Hrm... this is Amerrrica and I endorse the idea of a L4D2 style sword of beheading, even if your geography and history isn't up to snuff. Running a bit faster with your melee weapon out would be awesome!
Good point though.

Since when did historical accuracy matter to the soldier? I don't think it does 
, so we could still see that. Although I'm not inclined to believe we will, oh well hopefully we'll know something of what the update entails today :biggrin:

Lol, I'm at school 
, but there was no hidden links yesterday so hopefully they'll wait until I get home, at which point I'll check the forums every few minutes while doing my English paper xD

doing this already XD i love being homeschooled
seriously though its more likely that they'll post something about 6:00 if at all, but even so you never know with Valve, more then likely since they're on the west coast they might not even be at work yet.
also, i hope i dont get taken off to do something today and then its posted :crying: that would just be mean
Man engies are having enough trouble as-is on most maps. I don't want to see the barren wasteland that a soldier vs demo update will create.
As for someone's suggestion of "whichever class gets more kills gets their update first," that's a terrible idea and it would have an obvious outcome. Demo has been the preeminent TF2 class since release, and thus has always and will always get more overall kills. Especially now that like 80% of demos are using rapid fire/detonate scripts.
Oh well, still very much looking forward to any update at all as long as it doesn't involve:
1. knockback
2. stun
3. slowdown
4. increased mobility
We just don't need ANY more of these in TF2.

Oh pretty pretty please :laugh:
can you say "nuke"?
I mean, he is a demolitions guy. It would be possible.
some speculation on my part:
soldier:
rocket launcher replacement:
homing missiles
tracks and homes into enemies, explodes on contact or after 5 seconds
slower than normal rocket launcher
less ammo
shotgun replacement:
hand thrown grenades
its possible than the soldier will actually use the grenades already attached to his body. They are present in every "meet the.." and in the game it self, it's only a matter of time until he uses them.
Similar to demo's grenades, except no power shooting. Can only adjust angle of throw for distance.
shovel replacement:
sword
faster swing
capable of disabling limbs, ex. a hit to the leg will slow down or stop enemy, a hit to arms/torso disables use of weapon, etc
capable of "knighting" allies (touching ally on shoulders with sword), which gives "knighted" ally a speed and weapon boost
disabled limbs can be healed normally with health packs or medics
I can't really say much about the demo. I haven't played much as him.
but how about this:
demo:
replacement for all weapons (this one weapon replaces all 3 weapons)
Nuke
kills all, including allies, within 10000 yard radius
causes all to be blind for next 5 deaths regardless of server/map change
causes permanent random mutations in random surviving entities on field
causes all hats being worn by dead to be deleted
can only carry one at a time
slows down carrier, slower than heavy
causes server to crash due to "frame buffer overflow"
causes people still running vista to crash with blue screen of death
causes random name changes
causes random hat/item spawning

You noticed more than I did
As far as where they are and such. I forgot about the spy too. That explains a lot actually.

Looks like the pyro loses
What? The Soldier and Demo may be as powerful a Thereven says...
But the Pyro is god.

No no no no... Homing missiles have been suggested many times and they are still a bad idea, why eliminate all skill from the class? And they will never add grenades back in. Oh and the sword seems incredibly overpowered an idea.
