If the flaregun is effective against snipers I'll have to start prioritize them, something which I should really not be doing against a close range class. I fail to see how its a good thing either, because they're going to lose their obscurity in the battlefield. When faced with two possible enemies to shoot at, lets say a heavy and a pyro, before I would pick the heavy because he seems like the bigger threat. If he has the ability to set me on fire from a mile away, I'm going to go after him first.

Honestly Pyro didn't need a buff. People just needed to play it properly and adapt. What's worse is that these buffs are now going to make Spy harder to play, which will result in more whining and then valve having to make unlockables for the spy which will buff them too, which means good spies (aka magna) will have even more powerful weapons at their disposal which we all know he doesn't need

In the end I know I'll adapt so I'm not going to make a huge deal out of it. I'm just hoping they have the sniper unlockables to replace the secondary weapon with a shotgun or something, because I hate the SMG.

At least the achievements are easy and should come with most regular play.

Yeah I know. I thought the whole point of the uber was to help teams push up, if pyros have the ability to break ubers easily then it'll just mean more stalemates since nobody moves up on pubs without an uber.
