Not sure if anyone is still playing TF2 (I still do from time to time), but this video is awesome.

Forward to 1:15 in the video, tell me what gun is that Pyro holding??

Could it be the new gun from the Pyro update expected this week?

Hmmm, its definitely something that the pyro doesn't have right now, thats for sure.

I thought the Pyro pack was still a month or so away though?

The second Pyro unlockable is The Backburner. This flamethrower is built for the Pyro who likes to ambush their opponents. It removes the compression blast capability, instead guaranteeing critical hits whenever it's used on an opponent from behind. To aid in survivability, it grants the Pyro an extra fifty health.
Wow!

These updates sound really awesome, it sucks that I haven't had any time to play these lately. I haven't touched the game since the medic update, which is a travesty.

I can't wait for more of these videos!

I don't get it, what is a compression blast? How does it differ from the default weapon? I understand the crits if attacking from behind. Quite clever actually, every time I see a Pyro, I turn and run for it.

I get OWNED by these new unlocks, Pyro seems to be getting pretty popular.

Compression blast is an augment to the default pyro weapon, every pyro gets it. It's pretty cool actually, I've either defended a point with it or had my attempt at denying a cap messed up with it. Pyros are almost too powerful now

I long for the day that these updates find their way to the 360.

It's a puff of air that blows enemies and even projectiles like rockets away from the Pyro. You can blow things quite a good distance.
