Well the correct use of a Backburner is in its name. Burn their Backs... I really don't see how anyone could make the mista.... \\watches as a Backburner Pryo W+M1 a Heavy/Medic combo...\\ Nevermind...

Though it is annoying when a Medic turns around and you lose those crits, alerting the Heavy who turns around and kills you without doing any damage to him due to medic. But when he doesn't. Best moment ever...

It was a Pub match tbh, but it was clearly a Clan trolling the Pubs, something like 8 or so of one single clan on one team. Naturally we of the random group lost each map but still...

A Clan which plays TF2 in Pubs usually does it for two reason. Fun/Trolling and Strategy Training. The thing about Pubs is that that Random Chance of Change can happen very quickly compared to a Comp Match due to the way its so "Set in Stone" in playstyles...

Over here comp groups are called clans, as for the pyros role in comps, it really depends on the skill of the pyro and the maps, pro pyro can often be a bit of a carry in hl as he is counter to solli, sticky traps, ubers, nades, de-sapper as well as being a viable killer and ambush attacker.  A pyro who is pro with burn/pop up/then crit with flare can kill most classes very quickly and is hard to counter.  Id call the pyro just protecting the engi stuff a waste unless most of the team is there holding a point anyway, eg. our pyro runs homewrecker in badwater and covers my stuff when we hold roof on 2nd (pretty much whole team is on roof) and in the pit at last, other than that he runs with the attack team.

  We have run backburner on some maps, but only for 1 shot ambush setups when the rest of the team is going to fall back or if we know we are intentionally dropping a point, if it works, its hilarious.

hmm, clans = comp group in some places, good to know.

The backburner's crit range needs to be widened immensely for it to actually be useful over the flamethrower and degreaser, though; it should be ~90-180 instead of (IIRC) 45 degrees as it is now.

So I took the plunge and turned off a bunch of viewmodels for the appropriate classes (the ones you don't really need to see) and all of a sudden I am a godly direct hitter. I'd always written off the weapon as bad before, but now I'm successfully doing damage at all distances more effectively than I ever have, once the gigantic thing was off of my screen.

Clanstacking can be quite fun, but one of our head admins - if he's online - INSISTS that we dont clanstack
But its still alot of fun. Its the good players vs the good players, while picking off a few pubs here and there, and then just the pubs vs the pubs.

Being a lynchpin in an epic defense against a stack is the best fun you can have in pub tf2 imo.

Ah yes, Solo-Fortress 2, I play it often. Too bad that while you're actually ruining the stack's strategy, nobody else seems to be pushing the cart. It's not like you're doing anything else useful. So I run back and forth between the cart and their medics/turrets/etc.

[Keltiknight]

Must say, ended up with the neon annihilator, nice weapon to mess around with, since most people have no problem rushing a pyro who is swimming...until they get a neon sign crit to the face. Hoping to get the flying guillotine some time soon, it looks fun, considering my love of the sand man stun, probably wait until the prices get to something relatively reasonable and stable.

[miauw62]

Neon annihilator? flying guillotine?
Please use the actual NAMES of the weapons :/
WHOOPS NVM i didnt realize a new update came out. I hope these weapons arent too OP.

Anyway, i had an epic run yesterday. Pyro and demo on turbine instarespawn, 32 players. I was the best player in my team, around 175 points i think.
While playing pyro, i ran into the enemy vents, and i had to hide in the vent going to the drop, where nobody could see me. Suddenly, a friendly spy comes. I quickly say "you sap and i'll drop down to destroy the sentries, k?". He just jumps down, so i guess he agrees. He's a spy, if he isnt going to sap... A few moments later, i jump down. Sentries sapped. Awesome. I rush to the sentries before the engies repair them and manage to destroy them, i quickly grab the intel.
"The enemy has secured your intelligence!"
FFFFFUUUUUU- (crits on capture were turned on)
I only managed to bring it halfway the hallway, but we captured it anyway.

In that match, i also seemed invurnable to spies. Spies would always stab everybody (usually in the vents), except for me.
I always turned around just when a spy was going to stab me, just because i wanted to go back and felt an enemy behind me, or because i wanted to look why my medic wasnt healing me anymore.

Also, i think i'm a better demo than i think i am.

The spy finally gets a new sapper in the latest update too. It reverses the building's construction, which I think is completely hilarious.

The cleaver (or guillotine) is also great and hilarious. It replaces the pistol and crits on stunned targets. I'm always using my Strange Sandman anyway, so I really really really want the cleaver. That also has the added bonus that people won't always initiate random trades to get my Vintage Lugermorph.

[PTTG??]

Man, don't trade away that luger. I traded mine, with the hat, away for a 'fetti unusual. The hat alone was worth more than that, and the gun is worth more than the hat...

   Shock, you will be quickly banned and rightly so. Also its mostly pointless as this is the internet, you need to do better. This is just a copy paste of some disturbing pictures with a little editing, you need to try harder if you want to affect anything though since this seems to be the best you can do I feel almost sorry for you. Then again I feel the same way about most modern horror movies, neither they nor you get it and in trying to cause horror instead just go for the easy shock which goes away quickly and becomes just so much gore. To those of you reading this in the future don't mind this its just me yelling at a wall because I doubt anything I say would actually affect the troll which posted a "shock" image and had the totally original name of Shock.

[miauw62]

Actually, in the WTF thread a message popped up of him saying "herp derp B12 sux nao toadeh iz banhappeh!". So yeah, i guess thats the reason.
