TF2 War Update

[Mephasto]

I bet demoman is going to win, top 5 players are allways demo :p also on most servers i have played, it has 2-3 class limit on demo and no limit on soldier.

my highscore with demo: 38
my highscore with soldier: 28

I'm wondering if the fourth unlock will be a hand-thrown grenade of some kind, because they could both thematically obtain and use a thrown explosive. Demoman's grenade launcher already fills that role for the Demoman, but perhaps this special weapon would replace his melee weapon. Similar story with the Soldier, the grenades would replace the shovel.

I think a cookable, hand-tossed grenade would be an interesting and believable fourth unlock.

DemoMan is either the worst class in the game, or completely broken depending on who is playing it. There is no in-between. In unskilled hands (Obviously Valve's playtester group) it's clumsy and hard to get many kills.

To someone with even the slightest bit of experience it's nearly unstoppable that can kill more than 1/2 of all the other classes with 1 sticky, 1-2 stickies not even close to an engineer's equipment can kill any full ranked item. (1 for everything but level 3 sentry, which is 2) So incredibly unbalanced it's far past being funny.

Which is annoying as that's how something being overpowered always works, game devs refusing to let talented people beta-test instead only relying on lowest common denominator.

Demomen will easily win this by a very very large margin if only 1/3rd the amount of competent demomen as competent soldiers log on. No contest what so ever.

Decided to stop my 2 month break and play a bit of TF2 to clear my head from uni stuff and get back into the rhythm before the update. Killed 107 demoman while I was at it

From servers I played on Soldiers are owning demos badly, although really hard to judge which class will win this. I suppose we'll have a better clue after the first day total kill counts are posted.

Either way I think this already is another win for Valve- they actually managed to find a way to attract people to the game, even before the additional update is released. Their ingenuity never seizes to amaze me

As for the special weapon, I also think that it will be a sort of a melee (maybe the fish from those friendship photos in the comic ) but not knowing which class gets it I doubt it has any real gameplay affecting role.

Oh, and Soldier FTW

I'm an avid demo player and it's amazing how much more exciting this competition has made things... every time a soldier appears i hunt him down mercilessly :O

1,390,017 demos dead.

1,290,988 soldiers dead.

4th weapon - class related grenade taped to a remote control car. (Disclaimer: this is what I want the 4th weapon to be, not what it actually is)

Please don't let this descend into a thread of trolling like the entirety of the Steam User Forums.

But this is WAR. Trolling is a legitimate strategy.

I want the Demos to be raging at my comments, not paying attention to where my rockets are going :\
