The Flamer's Fiddle
Well-made taunt. But the thing is...
It doesn't resemble the Pyro at all. And don't bring up that history crap, thats a terrible reference. It would be super-funny if it was all-class and each of them had unique ways of playing. Like Engi would play "The Yellow Rose of Texas" and Medic played a german song, like "Erika". Soldier played "Yankee Doodle Dandy", along side him holding a shotgun and firing it off in the end. It would be much funnier and cooler that way. Maybe Demoman doing a old scottish song and him burping and sipping his bottle and almost falling over and thats the end of his taunt. Maybe Heavy doing "Kalinka" or "Katyusha" before he accidently breaks the fiddle and throws it to the ground.


Please, Winglet. Make this happen.

I meant in, the current state of the taunt does not resemble the class and lore of Pyro. Burn marks, maybe some pieces removed from some fire. Some black on it, then maybe.

I agree with that actually. If it does get added I wouldn't be surprised if Valve changed the textures to add burn marks.

I absolutly love this taunt and i would buy it if it gets added, only if the burn marks and at the end he accidently breaks the string and its goes out of tune
You do realize that not *every* taunt has to be all-class, right?

Err, yes good sir. I do know that. I just think this one would be great if it was. Im not saying all taunts should be all-class. I don't know what you read in my suggestion that claims so...But OK.

Before we got Meet the Pyro, nobody suspected a trigger-happy ball of combos and death was actually trying to spread rainbows and candy-filled glee around the world.

"Doesn't resemble Pyro"
Pyro is a mysterious maniac, and I don't know about you, but I've seen some maniacal people play violin-like instruments.
Think of it as a way to balance out the madness with a sweet song.

How does this prove any point? Of course no one did. But this still doesn't resemble pyro.

To think of it, I think that is a bad excuse. Im just giving a suggestion. I don't know why people are absolutely T R I G G E R E D from it. I mean, its just seven words and people are attacking me for it.

In its current state it doesn't fit Pyro very well. If its textures were changed to have some burn marks on the fiddle and or the fiddle played menacing or goofy music it would very much fit the Pyro. The music part is Valves decision though because they change the music for every music taunt they add.

First thing, I agree. Valve should change the textures on the fiddle. And yes, if this does get added, it should not have the music used. Having it play somethig menacing and then something goofy in Pyrovision would be nice.

Second thing, musical taunts that Valve add have their music changed because the music wasn't made by the taunt creator, and the music could be copyrighted or some ♥♥♥♥. For example, the music from Meet The Sniper was Magnum force, a copyrighted song. It didn't appear in TF2's soundtrack because it'd be illegal, which led to many people being confused.
