this should be fun for spies too :D anyway...what i think its going to be is a new gamemode: KILL SAXON HALE! both teams lose instantly
 
So I was thinking about some of the stuff the Solly could have, and here's what I came up with

Maggot Muncher
Level 5 Rocket Launcher
A special designed Rocket Launcher that was unintentionally used to burn down much of the Vietnamese jungle. This mighty sucker packs an extra wide exhaust port to compensate for the massive outburst of flame this mighty rocket fires. Not only does it shoot a massive payload that has 1 1/2 times the explosive radius of the regular rocket launcher, but it also fires a jet of flame behind the user, igniting any unfortunate souls who may wander behind him.
150% Larger Damage Radius
Jet of flame ignites anyone behind the Soldier
Less Damage.
-3 Ammo Capacity.

This gun is designed to provide the Soldier with more damage radius, but he sacrifices ammo count and damage for it. Each rocket does about 25% less damage, but has a much larger damage radius, allowing more damage to each character. This damage radius also provides the Soldier a slightly higher rocket jump. The jet of flame is specifically designed to discourage spies, or at least to make them hesitate while you fire the rocket, possibly allowing a teammate to take them out.

TAUNT - Same as Rocket Launcher

-------------------------------------------

Sun Tzu's Samurai Sword
Level 15 Katana

The Soldier, known for his love of war, trained in the samurai arts. He found however, that its teachings of peace and calm emotions didn't sit well with the his "Shoot First, Shoot Second, Shoot Again, and When Everyone's Dead Try to Ask A Question or Two" attitude. This didn't stop the Soldier from keeping his master's katana (after shoveling his skull in of course), supposedly once wielded by Sun Tzu himself. Too bad he doesn't know that it was actually just a useless novelty weapon that could be bought at any souvenir shop. This doesn't stop the Soldier from remembering his teachings while using it, making him a fair bit faster in the process.
Movement Speed Increases to 100% when wielded.
Reduced Damage

This weapon is designed to (obviously) make the Soldier a bit faster, allowing him to catch up to some of his pray a bit quicker.

TAUNT - "Showdown" - The soldier swings his sword in samurai style, one diagonally across the chest the other horizontally across the torso in rapid succession. This causes his opponent to take a small amount of damage and become stunned. The soldier then does a "Samurai Sheath" and when the sword hits the sheath, the affected player falls apart in gibs. He may also say his "Maggots" line when the sword locks in place.

I'll work on a shotgun analogue in a bit. Hope you guys like it.
 
Got some more here.
"We've got something coming, but it's not a new game mode. The key to understanding the new sound files is to figure out who's hearing them in-game, and who isn't."

That comes from Robin Walker.
 
I foresee new weapons for demo and soldier that directly go against each other, hence the 'war', etc. I don't know what is going to happen, but it must involve the two going against each other, (obviously)

Those would actually be awesome.
 
I'm happy whether it's a soldier or demo update (or something else entirely) Soldier & demo are two of my most played classes.:biggrin:

HAHAHA Definitely seems to have set up for the Demoman vs Soldier update.

I mean, the Announcer telling Pauling to contact Hale! Also saying that "nothing kills a friendship faster than a healthy competition". Definitely an update! I look forward to seeing the new weapons and possible game mode!

Oh and when I first saw the post on the TF2 blog, I nearly had a heart attack.
 
Also, if you notice this is taking place when the spy breaks into the blue base and the announcer knows who the spy is disguised as and yet doesnt tell anyone. She speaks to both teams as well. In another pic, the soldier and demo are on badwater and then on gravel pit. The assistants response is weird at best when asked about friendships...she goes from saying skating to looking at gun catalogs and then saying sometimes we just talk, im wondering if the assistant is the pyro seeing as the pyro never made an appearance in the meet the spy vid. Lastly, isnt Saxton Hale the person that sent the pics for the new spy and sniper weapons, perhaps suggesting a new weapon comming for both demo and soldier, money is no object remember. Just causing more speculation ;)

You noticed more than I did O.o

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

Well in terms of manliness... Saxton Hale makes Chuck Norris look like Strawberry Shortcake. He's Paul Hogan on steroids. He's got a NOIF this big *gestures*
