I will add my 2 eurocents: Soldier and Pyro are not newb classes.
Newb Pyros are easy to see:
They don't (or won't) douse your flames if you're on fire.
They run at the enemy full frontal (NO! Flank or come from behind, bottom, or from the top! Corners are your friend!).
They don't spycheck.
They don't stay near the sentries.

And a good soldier is really hard to play against. The demo is admittedly harder to play decently, but to play really well the soldier is harder.

 The soldier is much more dependent on rocket jumps to be really good. Sure demomen jump higher and farther, but the health lost in such stunts makes such jumps in combat useless. Soldiers actually can jump around to confuse their opponents without loosing too much.

Just checked out the server info page, and we managed to keep a game going for at least 14 hours yesterday. Nice work.



As for the WAR:

We are playing this morning. Them demo's are dying in droves. Keep it up soldiers!

[Giant Snowman]

Despite my fearless bombingruns and cornerstickies trickery I fear the soldiers are getting ahead of the demomen. I wonder if the intercom lady predicted this and has a weird surprise ready. Perhaps the bonus item is not all it's cracked up to be.

Also, I have more then doubled my playtime with the demoman today. I can't believe I left him at the sidelines for so long. If you're prepared you can climb the highest mountain!

Maybe I should switch to soldier and intentionally lose like 15,000 lives?

[Greiger]

Bah I was playing demoman because everybody was playing soldier last night so that us wonderful soldiers would get some points.  But I didn't intentionally die, I fought back to the best of my limited demoman ability, I even woefully killed 12 soldiers doing so.

I even used stickytraps and other such evil demoman tactics.  I just usually got dissapointed when soldiers fell for them.

109 demoman deaths at my hands thus far. Fighting the good fight!

Even though this update is fun it is fracturing the community to some extent. I mean I'm finding people not helping out friendly soldiers if there engaged in battle with an enemy demo, (And Vice Versa) and freaking medics who have "declared allegiance" to one side and refusing to heal the other.

I don't get it. Aren't you guys supposed to be fighting for massive mega-corporations wanting to expand their franschies? Why are the BLU and RED corporations suddenly focusing on this stupid civil war between classes?

It appears there is some sort of conspiracy: the administrator(the announcer lady) seems to be working for BOTH sides.

Plus its fun.

The same thing happened with Halos. It will all blow over in a week or two.

I've been thinking this over, and it's a win-win whether Solider gets the new weapon or not.

If Solider gets new weapon:
YEAH WE GOT NEW WERAPON, WE ARW BETTAT THAN UUUUU

If Solider doesn't get new weapon:
LOOK AT YOUR FACER, I I KILLED U EVEN WITH YER NEW GUNNN

[Volatar]

Go Soldiers!
