VideoGamer.com
has word from Gearbox Software on plans for a
Brothers In Arms: Hell's
Highway demo (thanks
Gamer's Hell). The game is currently expected this August
(
story), but Gearbox president Randy Pitchford is not sure if the
demo will be released before or after the game:
Yeah we do have plans for
a demo. We haven't actually specifically decided which thing, which bit of the
gameplay we're going to put in the demo yet. We're going to do it. I don't know
if it will come out before the launch or not. It might not, it might come after.
We'll see. But we're going to give a demo, because there are some people who
really want to check things out before they buy.
This week's
Steam
Marketing message outlines the changes planned for the Pyro class in
Team
Fortress 2 in an upcoming update:
We've almost completely wrapped up
the next big release for Team Fortress 2, which will focus on the Pyro class,
along with the Meet the Sniper movie. We've spent time looking at how the recent
Medic release went, and have rolled feedback from that release into the new item
designs for the Pyro and into the design of the achievements required to unlock
those items. One item, shown here in concept form, will be the Axtinguisher.
Although it does about half of normal damage to standard run-of-the-mill
non-burning enemies, once you light someone on fire the Axtinguisher will
guarantee a critical hit.
Along with all of the new content, we're also going to be making some
significant changes to the Pyro class for everyone, regardless of whether they
have unlocked any new items.
Oh yeah, they promised heat, and the weather has delivered. It was really cool
this morning too, but that changed surprisingly rapidly. I wish I was watching a
thermometer as the heat wave rolled in: I'm sure I'd have been able to see the
temperature rise right before my eyes.
R.I.P.:
