ENJOY!

And I LOVE the new pyro weapons

 

[Dooda]

yes new guns looks nice.I'm very curious on the new maps!

 

[Carne]

Wohoooooooooo

 

[Captain Calle]

Yes

YES! Exactly what I wanted... well, not really but it will make me play pyro for sure! Maybe I'm not going to stop playing TF2 too soon......

Can't they just give us the guns, have to jump through all these hoops that are somewhat ridiculous and people will cheat anyway to get the upgrades.

"OMGWTFBBQ: Kill an enemy with a taunt."

Is it even possible to kill an enemy with the pyros shotgun taunt?

 

[Glorious]

The compression gas looks pretty cool. Wonder if it can be used as a jump?

 

[Toasteddude]

On the whole, these pyro achievements look a lot easier to obtain than the medic achievements. I guess I'll take a shot at getting some of them, but after the hype dies down. And now I am really interested in seeing the shotgun taung hurt someone.

 

[Freeflow]

Hahaha.

"Hey you, did you know that if you press F10, you`ll unclock all the achievements?"

Im going to take pleasure in gunning and blowing up all the silly Pyros who think they can axe me in a rocket fight.

Oooh, the gauntlet has been cast....

I'm really digging the new flamethrower. I LOVE to play ambush pyro! And I'll second Carne's comment: You can kill someone with the shotgun taunt? I wasn't at all aware of that...

 

[Captain Calle]

Noooo

The pyro can't kill you with the shotty taunt... yet. He is going to be able to do that soon though!

-Calle

 

[Beta]

wow these achievements are a bit random

Fire and Forget: Kill 15 players while you're dead.
Dead Heat: Kill an enemy in the same second that he kills you.

and shouldnt everyone who got this achievement in the medic pack get this one?

Pyrotechnics: Kill 3 enemies in a single uber-charge.

 

[Arghh]

They new weapons look sweet! As a career pyro, I am most excited about the ability to push back projectiles. On maps with a pinch point its almost impossible to get past the non stop demo/soldier spam.

The 100% crit from behind is going to be OP IMHO. That will just be godly and by far the most kills for me come from flanking cause every class can own you from the front once they see you.

Arghh

Actually, no. The Medic achievement only required you to burn them. This one, you actually have to finish the job.

Oh yeah, a few of us played fastlane on a road trip. Who remembers that? :

 

[DNice77]

it would be nice if the medic and pyro achievements unlocked the weapons with fewer achievements, so that you don't need an achievements server for some of the more difficult achievements

 

[BR47]

The new weapons are nice...but what I'm really looking forward to is the alt fire on the flamethrower. If it works on stickies and we can clear a hallway for a charge...oman that's gonna be sick.

 

[Tazraz01]

All I'm going to say is prepare to be burnnnnnned by tazraz

 

[Zopy]

Woot!

But how does a spy flick his cigarrette?

And I knew Pyromancer would require 1,000,000 damage!

Im just glad I'm not interested in the Axtinguisher.

EDIT: I really dont like the design of the axtinguisher, how is a rusty axe wrapped in barbed wire going to do extra damage to the enemy on fire, and less to the enemy not on fire? I mean, I like TF2's silliness, but this is a little too unexplainable.
