*NEW* Pyro Weapons Released this weekend
The first Pyro unlockable is The Flare Gun, which replaces the shotgun. It allows the Pyro to ignite an enemy at long range, but does require careful aim on their part. It’s particularly useful for causing havoc on Snipers and Engineers who want to keep their distance.
The second Pyro unlockable is The Backburner. This flamethrower is built for the Pyro who likes to ambush their opponents. It removes the compression blast capability, instead guaranteeing critical hits whenever it’s used on an opponent from behind. To aid in survivability, it grants the Pyro an extra fifty health.
The third Pyro unlockable is The Axtinguisher. This mighty axe guarantees critical hits on any enemy that’s currently on fire, although it’s significantly weaker against enemies who aren’t. A great combination with the The Flare Gun, or with another Pyro buddy riding alongside doing the igniting.
Alternatively for the Steam version follow this link: http://www.steampowered.com/pyro/
EDIT: They will also be adding a feature to the first flamethower.
It can be found in this paragraph:
In addition to the three unlockable Pyro weapons, we've made a significant addition to the base Pyro flamethrower. By hitting the alt-fire key, the Pyro is able to produce a blast of compressed air that knocks enemies away, and redirects enemy projectiles. It’s a highly versatile tool, allowing Pyros to get away from nearby enemies after igniting them, to kill enemy soldiers with their own rockets, or to separate enemy Medics from their healing targets. In particular, it allows a skilled Pyro to contain an enemy invulnerability push, and even to separate the Medic completely if the surrounding terrain supports it.
EDIT EDIT: It should also be noted that installation of the game this weekend is free and the trial will last until the end of the 22nd of June.

Re: *NEW* Pyro Weapons Released this weekend
In addition to the new weapons and achievements being added this weekend, there are also some new maps. Information in these paragraphs:
CP_Fastlane
created by Arttu "skdr" Mäki
A control point map with five points, in the style of Badlands. Its symmetrical layout provides for high-speed and well balanced gameplay, while the multiple indoor routes, connected to larger outdoor arenas, provide a wide set of interesting and varied combat spaces. The arena-style control points require solid teamwork to capture and hold.
CTF_Turbine
created by Bill Johnston
A CTF map inside a large industrial compound. It's clean and straightforward, making it easy to learn, but its well balanced layout ensures there are still a wide variety of strategic choices for teams to make, and for individual classes to shine. Competitive teams and players have already popularized this one.
EDIT: Again for images and a better more official explanation go to this url.

Re: *NEW* Pyro Weapons Released this weekend
It's happened to almost every multiplayer shooter, but I never once thought it would happen to TF2.
The day that you can become better than someone else in a game with money or achievements, is the day the game is ruined. I'll still play, but it just won't be as fun.

I was but just didn't say anything. Hopefully it'll even out like sports says.
