I don't know what else they're going to release with this update. No Doubt there are going to be A LOT of new weapons and hats. Thanks to the Steam Workshop we're going to get a huge influx of community made weapons, now it's the weird testing period before all the really OP weapons get nerfed. I still remember when the Ambassador Spy Gun came in and did 126 damage as a Headshot... For a Spy basically making them walking fucking death! It was also ridiculous at the time because the Spy vs. Sniper Update came in and they just gave the Sniper a Backstab blocker but they basically just gave the Spy a secondary backstab with the headshot crit.

if you could aim worth a damn. One in the Head and then just any body shot would've taken out medics from a distance. It basically took 2 - 3 quick shots to kill pretty much any other class that wasn't a Heavy. They dropped it to 120 damage for headshots but even still that was still too much.

Now it's does a petty 102 damage, not nearly as mighty as it once was. Instead they gave us something far worse than the Ambassador. The Enforcer, a Spy Gun that was 20% with the only downside is a half second delay on cloaking watch effects. Which is stupid when you're basically holding a fucking hand cannon.

Yhhhh.... Anyway, It's been a common folk tale around the TF2 internet sub-community that we suspect that the Pyro is actually a girl.



Some "proof" of this claim is the suspicious Purple Purse that is seen in the 2Fort Locker room over the Pyro's suit. Which is still a little speculative because that purple teletubby had a purse... They just played it off that he was gay.



There is also the claim that the Pyro could be the Scouts Mother. The only things really holding this argument up is during the Meet the Spy video Scouts mother is holding a similar purse to that's Pyro's 2Fort purse and that ALL the classes are featured in every Meet video and surprisingly the Pyro was never given any screen time during the Meet the Spy video. Plus the idea of two complete opposite classes like the Pyro and the Spy having a secret relationship seems like something Valve would plan.



Also... The Pyro is the only class with a very Lady like Hat



I guess we'll find out Soon enough, the new Doomsday map is awesome and I'm greatly looking forward to these new Pyro weapons ad achievements.

To round out this post, I remind you all of Last Year's Saxxy Replay Winner. The Meet the Pyro short has a lot to live up to, especially when this effort was made just using the in game replay system.
