I damn man, Valve is insane.  I wonder how many people are going to die.

GO SOLIDERRR

[Greiger]

Yea but generally newer players go soldier until they learn the basic game rules.  Making such players easy points for the demonan's maggoty explodies.

You quoteth nonsense! Everyone knows newbies only choose medic / pyro / heavy.

Edit: I always wondered what the soldier actually uses:

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

This is his weapon:


This is an American WW2 bazooka:


This is a Russian RPG:

Definitely an RPG isn't it? But why is the ultrapatriotic soldier using a last century soviet weapon?

 Some people say Soldier is the tutorial for becoming the Demoman. To these people I say:


 I need not say anything. All that needs to be said already has.

[Zai]

I'm not sure if I want the Soldier to get the extra weapon; the 4th Demo weapon may be what makes me want to start playing it more. The 4th Soldier weapon might be like the Razorback; I'll never use it.

But I play Soldier better right now, so I'd probably kill more Demos as Soldier than Soldiers as Demo during this week.

Are there "achievement" servers for this update up yet? As in, demo + soldier only or something like that?

Regardless, I am quite excited.

[PPE:] Umi speaks the truth; new players don't play Soldier too much. I know I didn't start playing Soldier until months after I started playing TF2. It's grown on me since then. But demo has a harder learning curve. Due to there being a curve in its weapons.

[PREDICTION:] They'll give both classes the extra 4th weapon. I'm hoping for this.

I really am excited. The only time I've gotten this excited in the past several years is for TF2 updates. I love this game.

Well. DF too, I guess.

[PPE2:] Soldier doesn't train for Demo. I guess it teaches you to time things, which both classes need, but the curve in the Demo's weapons at various points of charging can't be learned by playing Soldier.

[Tradanbattlan]

True, Soldiers need help. But Demos just arent OP enough

[Zai]

A defensive Demo can be rather funny on 2Fort by plopping stickies on the grate at the entrance to your own side. If people don't wise up and go through the sewers, it can be quite amusing to just sit there as people make the same mistake over and over again. Sentries are probably more effective though, I suppose.

[umiman]

I hope they give pyro the last weapon just to screw with the rest of you.

Bahahaha!

Bahahaha!

That would be hilarious.

[Tradanbattlan]

Demoman is going to win.
This is because only the people with skill play them, and most new players play Soldier.

[Megaman]

I will just watch with my popcorn for now. THe snipers are the true winners,as many people will be demoman or soldier

[SHAD0Wdump]

While I'm on the job, those Demomen are going on the road to becoming slurry!

[Dr. Johbson]

Road slurry. This is confirmed.

[Cheeetar]

Whoever wins, I lose. I never play as soldier or demoman.

[LASD]

Aaagh! I like both of them, what will I do? Will I fight for the "Demo is OP!" people to prevent him from getting a new weapon or will I fight for the better and funner character to win? Will I play with Demo which I'm better at, or Soldier which I have more hours on? Will I beat the other side to death with a shovel or tha bottle o' scrumpy?

The bottle it is! Soldiers, you might have twice the eyes, but after we cyclopses are done with you, there'll be ten of yours lying on the battleground for every one of ours!



Also, the release date is the 17th.
