I have never been and doubt I will ever be good at sniper. Never once have I intentionally headshot outside of complete flukes that do not correspond to rhyme, reason or skill.

Shoot everyone in the body. A hit is a hit.
Kritz Medic + Beggar Soldier is mean. Pop off atleast 9 crit rockets before it ends, all of them spreading out.

They're kinda hard to dodge when they're raining from all directions.

Then the demos aren't doing their job right.  If they're allowing the soldiers to spread out and cause that much damage, they are terrible demos.
How do you stop rocket jumping soldiers from spreading out?

Stickies, of course.  The end all do all weapon of choice.

There comes a time when you must take off the soft, furry slippers of a boy and put on the shoes of a man.
Unless of course they don't fit properly and your feet blister up like bubble wrap.
Oh ho ho, but don't try to return the shoes, because they won't take them back once you've worn them.
Especially if that fat pig Tony is at the desk.

As for using the Phlogistonator in a crowd of bots... i'd like to point out that bots are many times better at organising a focused attack on a taunting pyro than 90% of human teams.
That applies to bots in general. They fight way better than most players I've seen, and would win any PUG you could find out there.
In terms of raw aim and DM, of course an expert level bot would fight better than a player. In terms of actually winning a pick up game, you're mistaken.

The the team has no human players the bots will always gradually switch to Demoman... that's what usually happens when you run a tutorial game and switch to spectator.

This, plus if they are using the boots that do damage if they land on you just keep an eye on the sky and be ready to whip out that giant ax when they try and land right next to you. I've even hit them while they are airborne, which is a good laugh if it kills them.

For the traders among you, an interesting read.

Or boring economics. Depends on your preferences I guess :P

Huh, that was pretty cool. Now I kinda wish I was a trader, but I know I don't have the patience or willingness to contact enough people.

Same.

I'd absolutely LOVE a nice bills hat on my pyro's head.
:(



EDIT:


While the pyromania update only brought ONE new pyro weapon, on a second tought i'm happy with it. If they gave us a new axe and a flamethrower they would have screwed those up anyway.

Yeah, but that doesnt mean it wasnt made with it.
ALOT of people have been using SFM before it was released.

Oh, and check out r33mix's new vid, sunshine.
Its glorious.
