Ah well, Heavy can stay in the bin I guess.

As for Pyro coming out of the bin, i'm expecting some extreme updates. Like some kind of Lightning Gun primary.

With the way Valve's been balancing lately, this isn't as far-fetched of an idea as you'd think.

To be real 20 MB is a bit huge for just some code and a picture and dont forget that they needed to delay the update 2 days

"Due to Team Pyro's effort in the war, Pryo will be recieving a class pack in a future update!" I do hope they fix these spelling mistakes, they've recently been poor on the spelling front. Sneakily patching out things like a missing: of. In the mvm description.

In their defense, I always mispell recieving too.

Aye, I spell things wrong too. But they are meant to be protessionals! (I'm meaning to misspell that). It just generally shows a lack of polish. But I guess TF2 is an old product so attention to detail isn't so much needed.

Also, It doesn't mention anything about Heavy getting an update in the notification that I'm guessing will pop up at the end of the competition. I hope they haven't gone back on what they said about both heavy and pyro getting an update.

This is the end of the war, but there isn't exactly a timeline for when the Pyro gets their class pack, or even when the Heavy gets his after that. Hoping this week's update that got delayed from the last is fixes for MyM and doesn't include the Pyro stuff just to keep the old drama from the new.

I want Valve to first show that they're capable of properly balancing the current weapons before they go ahead and add even more weapons to the game. I mean, they nerfed the Bison of all weapons, taking away an intended and advertised feature while labeling it as a bug and oh by the way lets also buff the Quickybomb Launcher into the super OP weapons stack. Meanwhile: Reserve Shooter? Unchanged. Beggar's Bazooka? Unchanged. Axtinguisher? Unchanged. Baby Face's Blaster? Unchanged (to name a few).
