Team Fortress 2 ‘Pyromania: Day One’ Begins, Culminating with “Meet The Pyro”

That’s right Team Fortress 2 fanboys and Valve lovers. You read it correctly. At the end of this week we will have the “Meet The Pyro” video!

If you have been living under a rock for the past few years, let me bring you up to speed. Periodically, Valve has released small vignettes introducing the different classes from their hit team shooter, Team Fortress 2. They’ve been critically received and highly praised all around. The gaming community for a while now has been craving the one introducing the Pyro class. The wait is over.

Announced today over on the TF2 blog that this week is PYROMANIA!

Day One sneaks the peek at the new map “Doomsday”.

Doomsday pits BLU against RED, with 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 he can blast off and hunt down Soviet space chimp Vladimir Bananas. It’s the same spirit of competitive enterprise that stalled the moon landing by three years when Buzz Aldrin suplexed Neil Armstrong into a pile of folding chairs at Astromania ’69! Both teams will attempt to get the necessary fuel up a preposterously slow-moving elevator and into Poopy Joe’s Australium-powered rocket to the stars.

So keep and eye out here and the TF2 blog for more updates as they come out!
