CS-Nation:What is the next class set to receive new unlocks and achievements?
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.
Any questions?

Pyro is a she? OMFGWTFBBQKNNLOLROFLMFAO!?!?!? plz confirm for me
Prawninator
Jun 19 2008, 04:03 PM
I don't think there's a way to confirm it, actually... It could just be a ploy to keep players wondering about the Pyro's true gender. Perhaps the article's use of the word "her" is like describing a ship.
Or a country.
HALLER!

the pyro has a pink handbag. not surprised

Either pink or light blue. With pretty flowers

HOWEVER...
There's always room for doubt, such as follows.

Pyro is a he ... or a she... we dunno.
Maybe the Pyro is:
1.) Effeminate man
2.) Effeminate and homosexual man
3.) A woman
I can see his/her purse there in the shelf... and I'm wondering...

Actually none of the download strain the server since they are redirected to bolehvpn's http site.

Guys, here's an achievement map for the Pyro update. Water, intel, CP, ammo packs, should be pretty useful for the farming session. I would suggest for this map to be temporarily added to the server.

OK, guys. I'm going to make LYN++ it's own custom map. =) Tell me some of your favorite map features or ideas and maybe I'll try to work them in. This could take a while, though. Don't expect results too soon since I'm still learning the ropes. Haha.

Are you working on that with a map editor or Garry's Mod, Lodey?
Also, how about a Payload Rollercoaster?
Hive
Jun 19 2008, 06:18 PM
1. Your map has to have a theme.
2. Personally prefer cp maps
3. Multiple entry points to a CP to a max of 3
4. At least 2 storey buildings

Yup, also adding to the fact that (IMO) the pyro achievements are easier than medic's. Hopefully allen will come by this and have Reuben add it since he's the organizer for the farming sessions.

I think Ghetto is more suited for Half-Life.

Don't poo-poo it right away, Prawn. Subang Parade makes for an interesting map. It has multiple levels and walkways in various places. It would be very hard to make, though... At least, with my current level of skill.

The walkways that lead to odd places are definitely a great challenge. You could try a Sunway one too, the layout seems a lot simpler to build, and CsG could probably help in the design process considering he works there
