TF2 - How to play the Pyro

Well, it took some time (Crysis and Timeshift can be great timewasters) but it's finally here. I chose the Pyro for this vid as it seems that he got a little stealth nerf in a recent patch. Playing a Pyro with competent adversaries is somewhat like playing a spy without his disguise kit. You'll get killed a lot if you just try to rush in and flame people head-on. Sure, you'll get kills from the burn damage, but my style involves not dying so much. :P

There's a higher quality version up here:

Now, there's some stuff I couldn't cram into the video, so I'll elaborate on the class and weapon strategies here:

Also, don't start posting comments along the lines of "oh yeah i knew that stuff already lol", I didn't make this for the people that already knew how to play, dammit, it's for the people who actually seek advice. :P

And yes, I know the text sometimes scrolls a bit fast, but you can always watch the vid again if you didn't get something.

W+M1 Commentors:

You obviously have no idea how to play the Pyro. A horrible pyro W+M1's. A good Pyro needs tactical genius.

The Pyro is a tactician's class. So, I suggest you kindly shut up.

If you play a full Space Pyro, it's almost same as the old days (as in this video) with a funny twist. Soldiers hard counter you again, but it's fun to run through 4 enemies in a row after the phlog taunt.

Not really viable since the lost of airblast is crippling, but so much fun.

Instead of dodging rocket use air blast to re direct it back to the soldier.

I'm not denying that 7:05 (caption) is true, but it is possible to kill team-mate before med. All you need to do is burn the shit out of both of them together. Doesn't really work against Heavys or high-heath characters.
