Pyromania: Day One
June 25, 2012 - TF2 Team

You read that right (presumably): the long-awaited final Meet the Team short, Meet the Pyro, is dropping in less than three days, and we decided to assemble a massive update to celebrate it.

That only left the issue of what to call the update. Luckily, at the very moment we were thinking about it, someone turned on the radio. Guess what song was on? That's right: 'Safety Dance'.

"That's a pretty catchy song," we said. "Who sings that?" Well, we don't want to upset you, so we won't type it here, but suffice it to say the band that wrote 'Safety Dance' has the most unthinkably offensive name we've ever heard.

Then 'Rock of Ages' came on, off Def Leppard's album Pyromania, so we turned off the radio because it wasn't helping. Suddenly, no thanks at all to music, we came up with the name on our own: The Pyromania Update.

Day One of Pyromania reveals Doomsday, a new map with a brand new game mode that lets you relive one of the darkest days in TF history. It's all pretty heartwrenching, until you discover you'll get achievements, which are also detailed in today's update.

Keep your eyes open, folks. We'll be announcing a bunch of new stuff this week, right up until the premiere of Meet the Pyro this Wednesday.

670 + hours into playing TF2 now and I still dont get bored of it. Looking forward to the last "Meet the X" video. They are launching a new game mode called Doomsday, new achievements and likely new weapons will be added too (similar to previous updates).
 
I want to play some TF2 again but it has been a couple of years and I am totally lost with all the new weapons and items that there seem to be now. I don't really want to have to spend a week reading a wiki and then more weeks trying to collect or craft things just to be to speed.
 
I'm on TF2 fairly frequently so feel free to add me on steam :)

and YES!!!! been waiting for meet the Pyro for AGES!!!!!

To be honest the basics of the game have not changed much, some of the play mechanics have changed with new weapons. Very easy to get back into, just play on some beginners servers/ play as medic initially.
 
Can't wait! My favourite class is pybro!

Hmmmm not sure on the new weps, Guess they will have a place just like all the others... horses for courses and all that.
 
TF2 = pretty much the only game that can keep my attention these days.

I don't get some of the new items though, like Cheese Wheel, Goldfish etc? :confused:
