    My favorite part?
    KILL IT WITH FIRE

  2. BasketGT on January 8th, 2011 3:24 am

    What game is this for? The only game I know that has a Pyro that looks like that is about trading hats so all this 'kill it with fire' and 'capturing objectives' wouldn't make sense.

  3. AuraMaster on January 8th, 2011 3:36 am

    Has anyone here seen Office Space? Milton totally follows this chart, with a few tweaks, of course.

  4. TheTopHatKid on January 8th, 2011 3:39 am

    What? Objectives? Killing? What were you looking at? I just saw a Pyro rushing towards one of his/her/its hats. I think there might have been some words in the way or something though. Probably to symbolize other people's trade requests in the chat box that make yours less noticeable.

  5. Irish_Anphibian on January 8th, 2011 3:41 am

    Of course, its when your "hudda hudda huh"-ing that the dead ringer spies getcha.

  6. TCC on January 8th, 2011 3:54 am

    actually I hardly do W+M1 at all, and I play pyro all the time

    ….

    I should though. :I

  7. Vosur on January 8th, 2011 3:58 am

    "If all else fails, use Fire." Guess the Pyro took that advice to heart.

  8. Great_King on January 8th, 2011 4:01 am

    What if it doesn't die?

  9. AubviusTroll on January 8th, 2011 4:02 am

    "Hudda Hudda Huh!" in the ancient Pyronian language roughly translates to "It's as easy as a flowchart"

  10. Great_King on January 8th, 2011 4:02 am

    KILL IT WITH FIRE ON MOTORCYCLES?

  11. Nyoron on January 8th, 2011 4:11 am

    Acient Pyro flowchart says man who burns shall be killed with fire!

  12. TheLoneLemon on January 8th, 2011 4:16 am

    Solution: Burn everything

  13. Ichiinu on January 8th, 2011 4:23 am

    They forgot the part that says

    "Does it shoot a large projectile?"
    —>No: Kill it with FIRE
    —>Yes: Airblast the projectile. Is it dead yet? —> No: Kill it with FIRE

  14. Dimomarg on January 8th, 2011 5:06 am

    what about hammer drum parties?

  15. Edeye on January 8th, 2011 6:57 am

    Kill all sons of b*tches
    That is my official instruction.

    Oh yeah and never let go of the fire button..

  16. _Twitch_ on January 8th, 2011 7:03 am

    Use more gun.

  17. _Twitch_ on January 8th, 2011 7:04 am

    Naturally.
    *Snorting laughter*

  18. _Twitch_ on January 8th, 2011 7:05 am

    that's too skilled for most pyro players.
    Pyro's easy to play, but it takes a little experience to play well.

  19. _Twitch_ on January 8th, 2011 7:08 am

    Ellis edition grammer hammer!
    *'Ficial*
    need to learn to speak hick, mate! XD

    Nowadays you can do the general tf2 flowchart:

    Are you trading hats?

    No: Stop playing the worlds finest hat trading mmorpg.
    Yes: Carry on playing the worlds finest hat trading mmorpg.

  21. Caelun_Niveus on January 8th, 2011 9:41 am

    NO

  22. nemb94 on January 8th, 2011 10:01 am

    or fire in this case

  23. Twilizer on January 8th, 2011 10:22 am

    DOUSE IT WITH WATER ON FIRETRUCKS!!

  24. Alpar on January 8th, 2011 10:28 am

    I HAVE HAD IT WITH THESE MOTHER@#$%ING MOTORCYCLE JOKES IN MY MOTHER@!#^ING HALOLZ.

  25. RespectfulGlove on January 8th, 2011 10:46 am

    I'm sorry to inform you all, but this only applies to a Pyro without a obligations of being a Utility Pyro, unlike myself. The definition of Utility Pyro refers to any Pyro that places Homewrecking sappers or extinguishing team-mates on fire at a higher priority rather than to kill things with fire. Of course, this could only mean that unless one is a mediocre Pyro or a back-burning one, this flowchart is quite inaccurate.

    Disregard that I will still hunt down and burn anything that touches my glove to the depths of hell and back.

  26. FrEEz on January 8th, 2011 12:08 pm

    How come I never notice this stop-playing-and-trade-hats thing? Maybe because I play on european servers o_O?

  27. TheTopHatKid on January 8th, 2011 12:21 pm

    ):<

  28. TheTopHatKid on January 8th, 2011 12:23 pm

    Are you trading hats?

    Yes: Carry on playing the worlds finest hat trading mmorpg.
    No: Start trading hats.

    Fix'd

  29. Barry Allen on January 8th, 2011 1:18 pm

    Win.

  30. Assassin Troll on January 8th, 2011 1:29 pm

    Kill it with fire is also an answer for "What do you do with witches?"

  31. Zyquux on January 8th, 2011 3:09 pm

    MOTORCYCLE JOKES IN HALOLZ?!

  32. Zyquux on January 8th, 2011 3:11 pm

    Cheers.
    *Cigarette flick*

  33. DM1293 on January 8th, 2011 4:25 pm

    Is it on fire? (Yes) —> Apply Axtinguisher Until Dead
    Is it dead and a spy? (Yes) —-> Spaz out with flamethrower to make sure entire area is both on fire and the spy is dead.
    Do you have the Intel? (Yes) —-> What the hell are you doing reading this flowchart, You're obviously too skilled to play Pyro you noob. Go home and be a soldier man!

  34. Wetmang on January 8th, 2011 4:58 pm

  35. Ichiinu on January 8th, 2011 6:47 pm

    Halolz on motorbikes?

  36. Ichiinu on January 8th, 2011 6:49 pm

    BUILD A BRIDGE OUT OF HER!

  37. Ichiinu on January 8th, 2011 6:57 pm

    Oh and don't forget:
    Is it far away?
    —> Yes —> Kill it with FLARE
    —> No —> Kill it with FIRE

  38. BasketGT on January 8th, 2011 7:39 pm

    Motorbikes on Halolz?

  39. Darth_Destro on January 8th, 2011 8:03 pm

    No. Just….No.

  40. JesterJoe on January 8th, 2011 9:02 pm

    Well, first you gotta make sure…
    Does she float?

  41. JesterJoe on January 8th, 2011 9:04 pm

    Or, better yet, play pyro using a driving game controller, setting the gas pedal as W and M1, and drive around.

  42. JuanACookie on January 8th, 2011 9:36 pm

    I'd imagine the spy flowchart would reach the ceiling.

    demoman would be:
    Are you demopan/demoknight/Talibanman?
    Y-charge toward whatever moves and demopan then run away while spamming grenades
    N-continue
    Are You on defense?
    Y-spam stickies
    N-spam grenades

  43. ReploidArmada on January 8th, 2011 9:56 pm

    I'm glad he did not take Zelda 2's other main piece of advice to heart as well:

    I am Error.

  44. ReploidArmada on January 8th, 2011 10:00 pm

    My flowchart would be as follows:

    Are you a demoman?

    Yes: Continue
    No: Respawn as Demoman

    Are you alive?

    Yes: Recklessly charge the enemy with grenade launcher
    No: Wait until true

  45. Bo Riley on January 8th, 2011 10:54 pm
  46. DM1293 on January 9th, 2011 12:50 am

    Are you using a backburner? (Yes) —> Run at full tilt with your flamethrower blazing until you die.
    Are you using the Degreaser? (Yes) —-> Immediately forget where ammo boxes are.
    Are you using the Power Jack? (Yes) —-> Why the hell aren't you using the axtinguisher?
    Do you have a medic? (Yes) —-> Do you have air blasting? (No) —-> Wonder why your medic dies a lot as you charge forward. <—— (No) Did you airblast him when you saw a pyro in the area attacking?

  47. DM1293 on January 9th, 2011 12:51 am

    I approve of this man's correct pronunciation of official matters. ('FICIAL SEAL OF APPROVAL)

  48. Zyquux on January 9th, 2011 2:02 am

    [THIS JUST GOT STAMPED BY MY BUDDY KEITH]

  49. JesterJoe on January 9th, 2011 2:41 am

    Do you have the caber?
    Yes-Put on charging Targe and lol around.
    No-Go get one.

    Don't have a charging targe? Then sneak around, get behind people, blow them up, and quickly say "ssssssssssssssssssss"

  50. TCC on January 9th, 2011 9:25 am

    actually based on my original comment I would have to say that I have a pretty damn good idea of how hard other strategies are… :\

  51. Vabolo on January 9th, 2011 9:41 am

    I hope this thing works

  52. Dracojounin7 on January 9th, 2011 10:42 am

    Seriously, what's with all the people talking about laptops sucking for TF2? I'm BETTER with a laptop.

  53. Dracojounin7 on January 9th, 2011 10:46 am

    Soldier''s actually easy. If you want a class that takes skill, pick any Support class.

  54. EddRazzell on January 9th, 2011 11:37 am

    Hats: The cancer that is killing tf2

    It's more likely than you think. Click rel="nofollow">here for a free Motorcycle check.

  56. ZenDragoon on January 9th, 2011 2:39 pm

    Either get out of the water or use the rake.

  57. ZenDragoon on January 9th, 2011 2:41 pm

    Waitaminute….shouldn't you be first Barry Allen?

  58. Frankenstrat247 on January 9th, 2011 3:36 pm

    well at least now we know the nationality of the pyro…poor and irish

  59. Zyquux on January 9th, 2011 3:36 pm

    Oh sweet, motorcycles! *click* HEY!

  60. Barry Allen on January 9th, 2011 7:04 pm

    It would hurt my E-Peen sadly.

  61. EternalAzhrei on January 10th, 2011 7:53 pm

    I'd just like to point out that the unfortunate yet inevitable end of the Pyro flowchart is hide. There is no win. There is no end in sight except to hide. If you play Pyro, you can never escape until you hide. Thankfully, there's also no dead option.

    IMMORTAL PYRO!!!!! HUDDA HUDDA HUH!

  62. EternalAzhrei on January 10th, 2011 7:58 pm

    Y: BUILD A BRIDGE OUT OF HER!!!
    N: Check her apartments for Newts to be sure.

    Does her apartment have newts?
    Y: Nurse them back to humanity, then BUILD A BRIDGE OUT OF HER!
    N: Better build that bridge out of tiny tiny rocks.

  63. JesterJoe on January 10th, 2011 8:32 pm

    I play with a laptop, but I think they were referring to if you were using a trackpad instead of a mouse.

  64. Dracojounin7 on January 11th, 2011 8:36 am

    I do use a trackpad.

  65. gheistlich on January 16th, 2011 9:32 pm

    I'm actually the guy who made this, and I have to say, that's a freaking amazing idea, and I'm adding it to the description on its dA page.
    xDDD

  66. gheistlich on January 16th, 2011 9:34 pm

    if you read the description on the dA page (the author link), you'll see I make no bones about the fact that I made this whole thing as a joke, and even titled it "tha_joke.jpg"

    I'm actually a reflect-heavy pyro myself.

  67. gheistlich on January 16th, 2011 9:37 pm

    Me too, that's why I put it in a subroutine box, with flames, and made it red. :>

  68. ZeikHunter on February 8th, 2011 11:03 pm

    I'm being too negative with this. That and it's a blight on my e-peen.
