Not myself, but I've seen quite a lot of them around Lincolnshire.

Flare gun works a treat too, but my aiming isn't one hundred percent with it after an airblast yet.
Coolio. Although, I prefer to use a Shotgun- better to use when you're up against opposing Pyros or need to finish off a nearby enemy quickly.

Good. Backburners are almost as annoying as the pomson.

Degreasers better imo though.
I'm not so certain- for me, the most annoying Non-Spy weapon is the Tomislav. Instant firing and nullified Pyro as an Ambush class, as they could immediately turn around and kill you before you'd even damaged them.
It's more reasonable since the nerf, though.
 
 
And yes- I'm more one who tends to kill with fire at the moment, but I've seen what people can do with it and an Axtinguisher, so I might give it a try.

Nope, I use a regular Flamethrower now. More Airblasting and random crits you see, which always come in handy.

Indeed. I should probably retire to a spiritual life in the mountains to ease my trauma.


You won't be able to

So, Fancy Fedora or Private Eye?
Fancy Fedora. Team colours, matches the suit, looks cool, inexpensive, silk lining, what's not to like?

Gentlemen, allow me to give my opinion. I've been playing TF2 for literally only a few weeks, but I think I've now gotten the feel for the game and so can give a balanced opinion.

I started out playing those character I really wanted to play as before I got the game, due to public opinion (kind of) and who had the most awesome gameplay. These were Pyro, Demoman, Heavy and Medic. I had a go with these classes first and I never managed to enjoy the game or get any success. Pyro was essentially OP at close range (which it should be, no complaints), it's just that I could never time my ambushes correctly and gain the element of surprise. Demoman, out of at least 30 minutes straight gameplay I got a total of 5-10 kills, it was hopeless. Heavy... well, I'll put it like this. Every time I came into the open, either a Sniper would disintegrate my face or a Spy would backstab me. No fun. Medic was far worse, the longest I lasted in a single life was clocked at about 2-3 minutes, it was tantamount to rape and it made me want to throw my copy of the orange box into the bin.

But then I stopped, and played the other characters, and when I played as Spy, oh SWEET MUTHA OF JESUS it was so much fun. The most fun I've ever had playing any computer game. It just felt so rewarding. It's difficult and requires a lot of patience and a quick wit, but it's worth it when I stab a stupid Pyro in the back and steal his identity (Your Eternal Reward).

TL;DR? I'm very sorry GF, but we have to agree to disagree. Until I get the hang of Pyro, I'm staying as Spy.
It's all about practice and perserverance when learning how to play with classes you're not used to. I start out with the offline practise mode, and then I move onto online play, practising how to use weapons and things, get kills, and utilise all their abilities to the full. It's paying off for me so far, as you'll see in the last bit.
 
Oh, and don't get me started on the Eternal Reward. So bloody annoying.

On that TL;DR bit, Pyro's not the only class I play as, you know- I also main Demoman and Medic, and sometimes go Engineer and Scout, too. Soldier and Heavy are too slow, Sniper's too fiddly most of the time, and I don't go Spy for obvious reasons, unless it's to go Spycrab.
I do have a nice hat for him (A Fancy Fedora, just in case you're wondering), though.
 
 
EDIT: I also hate camping Vagineers on 2fort, makes me sick.

Guys, if you think about it, Spies are situational as heck.
Its just the fact those situations are easy to run into into.
Which come to think of it, in turn makes it more satisfying when I catch them out. And even more so when they scream in agony as I immolate and hack them to death with my Axe  >:D

Also GF stop whining about Spies. They're meant to be in TF2 and they will always be.
Whining.
 
I am not whining. I am complaining.

Site News and Feedback / Re: Warning for foul language in main forum.
« on: August 03, 2012, 10:53:01 AM »
It's just something that sort of happens here, John.
Camsy really doesn't like swearing in the Main Forum (It's alright in the Junkyard, however), so he cracks down on it very very harshly- I should know, I've fallen victim to it myself a few times- sometimes even been warned as high as 75% for one utterance of a word.

However, 15% is low, and the warnings gradually go down by themselves over a few days. So as long as you don't swear again during that time, it'll be gone faster than you'd think. Hope this helps   :approve:
