    Before the updates started, with 7 hours as a Spy, I found it essentially impossible to play. Getting double digits in points during an entire map was an accomplishment.

    After the updates, with 10 hours as a Spy, I can hit middle of the scoreboard pretty easily.

    Coincidence?

    We don't like your kind 'round here.

    I think the fact that people think the pyro is overpowered now is a function of the increased number of pyros on the servers, rather than any ability or weapon Valve gave them.

    So why are so many people playing pyro? I think people are seeing greater utility in the class so they're playing it more.

    The puffer is extremely useful in a limited number of situations, but only if you're good with it. The 100% crits takes quite a bit less skill to utilize, and let's face it, you can be afk and still use the extra 50 health. They improved the class in a way that, when you're fighting someone of equal skill who doesn't have the weapon, you'll win every time. Is that not a buff?
    I never said that they didn't buff the pyro, I said it wasn't overpowered. Anyone who's actually good at pyro knows to back off and shotgun other pyros rather than run around in circles trying to flame them before they go down.

    Just because the class is easier to play now than it was before doesn't mean it's overpowered.

    I do think bonus HP is a stupid thing to put on a weapon though, and I wish they'd come up with an alternative for the Backburner that involves a little more skill. For starters they should make it so the crits work properly while strafing and at a wider angle, then maybe the HP wouldn't be necessary.

    Some people were talking about Left 4 Dead during a match a while ago, which inspired me to make a 9th class: The Zombie. He is only as strong as an engineer but can have a greatly quicker respawn time (and respawning closer to battle) using his Gravestone. His purpose is basically to swarm the enemy.

    Meet The Zombie
    stubbs_the_zombie_in_rebel_.jpg

    In life, he was only a lowly salesman peddling shotguns. That all changed after an unfortunate accident during a demonstration.
    At the same time, a few feet away, the budding Medic was horrified to see a man being shot in the face while attempting to twirl a shotgun. Not willing to leave an opportunity to go to waste, the Medic made the Zombie.

    Role: Cannon Fodder
    Health: 100
    Speed: As Engineer

    Weapons:
    Shotgun (Primary)
    Gravestone (Secondary): A Zombie starts with a single Gravestone upon spawning and cannot be replenished with ammo packs or with a dispenser. A Zombie can place down a Gravestone onto the ground, which occupies as much space as a teleporter. The Gravestone has 100 health and can be destroyed by the enemy. The Zombie is notified if his Gravestone is destroyed. When a Zombie is killed when his Gravestone is active, he can opt to respawn again as zombie beside his Gravestone in 5 seconds after death. Doing so skips the normal team respawn queue and he cannot change classes. Respawning in this way does not award a Gravestone to a Zombie.
    Claws (Melee): Like every other melee attack.


    Zombie Fortress >_>

    EDIT: In addition, Gravestones can be sapped.

    Yeah, that would be a problem. Aside from all of that other 'balance' stuff, of course.

    I do want a mod where players can use it, even if it's just a deathmatch. I've heard that people have hacked it in, but has anyone actually made a playable mod with it?

    Put a portal in front of an enemy sentry, and put the other end inside your team's spawn.

    This might not work on multiplayer, but you can have the experience in single-player and think about how awesome it would be if it was multiplayer! Hurrah!

    Download NOW!

    AIRBLASTRAVAGANZA_b1!

    The name sounds 100x more fun than it actually looks, though. It's a bit fun. I still want to play it with a few other people, though. Blarghargh.

    If anyone tests this with other people and the other people aren't forced to be pyros, then this map is BROKEN. Yell at them to go Pyro.

    According to Valve's Dev Wiki, this should work for all players. Will it? I have no idea.

    It would be a totally awesome alternative to the teleport, but with one massive drawback: the enemy can send crit rockets through it

    I still think it would be awesome to force someone into an infinte teleport, get them falling SUPERFAST and then move the portal underneath them.

    Falldamage ftw.

    Capturing points and intelligence will be sooo easy. Have a guy place a portal near them and the spawn point and BAM, instant win. >_<

    You can kill people up-close [as a pyro] as fast as a heavy...

    nitpicking - but according to TF2 Wiki, no

    Heavy - Minigun does 500/sec-550/sec (1050/sec crit) damage

    Pyro - Flamethrower does 200/sec (400/sec crit) damage

    Yeah a heavy can and will annihilate if you can aim well in close quarters. A pyro has the advantage of not needing to aim really, just point in general direction.

    I can make you a version of the map with a trigger in a hard-to-get-to spot that kills everyone on the enemy team or lets you teleport in behind the enemy.

    That'll teach 'em.

    Same map, appears the normal version doesn't work too well with stopwatch mode. The "pro" addition the the map name is nonsense, as with pretty much all maps with "pro" in the name.

    However, that new calzone level is delicious. Do we agree that despite not knowing where shit is it is a fun map? All scouts would make it truly tangy.

    I miss being excellent at Spy. I use to top the charts, and I can occasionally now, but fuck if it isn't difficult with these pyros.

    Spy is a class that grows harder as you play it, not because of your skill, but because the skill of other players rapidly decreases the effectiveness of the spy. I suppose there is a point where you are good enough at spy to fool good players consistently, but I have not yet reached it. Also, spam sucks. Random rocket, grenade, or fire spurt means your end. There is a lot of luck involved. It is still my favorite class, even though I never play it because I get sick of dying so much.

    Honestly, we have no medic on our team. No dedicated medic, I was our soldier but we have 3 soldiers on our team now so I'm stuck either doing up medic or doing up pyro/spy/engy/heavy something iuno.

    Plus junction is fucking god awful and we're so disorganized it's unbelievable.

    Completely different than what happened at cp_badlands.
