Pyro vs Heavy doesnt even make sense. There isn't a rivalry there like sniper/spy demo/soldier

close-mid range, upfront mowing down of enemies vs. close range, ambushing mowing down of enemies
there's definitely something there between them
they're also both the underdog classes nobody plays that aren't viable in 6v6

No one said it [I]is[/I] a "war", heck the leaked image even shows "votes".
they both have guns with no reload, both are long plagued with balance issues and both have disorted skill/effectiveness ratio curves.
makes plenty of sense

They might say in the day 2 update or they all ready said '' Ever since the first apes climbed out of the trees, there were apes who did it faster. Some apes just fell out of the tree. It's a sad fact that all apes are not created equal. '' Heavy being the ape that falls and pyro being faster.
I guess they have similar roles but i've never thought "Wow! so many pyros better go heavy." or you know vice versa

I'm sure they'll have a way to explain it. Probably a comic, or even a short.
What worries me more is the one-sidedness of it.
Because, the two things that are most likely to stop me when playing as a Pyro are either
A) a Sentry, or
B) a Heavy.
So unless it's a special kind of war, we're in for a Pyro bloodbath here.
It's also refreshing -- in Valve's fashion, not be about your typical match ups

I get the impression that Valve had originally intended for them to have a strong dynamic in game, where Pyros are great at ambushing Heavies but if you get caught off guard as a Pyro, heavy outranges you. For example there's the Makin' Bacon achievement, which has you kill 50 heavies with the flamethrower. I feel like that's supposed to be encouraging this. However, Pyro and Heavy have both built up a lot of design quirks that have kind of killed this dynamic. Maybe the balance changes will encourage a Pyro/Heavy dynamic.
Should we expect the day 2 Early or mid-late day tomorrow?

In the meet your match it look like there is like a victory dance or something.

Late-day Tomorrow. Enjoy the game we have currently as it's the last time you'll be able to enjoy the current TF2
The Pyro and the Heavy are both blu. Probably just an error when Valve made the image though.

I believe the next page will come early morning tomorrow. ~9-10 PST, and the update soon after, around 12-3.

I know it's tomorrow I meant what time of day tomorrow
Just thought of something, if this is the "Heavy vs Pyro Campaign" then that would fit the campaigning of elections.
My theory is the war will be two different sets of contracts you can choose between
just add literally everything svdl has ever made for this game

Probably around 11/12 ESt as that's when this blog post came out. You know, a full day.

I guess it will be the right time to release the Pilot Flamethrower that has been sitting on the game files since ages.

"Look at hands. These are big hands. Pyro has tiny baby hands. Vote for Heavy."
I just woke up. I'm so overwhelmed :scream:
A Heavy vs Pyro update? Man, i would love seeing new stuff for both, that got me super excited
Can we please try to stop with the Trump-posting? The jokes are stale and I don't like being reminded of my country's grim future.

ah fuck it's not going to be like CS:GO operations where you have to pay $6 to participate is it?

They already have a 9.99 paywall for non-phone users having a 5.99 paywall too would be a bit too much. Not to mention a free event would be perfect marketing, as they are aiming for new players here.
