Newgrounds.com — Everything, By Everyone.

Okay I've preloaded the game. Took all freaking day.

Now it's saying I have to purchase the game to unlock it. I thought the free weekend started Thursday? Any help here?

It will probably unlock when the update comes.

Erm, when is it then?

Maybe the sniper could stab an enemy with it for close-range combat along with long-range combat for shooting an arrow

I use the backburner (it forces me to try get behind opponents rather than just holding W) but when I used to use the old flamethrower the compression blast was my biggest friend :3 Why die when you can throw the enemy away then leg it?

Well I use the backburner because really only noob pyros use the blast if there gonna die.

My Pyro strategy: Flamethrower, Shotgun, Axtinguisher (sometimes Fire Axe if I am feeling risky and dangerous)

-Ignite, blast, Axtinguish. Classic combo that works wonders for those who can use it.
-Ignite, blast, blast, Shotgun. Piss them off with juggles while they burn, then frag their airborn pinatas for 2 or 3 easy shots.
-Ignite, blast, Shotgun cornering. Works best when keeping distance from alert Heavies, retreating, or holding off an army of enemies.
-Blast, Shotgun, repeat. What I find to be the best way to deal with rival W+M1 Pyros. Works well with Fire Axe too.

Backburner is a lot more situational to me than the airblast, so I rarely, though not never, prefer it. Flare Gun can be very useful on defense, although I prefer the more direct killing power of the Shotgun, especially against Scouts, Heavies, and Pyros.

I use the Backburner because I always end up attacking someone from behind when I am a Pyro.

I'm just better at a sudden ambush.

I stick with the regular flamethrower. I just find it more reliable. I'm not sure if they both have the same regular damage, but I just use the air blast too much. But something we can all agree on is that the bluntsager is a must have.

I used to use the Backburner all the time, but now I'm sticking with the regular Flamethrower. The compression blast is really helpful. Reflect shit (Soldiers don't expect it most of the time), blast enemies back. I have to agree on the Blutsauger.
Also, Shotgun > Flare gun.

wait,how did this thread go from the sniper/spy update to a discussion about pyro tactics?

LULZ I FOUND SOMETHING SILLY!

Really now, I've always known Spook as a racial term for blacks. The spy has a blacked out face in the picture, and there are 3 K's total.

Now, I'm not one of those crazies who thinks RE5 was purposefully trying to be racist, and I don't think Valve are either, but come on. This is one of those things that could easily get out of hand, I don't see how they didn't notice this.

Lmao TF2 racism, the demoman better watch out.

Wait I minute I got it! Kojima's announcement here http://www.konami.jp/kojima_pro/next/ is the release. Wow Valve is very sneaky, but I cracked they case.

Wow, look at the TF2 forums, everyone is throwing a huge fucking whiny fit because they think Jarate is immature and will ruin TF2 as we know it. Most of them can't put up good arguments, and don't want their "super hardcore mlg pro noobpwner" image to be tarnished by throwing piss at people.

Steam forums bitching everywhere about updates ?

Tell me something I don't know about.

If I could give a short resume of what steam forum is I would say: Bitching

And when you tell them to stop bitching mods ban you.

Heh.

any chance of this update bleeding onto the 360?

Microsoft is too much of a moneywhore to allow this to be free so them and VALVe had a disagreement and VALVe said if it wasnt free,FUCK IT

As of matter of fact, no. They never said they had stopped working on it.

Moron.

Nope! Lack of Memory space is the XBox's problem. That's why there haven't been many updates.

Not your XBox's problem, but the way it utilises it, I think.

Anyway. Should be here in under a hour. Sadly, us Brits will be asleep by then, so we'll get the worst of the spam - n00bs with new weapons, achievement whoring running around as spys, while the pros go sniper to snipe other snipers and the n00bs. I'll be sticking to the sewers in 2Fort, methinks. Top is too dangerous, and n00b spies will walk into players, and won't attempt to shoot, waiting for backstab opportunities.

PYROS UNITE!!!
