Meet the Pyro & Team Fortress 2 Features Near

[Jun 25, 2012, 1:56 pm ET] - Share - Viewing Comments

The Team Fortress 2 Website is now offering day one of Pyromania, which will feature three days of festivities revealing new game features coming to Team Fortress 2. This will culminate in the release of the "Meet the Pyro" video this week and a new version of Valve's multiplayer shooter soon. Today's update reveals new achievements coming to the game, and offers this outline of a new game mode:

Doomsday pits BLU against RED, with only one team getting the honor of transporting a suitcase nuke full of recalled Mann Co. Australium to American monkeynaut Poopy Joe’s rocket, so he can blast off and hunt down Soviet space chimp Vladimir Bananas. It's the same spirit of competitive enterprise that stalled the moon landing by three years when Buzz Aldrin suplexed Neil Armstrong into a pile of folding chairs at Astromania '69! Both teams will attempt to get the necessary fuel up a preposterously slow-moving elevator and into Poopy Joe’s Australium-powered rocket to the stars.

Hahaha come on, in what universe is Spy a newbie class? It is one of the most difficult classes to play effectively and requires a lot of foresight and strategy. Opposition teams are well trained to shoot first on many servers so you have to effectively imitate other players, their routes and know where what class will be when which requires a well rounded understanding of class balance in general. You also need good timing and instinct to pick your goals to best help the team, not to mention a bit of luck. deqer's definition of a newbie class is probably "whichever class usually kills me in something that I think wasn't a fair fight." He probably imagines that spies just walk around cloaked or disguised, killing whoever they want instantly with bacstabs. deqer reminds me of those players in BF3 that accuse everyone who kills them of hacking. I haven't played TF2 for years, is it even worth playing now that it's a F2P hat simulator?
