I think you took it a bit too... extreme. Pyro should be just as good combat class like soldier and hwguy, yes. However, that...

In every TF game the pyro has a built-in problem: the flamethrower shoots projectiles that have to be fairly forgiving (in terms of how easily they can hit), and they deal damage afterward (when you're not hitting). That's what happens when you try to model a flamethrower in a game like this....

RE: Jitterskull about a 'Shocker' class: I always liked the whole idea of a class called the 'Electrician'; but I think if it were to be a thing, it wouldn't replace the pyro, but just be a new class.

It's a stereotype because it's true, and it happens in every TF game the same way. Do you think the 'constant concentration and aiming' with huge projectiles from a flamethrower is anywhere near what's required with an LG?

All the stuff about dodging and being unpredictable etc is basically BS....

@johnstt Btw, I don't believe the FF flamethrower fires projectiles like the TFC version. It is a hitscan cone. Which leads me to another point.

Wouldn't it be a lot easier than moving to source 2013? And it does provide a lot benefits like proper steam intergration etc.

not really, 2007 changed both the physical structure and the api layout of the code quite a bit and that is the majority of the effort. 2013 built on that, so they both would need that big lump of effort.

Realistically, while updating to 2013 would be nice, the demand just isnt there (ignoring...

Would love so much the kill-assist feature for Fortress Forever.

I really hope my idea will be taken under consideration to solve this. Perhaps along to that adding extra slightly more wider hitscan particles that would still able hit enemies, just so that they won't be as wide as actual flamethrower's flame hitbox but not as tiny as the invisible tiny hitscan...
