"User" Posted September 2, 2012 Share Posted September 2, 2012 I found this series of informative guides on the various TF2 classes. Let me know what you think. Everyone who plays on the SF-O server should review them at the very least. Scout Soldier Pyro Demoman Heavy Engineer Medic Sniper Spy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vy'drach Posted September 2, 2012 Share Posted September 2, 2012 Backburner is stupid and you should not use it. Son, I am disappoint. It is a situationally amazing sidegrade. Get up behind a group of enemies, and they're all dead before they know what hit them, as opposed to the 1 or 2 from puff-n-sting or normal W+M1. Ain't no other flamethrower gonna do that. And for people that take a little time to think for a second, it encourages proper Pyro play. such as: DON'T: - Charge in headfirst just spraying fire like a madman. - Take routes that don't play to your strengths if you can avoid them. DO: - Take flanking routes that get you behind the enemies and enjoy the sound of "Brrididididididididididididididing" as you are crit flamethrowering six people simultaneously, killing most if not all of them, and especially killing their priority classes such as Medics. - Circle jerk Heavies tricking them into spinning their backs to you when up close and they are aware of you. And the airblast cost increase isn't as big a deal as most people think. You're going to be a roaming Pyro, getting up behind them, which means getting close to them. If you come across a soldier or demo, you can redirect his shot back at him, seriously wounding him, and finish him off with one of your weapons. His rocket launcher is now on the ground, and you can pick it up to restock your fuel. Though I feel the airblast cost should be reduced by 10 so you can get 5 blasts out of a full tank as opposed to 4. Backburner was my bread, butter, and love interest for a long time (replaced by Rainblower as primary Flamethrower), and nothing brought more joy to my face than redirecting a rocket with it only to hear someone say, "Holy shit! Was that a Backburner airblast!?" As if it's some fabled technique handed down generation to generation by ancient, blind Pyros who live in a monastery atop the highest of mountains.
