(cont) And there was still that one guy who kept whining the entire game about how horrible bad pyroes are and how worthless I am and should swap class or GTFO >_>

(cont) It was a team effort of course, but I was the one-man suicide squad who would CC all the bots so the others could easily take them down before they got anywhere. Didn't lose a single CP or wave. (cont)

This is so true. Every 99 out of a 100 pyros I meet. I can scream at them to help me/that guy before I/he burns to death and he will still be dumb, mute and deaf...
Worst of all is how horrible it makes it in MvM for the actual good pyroes. I helped carry a team on manhattan (cont)

I'd say, I love to play as a Phlog pyro with the Manmelter. Basically, crits.

@Riko: Isn't the whole point of pyro's offensive capabilities to WM1?
almost 9 years ago
Welp. It's hard to get any recognition of my dedication to the "good" pyro anywhere, especially in pubs when everyone will blame you for M1'ing even when you do all the small things like extinguishing teammates, reflecting projectiles, whatever. Noone wants to argue about skill regarding the pyro.
almost 9 years ago
@GratLurking, that is true, a pyro can really turn an imminent defeat into a last second last stand ditch.
I just checked and I still cannot understand how old the game is and how strong its still going. 2007, baby! And before that...TF1... ahh those days.

@Talyn: Credit to where it's due, MVM is probably perfect for learning how to use Airblast creatively, both for projectile reflects (mainly to due to how many rockets/bombs/arrows fly at you at once) and how to knock stuff off the level.
almost 9 years ago
As a rare PvP player and a fairly dedicated MvM player... Airblast DOMINATES.

Nothing like making the bomb carrier run half the level again with a well placed M2

I'm still a good pyro, when I see people on fire, I put them out, if I see uber coming at team, I push them into the air or away, so they waste their uber... I'm a good pyro, right?
Only did it once, reflecting an arrow back in the face of a sniper... best night of my life.

I was a good pyro :D extinguish, reflect grenade, rocket AND arrows... had more headshot as pyro than sniper ¬_¬ But yeah, it was before the F2P. Now I don't know what I could do with it

CONT really need higher character limit. Pyro is really stronk against a lot of things, if you can reflect and flank. but learning class takes time, and ppl quit to spam rocket that gets them killstreaks. I never scoreboard, but I'm airblasting ppl and stopping uberpushes, and that's credit to team.

My preferred pyro loadout is stock, reserve shooter, and powerjack for roaming and neon/homewrecker for pybro. I just dont like the flare guns much, except for the det on certain maps to flank. Can't use the phlog; gotta have that reflect. Good airblast skills r hard to get, few have time 2 practice

@J.c. Bengtson: Tends to be how I usually run Pyro on myself too, usually with either Homewrecker or the good ol' Backscratcher and sticking to ambush points and watching Engie Nests.

.. but more importantly, I help my teammates out, especially those on defense (which is typically an Engineer or two).
almost 9 years ago
I need to play TF2 with you sometime then. Besides Medic & Engie, I often play Pyro and my main setup is a "help the Engineer" set. Degreaser for quick switching, Scorch Shot for annoying people who stay at range or around corners and a Maul for killing Sappers. I do less damage with these weapons..
almost 9 years ago
Pressing the Medic button while on fire and looking at a Pyro or someone with Jarate/Mad Milk should have them say "put me out!"

Pyros? Using their Air Blast? You must be joking.

(cont.) And the fact that the third immortality machine was constructed on the day of his death. Abraham Lincoln was also the original Pyro. Radigan could've definitely used the machine on himself and took up the moniker of the Pyro as an extension of his fanboyism.
almost 9 years ago
The Pyro is pretty obviously Radigan Conagher. Think about it; Pyro is definitely an engineer, as he became CEO of an engineering firm in "Ring of Fired." Radigan Conagher was obsessed with Abraham Lincoln, as shown by his anti-John Wilkes Booth machines in the background of the Engineer update

in fact pyro is not a girl according to game theorist and he's having some good proof of that. (here's the video) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gA_24zLyKdI

I consider myself more of a 'average' Pyro when it comes to classes I'm good at (though when it comes to MVM I'm a pretty awesome scout). I tend to be bad at airblasting and flare aim not for lack of trying, though then again I also use my Backburner and Strange Shotgun for this reason.

@META_mahn: Don't feel bad or anything about what you play. People who generally say that a pyro who focuses on killing people with fire is a bad player are usually the types who just failed at killing one with the phlognifedtvjor or something.
almost 9 years ago
Now I feel more like a pub noob who all he plays is just the trolliest types like fat scout and shit. :c

@Shadow12000: Oh for the love of damn well everything, the Game Theorists' word is not official! I really wish people would stop acting like their word is law.

Hang on. There are pyros who don't use the alt-fire? I forsook the Phlogistinator purely because it lacks an airblast!
almost 9 years ago
Jo, please, the Pyro's gender/sex figured out by Game Theorists years ago. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gA_24zLyKdI It's a guy, but he isn't gonna be liking Angie...
almost 9 years ago
Now I feel motivated to play pyro.
almost 9 years ago
So when are you going to invite the Pyro, Sniper, Scout,and Medic girl join the house?

I know medic girl is still a kid she deserves a shot too. Sniper you've designed long ago, It'd be nice to see her again. And I don't think you ever made Scout-tan.

Also whatever happen to that second Engie?
almost 9 years ago
I am oddly disappointed that you still give a crap, even after all these years.
Hell, I'm disappointed that _I_ care -I haven't played TF2 in years and I don't miss it.
People who play Pyros suck? Great.
Go fuck yourself?
Hats for everybody. Woo.

This will not work on the Pyro if Game Theory is right that he is a gay man. But it is just a theory, so who knows.

i think Angie is prolly refering to herself in the past

Well i mean... if pyro is a girl it still would be required for us NerfNow fan to see her satisfy angie... Just saying.
almost 9 years ago
Huh, for some reason I'm almost tempted to give my precious vintage back burner puffs to engies. I think I'll still focus on saving power classes and the sentry gun though. I could be bribed otherwise... (rolling with a sapper destroying melee isn't enough any more?)
almost 9 years ago
Though, when you do run into a good pyro... quite scary.
