OH THANK GOD. Time to burn >

 

[SpetzNaz]

Perhaps I will enjoy burning things as much as stabbing things.

Time shall tell.

 

[Midway]

I have always enjoyed the Pyro prior to the update, and now it's even better.

 

[Titan]

OH #$*@ YES! *runs to download and jump on*

 

[Eire.32]

Eire.32

 

[=(eGO)= Mitcha]

[blackhawksniper]

I love being pryo now

 

[Eire.32]

Eire.32

 

[Carsonauto]

Hahaha, oh valve...

Its a litttlleee bit overpowered now, and the demoman is a wee bit under-powered XD

I was just playing with all the EGO guys last night, and almost my entire team was pyros XD

 

[Two Listen]

I think the popularity of pyros will tone down once people have tested the update. Last night we started out with a team of at least 6 pyros, within twenty minutes it cleared out to one or two.

I am very frustrated about the demoman grenades though. They should have lowered the damage of the grenades, not changed the way they explode.

 

[Munch]

gotta love pyro, and did they increase their run speed too?

 

[Wal-Mart Security]

It makes me love the Pyro EVEN MORE now!!!!!!!!

 

[Blazing Heat]

Oh god no, the pain the pain!

 

[MorbidEwok]

Oh yeah.... FINALLY. I'm gunna start playing Pyro a bit more now.

 

[†.ℓ.Ň. {RD}]

BURN IT
BURN IT ALL

 

[blackhawksniper]

PYRO IS CHEAP!


I was 450 hp as hvy with a medic healing me. Turned a corner to meet a pyro at first range. He killed me before I could get him down to 1/2 health. My minigun was already spinning also. Mind you, I had a medic healing me.

 

[Carsonauto]

Yeah, they bumped up pyro a littlleee too much.

 

[gruber]

The pyro needs to be amped a little

MADNESS!

I was just playing a round of hydro, and with entire teams of pyros and medics, it was a fast rush to see who won. Not a lot of fun
