So it looks like the equalizer has been nerfed in an odd way. there's now two pickaxes, one which one boosts speed, and one that only boosts damage. hm.

Seems they gave me a Strange Damage Boosting Equalizer...

[Putnam]

If you had a strange equalizer, it gave you a strange equalizer and quick escape or w/e.

Really guys, a true pyro player doesn't need the goggles for pyro vision.

Well, duh. The goggles do nothing anyway.

Heh, if I was Valve, I would have made pyrovision the default for the pyro, at least until the 5th of July, and equipping the pyrovision goggles brings them down to regular.

I see what you did there.

Love the pyrovision.

Managed to get a cleaner's carbine, the sniper weapon, promptly traded it (Along with a rec) for a rainblower (Or as I usually call it "RAINBOW GUN"). And another scorching crate, and from the total two scorching crates I got, I got a diffler's duffel scout misc, and a liquidator's lid for the sniper. Due to my low graphics settings (A ram chip died I believe, need to check that out at some point.) the glasses on the lid are worn OVER the sniper's default glasses, either that, or odd shenanigans from Valve.

The new rocket launcher does serve a purpose, it's pretty darn effective at taking out level 3 sentries.  Especially if used in pairs it can deal damage in such rapid secession that it's hard to repair and/or keep from dying.

No you don't. You need to put your goggles on first.

Actually, it's horrible at rocket-sniping sentries. The spread is too large. If you're right up next to the thing it might make a difference. The new rocket launcher is most useful at close range, because the spread won't matter and the spammed rockets will do a load of damage.

In other news, I'm loving the hitman's heatmaker. I find that I'm a lot better at sniping with it, for some odd reason. The focus bonus kicks ass for anyone, bodyshotters included.

[mainiac]

Range sniping was something that you could already do fairly trivially.  The new rocket launcher allows you to corner snipe sentries though and the spread is manageable at a surprisingly large distance.

So, I decided to play pyro, and I found that all of my kills are now being attributed to my brain slug with me as an assist.

Oh man, that's amazing! And that will definitely work with a name tag too. Wonder what happens with non-solo kills, though.

I'm pretty sure I saw the same with an alien swarm parasite.

EDIT: Yep, it does the same with the alien swarm parasite.

They nerfed the sticky jumper? THEY NERFED THE STICKY JUMPER?

Fuck it, game over, everyone go home. Valve has irreparably broken the game.

I loved that cheesy OP gun. I almost feel like crying.
