www.teamfortress.com/pyromania/Based on the timer, Meet the Pyro hits on Wednesday, 2pm EST. Based on past experiences, game update hits Thursday, with bug fixing update on Friday. Doomsday looks like a PL/CP hybrid, kinda like PL_Cranetop. The only Easter Egg I see is the text "Poopy Joe: Monkeynaut and Hero" brings you to the WAR! update's Poopy Joe secret. Actually, two of the achievement icons look like a Scout carrying intel. So maybe a PL/CP/CTF hybrid.

Also scroll all the way down and click on the banana.

They added more stuff since I made this thread. Like that banana on the main page, and the Monkeynautics patch on the Doomsday page. I have a new wallpaper now.The page from the banana is the first of two pages found through the ARG. Oh hey, I'm smart. Click the images to progress.

Who else is hoping for more lasers? That would be nice.

Hum. New flaregun seems kinda poop, unless the knockback is phenominal AND it keeps the crit on burning targets. Which it won't. I like the sniper's new SMG, and the Soldier's new rocket launcher, but not overwhelmed with the other weapons. No lasers either, which is a shame.

It doesn't say that it won't crit, and the base flare gun crits, so this will crit.
Also, I told you no lasers.

All of the stats mentioned on any items are for when you compare it to the stock weapon (or oldest equivalent). None of the wrenches explicitly say that you can upgrade buildings with it because you can do it with the first one. None of the knives mention that backstabs are instant kills, because that's how the first one works.

You missed the point. What you're describing would make sense if the Flareguns' on-burning hit effects were consistent, but they aren't. - Flaregun Crits. - Detonator only Mini-crits, but doesn't if you detonate it. - Manmelter does nothing.

Oh, I didn't know the Manmelter didn't crit.
Well then.

Yeah, the Manmelter doesn't randomly crit. It does, however, get 1 guaranteed crit for every player you use it to extinguish.

My guess on Doomsday is reverse CTF. 2 briefcases. The team has to bring the briefcase to a central Hightower-esque sloooooow elevator. If true, I wonder if the opposite team will be able to pick up the enemy briefcase, or if it will have a timer that brings it back to spawn?

After reading the description though, it does say
"only one team getting the honor of transporting a suitcase nuke full of recalled Mann Co. Australium to American monkeynaut Poopy Joe’s rocket"
So maybe a race to 1 centrally located briefcase, which you then have to bring to the rocket. If true, madness.

That sounds like some combo koth and ctf (capture the king of the hill?). Maybe the team who is holding the briefcase when the point is captured wins it all? Yeah, I have no idea how this will work. I just hope it's not like that one "deliver the intel" reverse-ctf custom map we played. That wasn't very good. (Unless maybe Valve worked their magic and made it better somehow?)

I love the sound of the scoot's new pistol. Only cowards fill fire.

The video was so good. Short and sweet just like the pyro.

Day 3 won't be out until the patch actually hits, because some of the items are spoilers for MTP.

They are? The only item I saw was the new flare gun, and they showed that yesterday. Did I miss crucial frames again?

Apparently you can buy an actual [ballonicorn] from the valve store
Forcible Edit by Faded: There aren't actually spoiler tags in UBB, I changed the text color to match the background
