If you watch carefully the video, the Heavy seems to be walking in mid air, as you can see the field on unzoom. The Heavy was in front of the front handrail according to an obvious depth perception.

If you watch carefully the video, you'll also notice the sniper is talking, driving a car, using a phone, drinking coffee and filling bottles of piss.

That means this weekend the TF2 servers will be flushed with noobs, all playing Pyro.

Yay! Time to bring out the soldier again!

It's 21:00 here (9:00 PM), and still no sign of the Pyro update...

I'm living in timezone GMT+1 (most of Europe).

And still no sign of the Pyro update...

Guess I'll just play on with the Spore Creature Creator then.

There is yet another cool change in this update. Unlike the poor Medic, who had to earn every single one of his often absurd, counter-productive achievements to receive his ultimate unlockable weapon, the Pyro only needs 15, 20 and 25 respectively for his new toys. Since there are thirty-five to choose from, this means people can leave the silly ones alone if they don't fancy grinding them.

If you go into your steam community page and look at the updated pyro achievements, you'll see that the milestones are 10, 15 and 20. This is gonna make it crazy easy to get the unlocks, which is nice.

Find a good private server. Odds are the players there will be more skilled even without the influx of noobs. If you do it right, playing against them will make you a better player so that you can pub around and reap tons of points out of noobs who think that Scout vs Heavy is always a win for the Heavy.

Easier, sure, but there will still surely be some challenge required. I like the balance they've struck: I think it's more true to the core of the game, mostly because it doesn't veritably require farming, which is not, per definition, TF2.

Yeah, the community achievement page just hasn't been updated to include the milestones in their tallies.

Good lord, like I suspected, the whole TF2 metagame is burning...
I have to admit I also chose Pyro, even in servers with 80% of the team already playing the class, but I got bored of it. I think I'll wait untill the Pyro madness cools down a bit before I start to get the achievements.

Already got a few, though. The WTFOMGBBQ can best be gotten with an enemy sniper. The Hadouken is the new backstab!

or alternatively hide around the corner from a locked spawn door and then taunt with 1 second left untill the gates open.

The Backburner is seriously fucked. Pyros don't need the health increase, and the hit detection for "behind" is way out of whack. I don't particularly care about or want it, but I feel like I need it just to be competitive.

Pyro's are meant to hide behind corners to ambush people. Instead, they run around like mad burning people behind the frontlines.
