About Me
Other Aliases: Oswoc, Ozwok, Zice, god.kow (plus any/all of those with '325' after them)

Steam ID: god_kow

Clan Affiliation: [SSNF] and our radical right wing [kssnf]

My favorite genre is generally shooters. RPGs are ok too (especially if they're free). I'm too dumb to figure out RTS games. Racing/Sports games are meh, unless something creative is done with them to make them awesome. If I wanted to play soccer, I would just go outside and do it. If I'm gonna game, I'm gonna blow people's heads off and cleanse the world of demons (things I can't/would never do in real life).

Consoles I Own (in no particular order): Sega Genesis, Nintendo 64, Playstation 2, Gamecube, Xbox, Wii, Gameboy Color, Gameboy Advance, mah shweet PC

Oh and I'm part Japanese. My friends seem to think that's awesome so maybe if you guys read this you'll think I'm awesome too. Seems like solid logic to me.

Main Games I'm Playing:
Team Fortress 2 (PC)
Left 4 Dead (PC)
I've also got the random urge to play Morrowind again as well.

New Pyro weapon revealed in Steam Udate News
godkow | 11:50 AM on 06.07.2008 17 comments


"We've almost completely wrapped up the next big release for Team Fortress 2, which will focus on the Pyro class, along with the Meet the Sniper movie. We've spent time looking at how the recent Medic release went, and have rolled feedback from that release into the new item designs for the Pyro and into the design of the achievements required to unlock those items. One item, shown here in concept form, will be the Axtinguisher. Although it does about half of normal damage to standard run-of-the-mill non-burning enemies, once you light someone on fire the Axtinguisher will guarantee a critical hit."



"Along with all of the new content, we're also going to be making some significant changes to the Pyro class for everyone, regardless of whether they have unlocked any new items."

Looks like it won't be a guitar then. Still, this sounds pretty sweet. You can't just charge the enemy like a mad man, you'll actually have to go at them from an unexpected angle and decide how many you can set ablaze and hack before you can safely retreat. Actually, charging with reckless abandon would probably work, too. Oh well.

In certain situations, I can see this being way overpowered, but there should be enough instances where it's useless to balance it out. So, what do you guys think? Where you hoping for something else?

Is he only getting one new weapon? I actually like the idea of the axe though.

This is just the only weapon that's been revealed. As far as I know, every class will get three new weapons.

One pyro with the flamethrower and the other with that axe could make for a very deadly duo

I can't wait for the update, it's going to be "free" right?

Sweet, I hate it when companies are all "updates, $5.99".

What kind of achievements you think they'll pair up with the pyro updates?

Mix I do believe you are mistaken, this is for the pee cee.

Can't wait for the Pyro update. I hope Valve learned from the Medic pack and a) Don't include the ridiculous achievements possible only by grinding and staging events, and b) Don't require every single one to be gotten to get the unlockables.

That axe looks sick. The blood stain on the blade was a good touch.

That doesn't sound very good at all. If I'm using the flamethrower then I don't need the axe, and if I'm using the axe I don't need the flamethrower.

OMG! I'm so fucking psyched for this. I can't wait.

The only class that doesn't get 3 upgrades is the spy. He gets the revolver and knife updated.
