Meet the Pyro will debut some night on Adult Swim probably, but there's likely more to it than that

Toonami would seem like a good time.

Is that based on the frequency of the updates or something?

I am so ridiculously excited for this Valve/Adult Swim thing. Two of my favorite things that I never expected to work together... and it seems awesome.

That site predicted the blog post from yesterday pretty well actually. Its best to keep an eye on it.

According to Reddit, the pyro's text is morse code for "Monday."

The link in the first post and the second post say the same thing!
I think we're on to something here.

Can't help but feel that first day doesn't describe the game mode very well. Oh well, guess we'll see in just a few days.

click on the banana on the bottom of the pyromania page

Yeah I have no idea what that game mode is supposed to be. Seems like a CTF where you carry your "flag" aka australium into a central point.

It sounds like a mix of CTF like foolmo said but with some kind of Payload Race element as well

Yeah, it sounded like Payload Race to me.

Actually, I think it sounds like it might be kind of KOTH race. Kind of like, just the last part of Hightower, with the slow moving elevators. That part of the map kind of sucks balls, so hopefully this'll be better.

It's not hard to figure out TF2's economy system.

Everything is based around refined, keys, and at higher levels, buds.
Hell there's even a cheat sheet somewhere someone made of all the average values of every item. On a side note, someone somewhere pointed out.

This guy is basically heavy weapons guy.

It's not hard to figure it out, but that guy is doing some pretty cool analysis. Like he shows that buds are increasing in value way faster than bill's. I guess most traders already knew that, but it was new to me.

If you're talking about what I'm thinking you're talking about, that's basically just one guy/group of people going out and setting a price for everything based on their experiences. I'm sure their estimates are a hell of a lot better than anything I could come up with, but it's a far cry from actually having full and accurate data about what everyone is actually doing.

Unless someone figured out how to get access to Valve's database that the economist is using to do the math, in which case eh.

Feel like that scattergun has alot of potential despite the massive drop in damage.
edit: nevermind, those other effects are pretty hindering.

triple shot rocket launcher

I'm not sure how I feel about this

(I'm also not sure I understand how that sniper rifle works)

The sniper really didn't need another gun that's inferior to the one he already has/Machina.

Although it's nice to see the SMG getting some attention. If it carries over from other weapon kills, Huntsman's delight.

Bazaar Bargain isn't inferior to stock either provided you can hit most of your shots (something I can no longer do, granted)

Honestly it'll be tough to say how much better/worse it is until we find out how Focus works.

it says right there, once the focus meter fills up it puts you "In Focus" which gives you faster charge and no unscope

I don't think that Sniper Rifle is in any way inferior to the Machina. Unless you're just body shotting all day.

Personally anytime I see that tracer round I know where my Scout/Spy/Jumping Soldier or Demo is headed next.

I'll reserve judgement until I get to use them of course but the Pistol looks like it has utility, not sure I'd dump my Milk for it. I don't think I'm a fan of the Scout Primary though. Being slowed to start with seems pretty detrimental.

Wow. These weapons all seem kind of crappy or unnecessary. Except maybe the Rocket Launcher, but did we need another one fo those?

From: WazzupGenius00 | #039

When I say "works", I mean how well it works out. (Also whether it means no unscope while reloading, or no unscoping until your Focus runs out, both of which have been suggested)

The new pistol is obviously decent.

I dunno the fire damage vulnerability is alot worse than it seems.

It means the pyro basically has to just touch him with the flamethrower and unless you can put out the fire you're done.

The fire vulnerability really won't hurt it much. If you're a good Scout you should be able to avoid Pyro's and their fire head on, and if they catch you off guard, you're probably dead anyway.

I was wondering why they're all getting MORE stuff than Pyro.

Unless there's more to come.

Yeah, because (going off that post you made on the TF2 Boards) you aren't forced to use a s***y primary and neutral melee along side it to get the health bonus.
