Well it's 4:30pm CST and the big pyro update has just hit the wire, just startup your TF2 and it will update.  Unfortunately I'm at work and won't get to experience it until late tonight
I would highlight the significant parts of the update like I usually do, but the whole damn thing would be yellow. 

I for one will be especially burned by the 'Removed Soldier's 40% damage reduction from his own rockets.  Does not affect rocket jumps'.

This whole thing looks to be a big game changer, I'll be interested to read the initial comments from people that are actually trying it out!

Here are the dirty details:


June 19, 2008 - Team Fortress 2 Update Released

  • Added The Axtinguisher, The Backburner, and The Flare Gun
  • Hadouken taunt now kills people it hits
  • Tuned the flamethrower hit detection to improve detection versus retreating opponents

I love all the changes.

They fixed pyro hit detection and burnination.
They nerfed the solly (appropriately, and finally)
They turned well into 2fort2 (thank god).

That answers my complaint with reflecting rockets back at soldiers.
