Pyro

* Added alt-fire compression blast to the basic flamethrower
* Added The Axtinguisher, The Backburner, and The Flare Gun
* Hadouken taunt now kills people it hits
* Tuned the flamethrower hit detection to improve detection versus retreating opponents
* Removed Flamethrower's damage falloff (was falling off to 25% by the end)

First let me say I know I"m not the first to post about this update, but I wanted to post a short and sweet version.

Holy CRAP!!! You can now kill people with the fireball taunt...that is freakin' awesome...

Guess someone took that you tube video to heart!!!

Also is awesome they added a secondary fire for the main pyro weapon...I have not played it yet, but the updates sound neat...

Post your comments as to what you have seen thus far if you have played it...and don't cry about the achievements please...don't want another Medic relapse...

Oh and Soldier's got owned with this:

Removed Soldier's 40% damage reduction from his own rockets. Does not affect rocket jumps

Just wonder how the game is going to tell if it's a rocket jump or a dude shooting at the ground at an enemy...

All I know is I used the secondary fire on the flame thrower at a Soldier and his Medic. I curved his uber rocket back at 'em and killed them both. It's the revenge towards all those rocket deaths I always wanted.

Needless to say I'm happy.

I can see that Haduken becoming the sly Pyro's superweapon...

For those interested, I'm going to be up late tonight earning the achievements. Please join me on the servers for achievement farming. ^_^

The ability to flip rockets back, is helpful, and makes the pyro valid again... They are now playable and fun... That is all.
