Dario tells us that what the demoman gets is way cooler than what the Soldier gets, implying its not the same weapon.

From TF2Maps.net

Dario Casali, from Valve (The mapper for Goldrush, Badwater, Pipeline, Nova Prospekt) says the demoman gets a cooler weapon, whose side are you on?

I'm going to go Demo, just because everyone else is going to go soldier.:cool:
 
well...i may have voted for soldier, but thats only because i play him a little more then Demo, i really am not sure so far, So far though i have 9x more contribution on the Demo side then the Soldier side, simply because EVERYONE is playing soldier.

i personally think i'll be more of a demo person. but that may change

They'll have to bury what's left of ya in a SOUP CAN!

Er, whatever.

Anyway, I'll do my best to help the demos, cause it's kind of a ripoff - it's easier for soldiers to kill demos than for demos to kill soldiers. They might as well have a contest between demos and engies :P
 
Black Scottish cyclops will prevail! Cheers to all who side with the Demomen!

Not true. Soldiers have to go out there and find targets that can shoot back. A demoman can sit in one spot and plant down enough stickies to out damage any class and then wait for people to walk by.

The soldier has to work for his kills, the demoman waits for his kills to come to him, IMO.

At least, that's how I always see it. I have died to stickies 15-20 times for every pipe bomb death, as demos spawncamp, hide in corners, and winbomb by spamming/detting one sticky at a time when confronted. >.>
 
While that is one possible way to play, Demoman that do only that usually don't contribute jack to their team's cause and rarely top the scoreboard, in my experience... That really only seems to be the case with Demomen, or any power class for that matter, on unbalanced maps like 'Mesa.

I play Egypt more than anything, usually as Spy or Demo, and when I'm playing Demoman I'm usually out front leading the charge more often than the rest of my team, which is why I regularly top the scoreboard and my team usually wins. :)

Soldier might move slower, but there's less chance of missing with a rocket at close range than a pipe bomb, especially when you've got a shotgun there to finish the person off rather than scrambling with long reload times, like the Demo has to do with both weapons.
