I got it by standing in the vent entrance on Turbine. When you Hadouken! from there, the camera glitches above the vent and you can just about see, seconds before it happens, the head of the soon-to-be-toasty. It's not noble, but it got the job done.

I got it with a Scout. A certain amount of luck (he really should not have used the bat) but man did it feel awesome.

I did, Eddie! That was that kill against Horrible Oscar - who's since read this, by the way, and apologises for contributing to the invalidity of my efforts. God damn that man's a gent.

But it doesn't count toward the achievement unless you do it before the round is up, so no dice. Bupkis!

@CloakRaider, I've been wondering about that. One of the pyro achievements seems silly, as compared to the rest which are do-able, the one where he flicks a cigarette and you ignite him. I'm wondering if there will be a spy pack soon, or at least a update to make one(or more) of his taunts insta-kill, my bet is on the cigarette-flick. The knife is too-much like a back-stab, although Valve may do both.

I got most of the achievements with friends, and didn't have any fun trying to get them legitimately. (Though there are still a bunch left even though I've gotten all the weapons)

Oh well, next time I'll do all of them for realz.

Oh, and your post about the gnome run was a good read, I should go back and replay Ep. 2 with the gnome.

Aye, this achievement gives you an insane amount of pride. Especially if you get it legit. It's also the most crushing blow to someone's self esteem. You were killed by the mere act of someone taunting at you.

Good to do to snipers though, especially if they hear it, turn around just in time to see the fire smash into them and hurl them away. Now all we need is the spy's fencing taunt to do slashing damage...

Awesome read man. Glad you got it. A belated tip but you can always try to get it after a round if you win, a lot of times the other team just doesn't move, just gotta get to them before your teammates blow their heads off.

Good read as ever; a lot of these Pyro Achievements are fun to attempt, even beyond OMGWTFBBQ. It's no coincidence that I went through both the first and second Milestones the same day that my former girlfriend broke up with me; burning things is massively therapeutic.

And in the game.

I got mine on an engineer on well, who was for some odd reason standing around in the sniper battlements, not building sentries, not moving. Just pistoling my teammates as they rushed in.

Hands down best use of the taunt ever though was on dustbowl, we just took the second area, and one of the pyros on the losing team got one off on a medic of ours, managing a kill with no weapons.

Thank god for that, just spent the better part of 2 hours trying to get it legitimately.

Finally got it, on a sniper, as he was defending the cap on Goldrush.

Putting the radio onto the classical station rounds off the spree nicely, I find.

It's surprisingly cathartic, isn't it? Killing hundreds with a bus, I mean. After a couple of really shitty missions in GTA IV, I just stole one and ploughed through Algonquin until it set fire. In a lesser chariot, that'd mean a minute or two. This took half an hour, and destroyed more cars than the IRA.

PLaying GTA3 a few years ago, I got into a boat and the random in-game MP3 player started playing 'Boatman' by The Levellers. I was so pleased I went on to kill hundreds of people with a bus.

WTF Did I say truth? I meant proof.

Sadly, I don't have any truth, but I swear I just started playing Disco Inferno through hlss(Half Life Sound Selector) and was messing about when I taunted this friendly scout beside me. He was a spy. The moment he died it went 'Burn, baby, burn!'

That's interesting, Puffins. I don't have that Baby Oil style effect in mine (everything has a matt finish) so I save enough on performance to have quite good texture settings. Maybe you can turn off the shine to improve in other areas?

In fact, it'll be replayed every second, twenty-four hours a day, until this post scrolls off the front page.

@ WeakLemonDrink: I'm using DX9, but to get frame-rates approaching acceptability I have to push the detail down until it looks like this. Got OMGWTFBBQ on cp_well taking out a Sniper, almost got the same guy again in exactly the same place but he'd already developed a Pavlovian reaction to the Pyro taunt sound and moved out of the way.
