I don't like it when unlockables aren't relevant to the class. I've entered the propaganda contest. I know I won't win anything, but...

Both are parodies of British WWII posters.

The Demos unlockables are totally relevant. He's Scottish. The Scottish had haunted swords and specialty utrbo charge shields. Duh.

I'm gonna go out on a limb here and assume his last unlockable will be proximity mines or something close to those.That or a MIRV type weapon.

EDIT: I'm willing to guess that they unveiled the Demo updates early specifically to get more Soldiers killed and make it more neck and neck.

I thought that to. Pitty it's now neck and neck anyway.

That hidden page had a sword in it. I'm guessing the Bugle will be for the Soldier.

Exactly. I've been resisting hard to play Demoman - those two unlockables sound great. Imagine a melee server with Demomen-with-swords-and-shields only...

Also, this, if you haven't already seen:
The Direct Hit

I meant relevant to the class. What has speed boosting got to do with blowing stuff up? The shield's going to make sticky jumping a viable tactic, though. Has anyone found any crafting blueprints?

I don't think we can Craft yet. When the update comes....

Mac Sirloin 12-16-2009 01:21 PM

Wait, what bugle? Where?

I liked the soldier weapon quite a bit.

YAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAY! Soldier wins! I really like the sound of the soldier's direct hit rocket launcher.

I had the luck to meet a Direct Hit rocket from the receiving end. The Eyelander too. Didn't have time to realise what killed me, it was so quick. I don't possess any of the new stuff yet, but the time will come. With all these Achievements, playing Demoman and Soldier will be much more fun that before. Had a good run as Demo this morning on Granary CP. 'twas epic.

Also, crafting is on now. Already have Scrap Metal and a Heavy token. Good thing I never deleted all those Sandmans and Sandwiches...

I wonder if the Demo would have got the same secret weapon if they won?

Crashpunk 12-18-2009 04:35 AM

The Soldier won! Hurray! best news i've heard all day!

I love the Soldier's New weapons. the new Rocket Launcher and the flag
VICTORY!

MeechMunchie 12-18-2009 05:35 AM

Crafting looks good. I'm gonna get me a fedora.

I read on the Steam forums that a mapper had seen both in action, and the Demo has a different one. He thought it was cooler.
