keep people away while you retreat. The ability to ignite multiple people at once is basically a detonator on hit instead of manually detonating, so it might be better for people who can't time it that well, but then you can't flarejump like with the detonator. The weapons are all visually appealing, and I'd love to get my hands on the Sniper hat + glasses, but I don't think I'll be using the majority of these weapons.

What is tobor?

[QUOTE=Rayss;36502356][I]SPECULATION[/I][/QUOTE] but it's just so silly. this update is about the pyro, MvM can have its own update.

Alright gentlemen, everyone get into cryo stasis for the remaining day's wait(or just down a whole bottle of nyquil).
