Hey, A month ago I thought up of this idea, and I think it would make n EXECELLENT Pyro weapon. Hopefully Valve will make more Pyro updates, because I think it suits the Pyro well. Here is a crappy photo I made describing the 4th Pyro unlockable. The oilcan.
You can also shoot your flare gun on it from far distances and since oil floats on water, you can finally flame the water. The oil can either: Take away from your Pyro's Flamethrower ammo, or have its own ammo. What do you think? Feel free to post your weapon ideas too!

That's actually not that bad of an idea. Though it makes the demo a little less useful, it doesn't obsolete him because he can detonate anywhere, and the pyro needs to be close to it (igniting it with the flare gun would be cheap though). |

I think that's the dumbest idea ever.
No, I'm kidding. It's completely GENIUS. I'd PAY to see that in an update.  |

Water is useless. K, so they go through the oil floating on the water. You light it, they burn for a bit, but they're in the water, so they get like 10 health taken away after being quenched. |

But a lot of the time, previously-ignited people only make it into the water with a TINY amount of health left. It's perfect for finishing people off. |

Jumping into the water and shooting them would be waaaay more effective. I guess you'd have to trade your ability to light the oil up from a distance, though. |

I like it. You could fill a hallway with this stuff and then ignite it . |

First I'd like to say that before the Pyro gets anymore updates the *crag* Spy needs some new shit because Pyros are running amuck like crazy now.
But as it stands I like this idea.
You would have to limit the time a bit more, and probably the amount of oil you can have out at one time. Otherwise you will render all other classes except engie completely useless for defense. |

I agree. The Spy is my main, and I hate triggerhappy Pyro's. D: WE NEED MOAR SPY WEAPONS. |

I don't really care for the game, but simply from the fact that it's oil... doesn't oil make people slip?  |

In Nintendo games maybe. But what happens if you throw a lighted match on oil IRL? |

I thought it'd be better if the pyros gust of air would put out flames on other team mates. |

That's not really an unlockable. But more of an added feature. Like the Heavy's taunt-kill. Nonetheless that would be a useful feature. |

oil is both slippery and flammable.
There's no rule saying it can't have both effects. |

The compression blast is a burst of propane.
In all honesty, it wouldn't do shit.
Then again, this is a game... |
