Pyro Change?

Postby Algol on Tue Jun 24, 2008 1:26 pm

Has there been a change recently to the Pyro class? Seems like everyone and their mother is running around on a Pyro now, and way more ubar than before.

Yes, there are now some weapons and stuff that you can unlock if you complete the pyro specific achievements. They are planning to do similar things for all the classes.

Also, kinda sucked trying to play a Spy the other night since everyone I ran into was a pyro and did a spycheck.

Figured something was up. Before if they got ahold of you, you could get a good distance away before you were killed by the burn. Now it seems as if they one shot you.

Also noticed someone was shooting globs of fire at me the other day. Had never seen that before either.

Yeah, Pyros are a bit out of control at the moment.

Not sure if it was just the pyros, but the flare guns were nuts. They were almost a one shot.

Also, not sure if it was just on the server we were on the other night, but how in the hell do you get/use the jetpack. Those fuckers were flying all over the damn place.

Pretty sure that jet pack was a server side thing, and you just had to bind your key to its console function. I have no clue how to do that though.

I'm also not sure that server in particular was VAC secure, so people were probably hacking like crazy.

Once I put all those guys on ignore that server was actually pretty fun. I was able to unlock my sniper achievement (grey matter, I think) pretty quickly.

The chatter on that Mario Kart server was awesome. It is the nadir of FPS.

That Mario Kart server is...odd.
