range of pyro flamethrower

[Vainiac]

Stumbled across this video today, it appears that the actual range of the pyro's flamethrower is much more than what it appears.

I never realized this before, whenever I got lit on fire when I was out of range I thought it was just because of latency issues. Did anyone here ever realize this?

wow, that's weird

 

[Super88]

Wow thats kind of dumb...

I feel like they did a change to the range in one of the patches but I forget, maybe they messed up a little?

I thought it seemed pretty far. Thats ok, its good how it is.

According to the TF2 wiki the range of a pyros flamethrower is 6ft/2m.

man that sucks! they should update it!

 

[DEMODER]

Yes they should, the range on the flamethrower is ridiculously long.

 

[koolaid]

yeah they should make it shorter range

 

[Beta]

its pretty short in FF, i like long distance flame

 

[Noobkiller]

meh this is like the medic's uber/bone saw melee range its really a glitch in valves programming. Your model is actually in range in the person firing/melee-ing eyes. I'm not sure if the same concept applys

That just needs to be fixed... much too far.

 

[FreakingHell]

Yep, this is what i don't like TF2. Just about the only thing though. I also hate how when the game ends, the losing team cowers in the corner until they're found and slaughtered. It's pretty cruel, isn't losing enough?

hmmmm.. i wonder if the video is legit

 

[fools russian]

ya I hate glitches like that. makes it frustrating when you get killed because of them. there are a lot of sniper headshot glitches too imo, and of course the facestabbs.

hmmmm.. i wonder if the video is legit

As a pyro, i've flamed people from that far before. It all depends on how how accurate your aim is..

same with the bonesaw/ubersaw. I'm ubersawed all the time from outrageous distances (and it isn't lag.)
