I hope this isn't true: (From a post on csnation.net) I was just browsing the Something Awful forums a bit before I head off to bed, when I came across a few interesting posts by Valve's Adrian Finol in a Team Fortress 2 thread. I'll just let him break it down for you.
The shotgun/flaregun taunt now does damage, yes. And I should add that getting this achievement was one of the most rewarding things I've done in the game (hint: pair with a medic with invul and ambush someone in the vents in ctf_turbine). When asked if it would be an instakill or just a small damage attack, the response was a firm "instakill." Here's a bit more info for those of you, like me, who didn't read all of the achievement descriptions from the Pyro update page<http://www.steampowered.com/pyro/?pw=presspreview>. The above achievement icon actually corresponds to the "taunt" achievement and yes, it is actually called the "OMGWTFBBQ" achievement. Making the pyro's taunt an instakill is a ridiculous idea.
