Team Fortress 2 Goes Into Space With Pyromania Update
 

The folks at Valve are at it again. Another Team Fortress 2 event leading up to a Meet the Team video. This time we're getting Pyromania, to celebrate the release of the ninth and final MtT video, Meet the Pyro. The video will be released in just under 48 hours, but there's more afoot.

As usual, the update is packed with...crazy crap. In this case a space race between the brave American monkey Poopy Joe and the Soviet space chimp Vladimir Bananas.

There are a couple of hints hidden around the page, which are as entertaining as they are mysteriously informative. First and foremost, the new achievements, all of which also center around rocketry and space travel.

I forget which update this was originally from (Soldier/Demoman update?), but it's just as hilarious as it was back then. "TAKE THE LIFE OF FRED ASTAIRE!"

The Pyro is a monkeynaut? (explains why Ghostbear plays him so much...)

Aye, 'tis from the War Update (Soldier/Demo).

Looking forward to the new content :D

What happens when the best game keeps getting better? TF2, that's what happens.

I'm curious to see what the new game mode entails. I'm trying to piece something together looking at the achievements, but to me it seems like a payload style map similar to Hightower, but as an offense vs defense type thing.

Just when I was fucking pissed about lagging out and getting killed by wallet warriors in WoT I see this news and I'm slightly less furious.

First of all, WoT isn't Pay2Win.
Secondly, Coal is better than Propane.
Thirdly, I whip my hair back and fourth.

Taste the meat, not the heat.

It sounds a bit like payload race with the intel instead of kart.

I approve of this update. NOW BURN EVERYTHING!

This is what it sounds like to me. It's been a while since I played, but isn't there a Payload Race map with elevators?

Hemalin 06-25-2012 06:16 PM

Hightower, the only PLR map worth playing.

I just realized. We're going to have to institute Pyro class limits for this Thursday

Ghostbear 06-25-2012 07:47 PM

Yeah, only I can be a pyro.

I'm confused. Didn't the pyro already get his special guns and achievements ages ago? Would I even recognize TF2 anymore?

There should be class limits of three in place for all classes already, unless one of the updates borked it and I haven't noticed.
