Some big changes for Team Fortress 2 have been revealed by Tom Francis in the PC Gamer UK blog, Battlefield Heroes gets a change of perspective, and the Games Developer Choice Awards nominations have been revealed!
This thread has popped up on the Steam forums detailing possible changes to the Soldier and to the Pyro in Team Fortress 2. The thread poster got in touch with Robin Walker concerning Pyro point scoring and the Rocket Launcher for the Soldier. The response from Robin is as follows.
Hi Buzzbob.
Thanks for all the feedback, and I’m glad to hear you’re enjoying the
game. We are indeed investigating Soldier changes, and one of the
changes we’re trying out is focused on making Soldiers a little more
careful firing their rockets at point blank targets.As for the Pyro scoring, we have a minor tweak coming down the pipe.
He’s going to get a small amount of points for every enemy he ignites.
This should reward you for those moments where you drop into the middle
of an enemy pack and light them all up, hurting them all and disrupting
their plans, but not managing to actually kill them.Robin.
Until we hear anything confirmed from Valve we should just wait and see, but following on from other recent Team Fortress 2 news I think we can put this down as probably being true.
My view = good news! The Pyro change sounds really good, and it will possibly get me back into playing TF2 :D
