TF2 Pyromania update

Jagos · 06-25-2012, 10:21 AM

Day one gives us New achievements as well as the anticipation of going to fight a new map.

Further, I'd love to know what's up with the lint and banana peels dropping?

All the information about the peels and stuff can be found on the TF2 Wiki's ARG page, but so far (and cutting a long story short) the banana peels reveal this image, a transcript of Hale's court case regarding Poopy Joe the monkey.

Also interesting is that Valve are apparently doing something with Adult Swim, though it's possibly not related to this update.

EDIT: The rest of that transcript has been revealed through a hidden link. Most of it blanked out, arghs!

Poor Soldier...

Doomsday sounds like an unholy fusion of Payload Race and CTF. I like.

Those weapons . . .

New flaregun does 15 damage on hit and knockback... on a class that likes to be as close to his opponent as possible. Unless it can do some fancy flarejumping trick or has some other un-noted benefit I'm not really seeing why you would use this. The other weapons look interesting though- as a pyro semi-main I'd love to see a lot of scouts with that new pistol...

Puff n' sting, harass snipers from a distance, drive heavies back to buy time for a retreat.

Knock people off of ledges, drive back an Uber from a distance...

So guys, new Scout Pistol + Sandman.

The new rocket launcher can insta gib sentries.

Well, unless that degree differentiation really screws him over more then I realize, but I think mid-close range, he will be fine.

Also the sniper SMG.....I want to try just going out and mass murdering with that like the KGB.
