-Burst-damage Pyro flamethrower -Jetpack with Mantreads included - Pyro Jarate (I think it's throwable, at least) but with afterburn instead of minicrits (also realized we could see this weapon from day 1, in the image at the bottom of the page) -Pyro Eviction Notice (sounds somewhat underwhelming, but we'll have to see. I rarely find myself using melee as Pyro anyways) -Flamethrower mojo gone -Airblast pretty much converted back to knockback force -Banana added after 7 years of waiting (although it seems pretty much like a Dalokohs Bar without the 50 extra max health) I APPROVE.

Hey guy.

You mean the 8 maps, 3 new weapons, and incoming plethora of balance changes? No you don't. On skins, I'd have to assume that stock weapons like the Rocket Launcher and Medi Gun will be war paintable. That just makes sense. Although I could be wrong. Also Banana Bay confirmed new Soldier playground.

I'm glad he hasn't found this place. Yet. Overall I'm very satisfied with what we've seen. There's still halfway to go, but it's a good sign. I'll probably actually join in on this campaign, which I haven't done since Gun Mettle; the new system of contracts and skins is actually very interesting and cool. So far the only thing I have gripes with is the yeti cosmetics for Heavy which are probably among the most over-the-top cosmetics we've gotten to date, but that said, I'm glad the only thing I dislike so far is purely cosmetic.

I made sure not to hype at all; I only informed you of the date of the thing. Your disappointment is your own.

I don't even know what your notes thing is. Robot fight over, boy did they load on the corny on that. The technology itself is very impressive and is going places, but it's too slow and clunky right now to make an exciting fight.

I was thinking it'd make more sense to do both in one day. But then I don't really know what they would do for the 4th day. SECRET Heavy Update!?

Even in a list of your favorite songs there is bound to be a song you like the least. Not every day can be game-changing balance changes. Hopefully those come tomorrow.

I swear to God is this the fucking GRIEFBLOWER!? Also the addition of classic war paints means you can have the cow skin on every weapon you want.

Day 2 here (blue balls gone): http://www.teamfortress.com/jungleinferno/campaign.php#

They look fine to me.

Not the dastardly duo again.

What the fuck is that cheese wagon

Can't tell if it's just asset reusing or a subtle nod

Call it Flyro.

I guess? If only for the fact that it's released in the same timeframe. I'm not expecting any big Scream Fortress stuff.

Just realized that last week the TFteam said "not this week imminent" and the update came out literally the first day of the next week. They weren't lying.

Mountain Lab and Thunder Mountain always kinda felt jungle-y to me. Or at least alpine. All the jungle maps look really great though, wonder if the gameplay will be on-par with the visuals. Also: Haaa

Save the best for last, I suppose. What's important is that we know the update is here now. And also that the jetpack is a jetpack. Something interesting worth noting is that the Gas Blast isn't listed with the taunts. Maybe it is the jetpack's weapon taunt, or maybe they're just saving it for release with the jetpack.

The UPDATE has ARRIVED: http://www.teamfortress.com/jungleinferno/

Here is (I think) every possibility of what the jetpack could be: A. The jetpack is a new cosmetic which adds a “taunt bonus” (the 2 streams of fire coming out of it) when used with the Gas Blast Taunt (much like the Boston Boombox and Infernal Orchestra adding music when taunting) B. The jetpack is new weapon which adds the aforementioned taunt bonus to the Gas Blast taunt. Would be the first time we’ve seen a taunt bonus on a weapon, if I recall (excluding the possibility of the Saharan Spy Set whirlwind taunt bonus) C. The jetpack is a new weapon and the Gas Blast is its weapon taunt. D. The Jetpack is simply part of the taunt. I don’t want to believe that the jetpack is just part of the taunt; but it seems plausible, considering it and the Pyro’s ass are shooting fire simultaneously in the taunt video thumbnail. However, and I can’t tell for sure, but if you look closely at the thumbnail for the Gas Blast, you’ll see that the Pyro’s normal tank is missing. If it were just part of the taunt, it would be a bit odd for the Pyro’s tank to just disappear and reappear for the taunt. Either that, or the jetpack is large enough to conceal the tank. Regardless, prepare for it to be either nothing or everything.

The F was not for you.

People need to stop saying that; there's no A in effort. You get an F for no effort.

I guess there's something with yetis now? Also from what we can see in the thumbnails the new jungle map(s) look pretty cool.
