I like an explosion option... go running in and {BOOM}, pyro self destructs doing massive damage within a short range AND throws people (break up uber).

A suicide bomber weapon for the Pyro would be in extremely poor taste... It would make much more sense as a Scout or Demo weapon.

Yeah, I don't think they're going to implement a suicide bomb weapon. A combine ball (secondary fire on the pulse gun in hl2) like hadoken style fire ball wouldn't be bad idea. But there's gotta be an uber system or something for it. Say, the meter fills up with every kill you get from the flamethrower.

I like this idea. Maybe the meter could go up equally to the amount of points damage you do with fire. I also thought ground fires would be a cool weapon. Sorta like a Sentry but would just light people on fire who walk through it (except other pyros... of coarse), then maybe it would have a timer and go out. I think that would be cool.
Um its a Ka-Ma-Ha-Ma-HHHHHHHHHHHHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA fyi, gosh watch some DBZ for once in your life put down the pokemon. But that would be tight to have, like ghost riding your whip tight.
boy, you need to step away from the keyboard and play some Street Fighter.
I am glad you posted that because if you have ever seen Dragon Ball where the move is first showed you would realize that the difference is in the "wind-up". Dragon Ball starts with the hands out in front of the body pulling your chi in, like the pyro, where Street Fighter has the hands next to the body or past during the chi build up. I am in game right now to make sure I wasn't crazy. The manga for DragonBall was actually out several years before the release of StreetFighter though DBZ air around 2 years after StreetFighter hit the scene, the series most people know of the moves and characters from.
It wasn't about being a big fan, which I was, it was more about trying to get hold of another countries culture and now I just try and experience a lot of the things that other people "seem" to like. But yeah I realized the geek factor went up when I started typing.
But how did people like the pl_dustbowl last night, its different but didn't like it. Took the real challenge out when you are playing offense.
The fireballs would almost make sense too... remember the flame launcher that Pyro had in TFC? It was slow, easily avoidable, but could be devastating if it caught a tight group of enemy. Fireball would be a stylish way to bring that back.
Also, I was on a roll last night. Too bad I was playing after everyone else left.... I missed the new customs again.
I've a strong suspicion that dustbowl was designed with eventual pl map in mind. As soon as I saw goldrush, I figured that the next map release from valve would be pl_dustbowl... I'd sort-of rather wait for that official one to be released, than play this home-made one...
Along with all of the new content, we're also going to be making some significant changes to the Pyro class for everyone, regardless of whether they have unlocked any new items.

An official pl_dustbowl would be great. You're right, it's got potential. We'll have to wait and see.
Can't wait for the pyro achievement, it's going to be awesome when 65% of players ARE FRIGGING PYROS.

happycow is meh. too many chockpoints imo, defense can have their way with ya
cp_aqua has potential, as there are many alternate routes, but has water, so pyro is sol
pl_dustbowl is, well, ill have to play it again with more people.
Ive played PL_Dustbowl and it is VERY fun, good times with a full server. It was like the layout was created for PL.
Some epic moments tonight. A 6 man red team almost held a 5 man blue team to no caps on Gold Rush. They still didn't get past B :-D
