The flamethrower range change was nice, but he was still pretty lacking. There really wasn't anything he could do that another class couldn't do better.

we've made a significant addition to the base Pyro flamethrower. By hitting the alt-fire key, the Pyro is able to produce a blast of compressed air that knocks enemies away, and redirects enemy projectiles.


But this...might be a bit much. Total rocket and demo immunity for himself and everyone around him?
Is that what it is? Something tells me you won't be able to run around constantly blowing away everything and everyone, Mr. Haterade.

Anyway, this is awesome. Pyro vs. competent Soldier is pretty much auto-lose as it stands. It also weakens the demoman, which is fine with me. A pyro on spy duty can also blow stickies away from sentries, too! But I'm sure like so much kritzcrieg this will be totally underutilized.

The achievements are, on the whole, a lot better. Except the ones that rely on your opponents being retarded. Ignite an enemy spy doing the cigarette taunt? Prediction -> Spy achievement requiring you to toss cigarette butts on corpses.
