Heh, the engie is building a pyro-bot.

Edit: And two other hidden pages in the 119 page

http://www.teamfortress.com/119/steam.html
http://www.teamfortress.com/119/teams_and_fortresses.html

Were those hidden in the flash video as links? The page itself has no such links.

Check out the page's code if you want to see:

Wait... the Steam system is five times as fast as a carrier pigeon. It propels things at 200 MPH.

This implies that pigeons travel at 40 MPH... except they have to move faster than that since the Steam system doesn't sleep, and pigeons do.

Assuming 8 hours of sleep per day... that's an average of 60 MPH flight-speed for the pigeons. That's insane.

They are on the 119 update page, not the video page. Easiest way to find them is to view source and do a search for secret.

Also an amusing thread.

Assuming Pyro changes were justified, then what happens if we apply the same logic to change the other classes?

Most of it is just silly to absurd, some of it sounds like a good idea.

Eduren · « **Reply #2677 on:** May 06, 2010, 09:06:40 pm »

There are people throwing around the idea of a Flare Gun sentry. And with the recent afterburn nerf, it seems like a nice supportive sidegrade.

Mr.Person · « **Reply #2678 on:** May 06, 2010, 09:13:34 pm »

Am I the only one who likes the Flare Gun? I know the shottie is better, but Flare Gun is more like Flare Fun!

Dr. Johbson · « **Reply #2679 on:** May 06, 2010, 09:17:28 pm »

I use the flare gun alot more than I should, its just so fun.

Sensei · « **Reply #2680 on:** May 06, 2010, 09:27:57 pm »

Does it still have a 10 second burn?

VALVE, THIS NOW. So balanced, so fair, so skilled. How could we NOT have fun with these suggestions?

Someone should make a mod of that, could be interesting.
