Title: Pyro preview site (and CC TF2 Game signups)
Post by: SlingshotClock on June 18, 2008, 10:44:45 AM
http://www.steampowered.com/pyro/?pw=presspreview

Lets see, the flamethrower can now REDIRECT PROJECTILES AND MOVE PLAYERS and the new flamethrower provides 50 more health.  Thoughts?

Also, while we are in a TF2 frenzy, we might as well have a game this weekend.  We haven't organized one in a while, and I think it would be nice to help each other get the achievements and some people can play it for free over the weekend on another trial version.  The game will be at 4:00 pm EST on Saturday.  If someone can host a server, that would be great; otherwise, well just meet on an empty server.  It would be great if people RSVP'd beforehand by replying or pm'ing me, so we know who's coming.

I thought so at first, but then I saw the 8th achievement down on the right side:

The flare gun looks sick. It should help get the pyro's range up.

Naw, the shotgun taunt is an instikill, you just need someone to stand still long enough to use it :)

also I'm down for this weekend big time

Wait, is any of this coming to the 360? My PC isn't really up for running any games any time soon.
Title: Pyro preview site
Post by: SoBe Clock on June 19, 2008, 05:08:56 PM
WOOOOOO

I'm definately going to have to get all of these new weapons. The pyro is my favorite class. Using all three of the new weapons will bring him to an all new level of awesome.

I've already done a lot of these things in the achievements before. Shouldn't be too hard to get them all except like 5 of them.

Can't wait for sniper unlockables, whenever century those will pop up.

I got that today, so fucking funny. Snuck up on a medic, he flew a few metres from it.
It might still be useable if you use the moving taunt glitch though, haven't tried it yet but it'd be funny to get a kill streak with taunts.

Also a awesome trick if you find yourself on a low grav server or can switch weapons really quickly.

You can use the pressurization attack (right click) as a pyro so send your opponents flying in the air, when they're in the air you can then either burn them as they come down or attack them with the shotgun/flaregun

I have about 3 or 4. I just play a normal game and hope to collect achievements whilst playing. Picking and focusing on one achievement didn't work for me :c
Title: Pyro preview site
Post by: LambdaClock on June 20, 2008, 05:00:13 PM
getting these are not hard at all I got them all in an hour. Just get one person in a server all by yourself and you're good to go.

Oh wow this is awesome, you can now use the flaregun to that you can catch a heavy from a medium distance and then crit him with the axe when in close range

Shit is SO cash

Post by: Marlin Clock on June 21, 2008, 03:39:35 AM
The flaregun goes far, I've been playing 2fort and it can go from one nest to the other.
Also I got my tf2 back and running, so hopefully I'll be there for tomorrow.
Title: Pyro preview site
Post by: PepperClock on June 21, 2008, 09:47:27 AM
yeah i played for an hour and collected all the weapons. The backburner in my opinion is the worst because.. well i don't know it's just hard to sneak up on enemies with so short range, and it does very little damage to buildings.

also, and although i really didn't use it this time, there is an EXE file you can use to unlock all the pyro achievements too.
Title: Pyro preview site
Post by: Marlin Clock on June 21, 2008, 12:18:02 PM
We should organize this now, because once I get on tf2 I can't get off without waiting another 15 minutes for it to load.

We need a server name

I'm actually quite good at sneaking up as a pyro. It's kinda like being a spy without cloaking ability, although seeing as I haven't unlocked any Pyro weapons yet due to the fact that I still have outstanding medic achievements, I'd have to try it myself.

Also, the fact that the air gun uses 25 ammo per shot is a little ridiculous. Eight shots of that alone will use up your whole ammo gauge, not forgetting that the flames use up enough as is.

Yeah but dude.... reflecting rockets and sending people flying is really worth it. I think I'll stay with the old flamethrower rather than the backburner.

Quote from: Ayumu Kasuga;1340876.

QuoteWe’re looking at bringing the Goldrush and the new achievements and stuff out to the 360…How and when is still sort of being determined, on pricing and that kind of stuff. On the PC it’s sort of wide open, you can release stuff whenever you want. On the console there’s a little bit more of a pathway…So we feel like we’re kind of there now. We’ll probably be making some announcements pretty soon on what will happen with the 360 stuff. I don’t know thatâ€"unfortunately I don’t know that any of that will make it to the PS3.

It was more of a shoot everyone you see game rather than an achievement game.  Most of us already had all the weapons.

And Wind-Up, I don't have a screen shot, but I remember at least these people came: Topcatyo, HueyFreeClock, Tabasco, CorpseGrinder, Sobe, SockPuppet, Floppy, GGindustrialindustries (sorry, don't know who that is) Flux, Vulcan(once again I don't know), Torch, and Notoorjus.  I bet I'm missing a few, so if you were there, just let WindUp know.

By the way, good turnout people.  We pretty much filled the server.  Next time I should try harder to find a server just for the CC.  (maybe even password protected)

EDIT: Marlin, just tell me when and I'll make an effort to help you.

The main problem with evening games in the US is that it is much too late for our European brothers, and we should be considerate for them.  However, If you want to set up CC TF2 game, be my guess to set it up whenever you like, and I'm sure you'll find a group to join you.
