Its been awhile for a tf2 but valve has shed some fresh news

QUOTE
We've almost completely wrapped up the next big release for Team Fortress 2, which will focus on the Pyro class, along with the Meet the Sniper movie. We've spent time looking at how the recent Medic release went, and have rolled feedback from that release into the new item designs for the Pyro and into the design of the achievements required to unlock those items. One item, shown here in concept form, will be the Axtinguisher. Although it does about half of normal damage to standard run-of-the-mill non-burning enemies, once you light someone on fire the Axtinguisher will guarantee a critical hit.

Along with all of the new content, we're also going to be making some significant changes to the Pyro class for everyone, regardless of whether they have unlocked any new items.

The Axtinguisher is gonna be seriously cool in terms of gameplay. But i'm guessing we're gonna have to grind for achievements again...
plankton
servers will start to fill with pyro's when this is out smile.gif

btw, quick question on TF2, if you melee an enemy from behind (non-spy classes), is it also counted as a backstab/one hit kill?
yu_wang
nah, only spy can do that. But all melee weapons still have critical hit chance, regardless of direction.
plankton
alrightey then biggrin.gif thnx for the info

I dunno what could be the loadout for the first 2 weapons. Either that, they could be the Incendiary Cannon from the TFC, and maybe an automatic Tommy gun for the shotgun. I could be wrong here. laugh.gif

If they really come out with the cannon... I bet those things can clear the sniper nest at long range... hahah! biggrin.gif

Valve today announced a set of new releases for Team Fortress 2, the title named Multiplayer Game of the Year by PC Gamer and Gamespy.com.

The main event of the week is the Pyro Update, which will be made available this Thursday and contains three unlockable new weapons for the Pyro plus 35 new achievements. In addition, two user-created maps are included to highlight the great work being done in the community and distribute those works to all TF2 players..

Meanwhile as folks wait for the Pyro Update to be released, the latest in the "Meet the Team" video shorts, "Meet the Sniper," will be made available tomorrow (Tuesday, June 17) at 11 am PDT along with a web site dedicated to the Pyro update.

Finally, to give everyone a chance to try the new weapons and community maps, Valve will hold another Team Fortress 2 Free Weekend via Steam beginning this Friday at 11 am PDT.

Haha - the thing is - there'll be an influx of new pyros inside and they are torching the whole map!!! biggrin.gif

Well, the Pyro's one of my fave class, so I'll still play the game as usual. But I really like the axe, I like swinging that thing... whistling.gif

I really hope that the 1st loadout is an incendiary cannon... lol! biggrin.gif

I guess the 2nd Achievement confirms that the new Pyro weapon in the Meet the Sniper video is a Flare Gun. Perhaps the 22nd Achievement means that the Flare Gun can also be used as a decoy for rockets? That would really be an awesome lifesaving feature to avoid rocket spamming.

As a rocket decoy, it could also be used as a defensive measure. Imagine this scenario: 3-4 soldiers aim rockets at a sentry, but a couple flare guns deployed at the right time would act as decoys, preventing the Sentry Gun from being blown up.
frags
Yeah so details of the new weapons are out...and we are getting two new maps( i knew it)...not entirely new...user made maps...but new for most of us.

http://www.steampowered.com/pyro/?pw=presspreview

PS : I've had a look at the new weapons and...i think there will be a lot of pyros. The changes to the pyros is more pronounced than what they did for the medic. rclxub.gif

Walker: The Pyro is the focus on the next pack. We're making some significant changes to the base Pyro class & weaponry, in addition to the three unlockables and thirty-five achievements. We've never been terribly happy with the Pyro, in particular with her shallower skill curve than other combat classes. We really want highly skilled Pyros to be visibly more effective than the average Pyro, and the new features are designed to address that.

The best upgrade for the Pyro is the good ol flame thrower, which now can DEFLECT incoming projectiles and enemy heal ray with 2nd fire button.

DEFLECT incoming rockets projectiles and enemy heal ray!

that info worth repeat.


hmm... gonna have to rewrite my pyro script now..

if the game is made by men & played by men there is no way she will ever not be sexy. Unless some aweful biatch took over Valve and impose strict feminism on all its products.

My guess is she'll have a pair as big as a baby whales! thumbup.gif Those baggy fire retardant suits will hide anything one lah!
And she'll be prancing around with a flame thrower strap on her sexy hairless back.

Yeah, could be this one.

I imagine... a fierce, fiery temprement lady in baggy suit? With no more questions asked for her? hehe... biggrin.gif

Or a mentally-disturbed, traumatized, female pyromaniac? Could be that one! biggrin.gif

IT IS WORTH IT - just...don't come this weekend expecting to have a normal game...'cause it'll be flooded by flames due to the update tongue.gif

The community is active, a competition recently just went by. Singapore has lots of players too. There's also Aussie servers to play with reasonable pings.

Sure. Basically like so,

Script for changeing CFG while mid-game & in the spawn area. Press M and keypad numbers which corresponds to the classes. Needs to be name autoexec.cfg
» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «


Pyro Script(pyro.cfg): to atcivate its keypad 3 I think. I have G9 mouse so I can assign many more buttons. In summary,
Mouse1: Attack.
Mouse2: Switch to shotgun
Scroll up: Scroll between flame thrower & shot gun
Scroll down: Melee weapon
Tilt Left Scroll (assign to K): voice + Melee weapon ; so pyro will say something funny when she takes out the axe
Tilt Right Scroll (assign to H): Flame thrower
Spacebar: Jump + Duck (High Jumps)
Thumb1: letter O: Attack 2 (just added cause pyro used to dont have attack2, she will with the new update)
Thumb2: Mic
S: go backwards as well as reloading

&

various other voice commands.

PS: lot of redundant commands. I know.

The disc is for you to install by the way

After that it updates itself to the latest tf2 version


Downloading the game itself is a good feature that enables you to install it without the cd

If you are gonna buy the stand-alone TF2..then it is RM 87

Orange Box? RM165
Mr_Hulk
For TF2, if you want cheaper, you can get it for 19.90USD=RM65 through Steam. But you have to download and maybe take a while to finish it. Payment can be pay by paypal (some lowyat.net member at garage sale sell paypal sevice).
