Valve is always going back and forth.on the TF2 website blogs it said HE and SHE’LL.on Valve blogs(Valve.com)it says HE.an interveiw on youtube said SHE.
and also pyro could be a women:have you ever tried to talk in a gas mask?its pretty hard to understand and your voice sounds WAY diffrent
But look at how the pyros shaped.and if there wasnt a pink purse in the locker room none of this would ever of happend!go over all the facts…most lead to:male little lead to:female

i love how pyro keeps on submitting his opinions. i also love how he would like to make us think he’s talking about himself in the third person. but anyways, i don’t really care either way. if the pyro is male, then it fits in. if the pyro is female, then it’s an amusing little detail.

In relevance to like the achievements and stuff i reckon Steam should release should like release the achievements three at a time. one in each section. like scout achievements for offense, and like demoman for defense and maybe sniper achievements for support (or whatever the sections are). this way if everyone piles into the classes that have received achievements the teams will still be reasonably balanced.

Also im pretty nuetral with the different gender teams. the way i see it its still the same old game.

I like your idea, buckaw. I imagine the man-pyro to be horribly scarred behind his man-pyro man-mask.

Good point, Buckaw.

Also, those female TF2 character ideas by Alciha are the best I’ve seen. If they were to implement female versions (which could be put in random rotation with the rest, or perhaps chosen on a class-by-class basis by the player?), then anything close to these designs would be fantastic.

The pyro is a burn-scarred mess. It has no gender. It probably doesn’t even have lips.

Pyro is my favourite man-character, but I won’t toch the game untile the achievements craze dies.

Yesterday I unlocked some of the hardest achivements, but for the rest, I will aim to obtain them by playing normally with the man-pyro.

Ok, so for the next couple of weeks TF2 becomes nearly unplayable, but the real value of the Pyro update is the added dimension it adds to the class and the game as a whole for the rest of recorded history. It’s nice to see the synergy between it and the medic update for some of the achievements. As more classes receive the upgrade treatment, we can expect to see more common purpose as people try to pick up the harder to achieve ones. Of course, the latest update will always be held guilty of ‘breaking’ the game, but once the dust settles, it improves TF2 overall.

I got a medic the ubi concordia achievement by attacking gravelpit B as a heavy. THEY JUST RAN AT ME. IT WAS GLORIOUS.

Snarky, it’s fine. After getting bored in the flaming scrum I switched to soldier and heavy and racked up the kills, top of server even though I’m not that good (granted, free weekend). Might be harder when people have the hang of the deflector alt fire.

The night of a thousand Medics was one thing… but Pyros? Oh gawd, the new gameplay mechanics associated with… er, her… would make it hard enough an adjustment to play against the usual one or two of them per team. But Pyros making up the bulk of the players on each team? If I would somehow be thrust into this scenario as reality, I’d have brown pants by now… obscured by heavy amounts of charring.

More on-topic though, I always thought of the Pyro as more of a flamer (*chhk… snicker*) because it was more… punny. Oh well.
