Which Pyro Flamethrower do you like more?

Well, which one do you like more?

I personally like the backburner. First off, you have to get close to finish an opponent off anyway and secondly, the 50+ health is worth it alone.

I don't have the backburner yet, so I can't decide.

Neither do I. Once I've got my hands on it will I then provide my opinion.

Backburner - I feel like I need to get close anyways and can usually swoop around the the back of my enemy and finish him off with that critical hit. The +50 is a bonus to me! :)

I'm loving the new Blowback ma-jiggy on the original!
But i'll make a vote after i've played with the Backburner some more!

The compressed air blast is really fun to use, but it costs too much ammo imo.

And the 50 health alone is worth giving it up to me.

The scout unlocks better be good, because the blutsaughter made medics much harder to take out for scouts, and the backburner does the same for pyros.

Same, I haven't been able to unlock anything yet, but the Blowback feature is quite nice.
Now you are truly an engineers best friend, able to do both spycheck and return rockets and bombs to the sender.

While the extra 50 health is a good bonus, i voted standard just because the compressed air attack is so useful against soldiers and ubers near ledges. I usually only take the backburner if the other team doesn't have any soldiers.

Re: Which Pyro Flamethrower do you like more?

I honestly cant decide, because the backburner is so useful for the extra hp and crits

but I have endless fun reflecting rockets with the air blast has saved me from many level 3 sentries

Re: Which Pyro Flamethrower do you like more?

The Backburner, the +50hp and crits are worth it although the air blast is funny when you hold someone up in the air :awes

Re: Which Pyro Flamethrower do you like more?

I like the back burner better. The air blast is good, but it takes up too much ammo. After deflecting four soldier rockets you barely have any ammo left.

[MrChris_CJ]

Re: Which Pyro Flamethrower do you like more?

I usually try to get at a reasonable range and just deflect the crits while dodging the others

another funny as hell thing to do is ignite someone then bounce em around a bit, when they die, nab the ammo from their gun and mow on

Re: Which Pyro Flamethrower do you like more?

Now that I have the Backburner, I like it much better than the original for obvious reasons. It's quite overpowering however.

[MrChris_CJ]

Re: Which Pyro Flamethrower do you like more?

I think the backburner should just have its random crits removed or toned down but keep 100% from the back

would be perfect imo then

The backburner will be nerfed.
