I just always feel sad with 40K. It actually has a really cool plot that could go a lot of interesting places, but it's stuck in cryostasis because of GW.

If only the price of entry didn't double every year

Wait, that's not right!

Pyro, in my experience, excels in psychological combat. When you torch someone, you damage them initially and give them 10 seconds to panic and hope that afterburn doesn't kill them as they look for medkits. This has amazing potential to minimize the effect of a push, though still not as much on an effect as outrightly killing the opponents.

A single medic on the team would put a stop to the whole panicking medkit thing in seconds.

That Medic is still trying to heal every player while the team in general struggles, so, while the pyro may not be effective, his role is vaguely understandable.

I see afterburn as a way to burn resources.  Available health packs are one, but also possibly jar weapons and maybe even a sandvich.

That being said, it is still rarely lethal, albeit easy to apply.

The week can be advanced now.

Heavy is damn near impossible to play without being downright frustrating.  You need a medic shoved up your ass so far he becomes a hairpiece just to transcend to 'meh' tier.

Without a medic, your supposedly 'high' health means nothing.  You take one extra hit to die, whoop-de-doo.  And once you take damage there is so much downtime to mitigate it, either waddling to health packs or being stationary eating sandviches.  One fight will whittle you down to nothing.

The damage nerf is the real kicker, just kills the class.  The minigun's dps is just cut in half for the first second of firing.  Anytime you stop firing, the nerf resets, so you end up spamming like an idiot just so maybe you'll do damage.  The minigun just isn't a threat anymore.  Everyone either just casually walks away or just outdamages you and kills you.

People say the new tomislav makes up for it, I think its still crap.  Your damage is still cut in half, so what if you spin up slightly faster.

After playing heavy, I just switch to demo or soldier.  Soldier can be just as tanky, move faster, and do more damage.

Borneo is crap. It's totally indefensible.

By pro players, Borneo is actually considered to be the best map to get released in the update.

eh, I don't see why.

I will give it that it is the least bad map in the pack.

Considering sprays are off on the standard servers, I doubt it will be changed soon.

So I have ten bucks on steam.

Should I get the Republic expansion, or the Legacy of Rome one plus another 5 buck thing?

Right now I have the Islam and Old Gods packs.
