What is that skull on the top right image? Is that a rocket? Why is it curving.

Currently (and perhaps permanently) the Pyro's incendiary cannon fires flaming skulls.

The Pyro's new incendiary cannon also functions more like a mortar - the rockets are slower and influenced more by gravity. As such, you need to fire in an arc to hit distant targets. Or you can fire straight up and have it land on your head.

The rockets being effected by gravity I am all for. Since the Pyro got such a big boost it gives pplz something they have to actually learn so it wont be too overpowering. But the skulls...I could do without. Don't delay the game for it by any means, but I do hope it is changed eventually.

You won't notice 'em ingame unless it's coming right at you. It gives it a great effect.

For the people who don't like the skull: why? Honestly, I just don't get it. It's so cool.

SaberWolf · 05-22-2007, 09:49 PM

In responce to Circ: That's good to know, thanks!

And to Formaldehyde: To me it just seemed like a lame concept...I dunno. We each have out own opinions and tastes.

But since Circ's responce, I feel better about it.

Dospac · 05-22-2007, 10:37 PM

I'll just second Circ's post. The only time you can see it well is when it's headed right at your face. It's cool.

It's still really... random though. Just... why skulls? o_O

iMpi · 05-23-2007, 04:03 AM

Okey, cool, I thought it was a solly rocket. At first I looked at it and thought "Awww shit, now I gotta think of gravity as well while I'm shooting"

flaming skull wins

StrickNine · 05-23-2007, 06:55 AM

why not flaming gazelles?

Circuitous · 05-23-2007, 07:14 AM

We tried that, but the horns kept getting caught in the loader.

Skulls are far more aerodynamic.
