Scout items: ahahahahahahaha oh god valve you are hilarious
Sniper items: Rifle looks cool, SMG seems hilarious. Wonder when they'll learn that "No random crits" isn't a disadvantage 99% of the time a person is playing.
Soldier items: If you get kritz'd as setup gates open, this would be pretty funny.
Pyro flare gun: nope

I'm pretty sure they mean that tomorrow the patch goes live with those item sets, and new game mode, and of course, Meet the Pyro.
[QUOTE=Clovernoodle;36502255]I mean... you get to move around at lightning speed.
That sounds pretty fun[/QUOTE]
Then you get your shit wrecked by a soldier/pyro/sentry/demoman/sniper
Not to mention how much of a burden you are on your team. You're slower until you hit somebody, which makes the initial rush for a point pointless, as there's no way you'll get there before other scouts/demomen/soldiers. You're even more of a burden than quick-fix medics.
Playing on nospread servers makes the baby blaster a straight downgrade.
That pistol though. Equipped forever.
[QUOTE=Psychopath12;36502030]It might affect the Pyro as well, which could make it a half-damage incendiary rocketlauncher.[/QUOTE]
If that's the case, it'll remind me of a certain [url=http://wiki.teamfortress.com/wiki/Incendiary_Cannon_%28Classic%29]TFC weapon[/url]. I'm okay with that.
To all the pyro vs scout people.
The reason why the scout has such a massive advantage is not because of his dps.
The scout can run away if he's losing, the pyro can't.

F2P announcement video from june 2011. at 0:34 you can see the new RL, Valve has had this one planned for ages edit: also at 0:40[/QUOTE]
Can't see shit, cap'n.
I am going to use the fuck out of that sniper rifle

God yes. I used to love the incendiary cannon. Now it's back, and pretty much the same as it was, excepting that you can't burn stuff through walls like in TFC. That's fine by me. if anything, it will be the forst thing I craft. If not, the SMG or the pistol.
Im really curious how they are gonna pull off with the interview part in MTP. Are you actually going to see his face, is his face going to be hidden by a well placed lamp?
I wonder how far will the Scorch Shot knock people back, I imagine it could be awesome on maps with lots of pits. I'm a bit afraid it might be unimpressive seeing what happened to the Detonator though.

They probably are going to have some valve made sets too.
i like how people are complaining that the pyro only has one weapon so far.
the medic didnt even get anything in the uber update until the last day

Pyro's got the fastest speed of all normal classes, only slower than Scout. Tied with Medic.
It's also got the confusion and distortion of constant fire to blind enemies and the noise from it to distract them.
And, on top of that, airblasts to just tell them to fuck off.
Getting away is never a problem for me when I play Pyro. It's usually easier than when I play Scout, since by the time I'm trying to bounce as Scout, my health is already in the flashing red.

[QUOTE=HerSilverHammer;36502467]Pyro's got the fastest speed of all normal classes, only slower than Scout. Tied with Medic.[/QUOTE]A non Attendant set Pyro shares base speed with Engie, Sniper, and Spy. Who the hell keeps spreading this misinformation?
[QUOTE=Mr.Moustachio;36502452]They probably are going to have some valve made sets too.[/QUOTE]
Apparently they're gonna be hawking the new flaregun in meet the pyro, and since half of meet the medic was spent hawking the new medigun, I'd remain doubtful as to that being the case.
[QUOTE=Izzy7s7;36502189]3 degrees of spread? How significant is that, compared to shotgun/scattergun bullet spread?
Also, it sounds like the UT99 rocket launcher.[/QUOTE]
Here, I made a handy diagram!

I kinda like these sets.
The Scout and Soldier stuff looks interesting.
The Sniper stuff is alright. I'm glad they made a new Smg, I just wish it wasn't so modernized.
Still, nothing to complain about really.

Pyro doesn't run as fast as the Medic.
I gave a list of things I wanted yesterday in an argument against Ned. Needless to say, a lot of that was fulfilled today. New Sniper SMG, new Scout shotgun, it's crazy.
So, does that countdown tell us when the update will actually drop? Because I won't be home, then.
I wonder if the new rocket launcher will use air for ammunition.
That last sentence kinda bothers me.
>We've also only got one more day until Pyromania goes live, exploding into a fireball of new item sets, a new game mode, and of course, Meet the Pyro.
Makes it sound like all is left is a Valve-made Pyro set, MtP, and that's it.

pyro, engineer, sniper, spy all run at the same speed
Snipers set is a rape train in the hands of a good sniper
On maximum boost with the Baby Blaster TF2 becomes Tribes without a jetpack.

The opposite can be argued. The Solemn Vow and Overdose were also not in Meet the Medic, but we got them.
Valve sets or not I can almost guarantee the one flaregun isn't the Pyro's only item.
The speed boost was actually what I thought Bonk was going to be when it was first released.
