Demoman update!

[Gryphon Osiris]

Must.... resist.... urge to recreated Sterling Bridge.... and Bannockburn....

SEMPER SCOTIA!!!!!!!!!

 

[M.c.P]

Well, I was expecting a lot of things, certainly. Couldn't tell you what exactly, but I was expecting things.

Not this though. This was certainly weird.

I'm hoping that, the more kills he gets with the Eyelander, the more the Demo glows with an unearthly SCOTTISH AURA of lightning and death. And after the 4th kill he screams "THAR CAN ONLA BE ONE!"

Sword is good idea, but a shield??? Replaces sticky launcher????? What the crap Valve.....

 

[stacksondeck]

Your sig makes me think about epic demo backstabs with the Eyelander. muwaahaha

Scotsman's Resilience or Scotsman's Resolve methinks is the 3rd box.

Some kind of health renewing weapon or something that will buff teammates. The Demoman is a class that leads the charge with motivational shouts and whatnot. Maybe it's a usage weapon like the Sandvitch and Bonk. *shrug*

I can see some interesting things happening with the new Demoman weapons, he's going to become the premier melee class of TF2. The sword giving extra speed and health per kill and the shield keeping him from taking damage from Pyros, Soldiers, and Demos on top of being able to charge enemies. I hope it works somewhat better than the Charger's charge from L4D2 or I am going to RAGE hardcore. Anyone who's played with me knows how much I hate the Charger's hit detection.

I love you valve, you never cease to amaze me. Demoman is now my favorite class.

THERE CAN BE ONLY ONE!

 

[TomBombadil]

Oh dear lord, I literally drooled !!!

Headddds. Headheadheadheadheadheadheadhead.
Sword=good replacement for bottle.

Made with pattern-welded Damascus steel, this melee-slot weapon offers a guaranteed decapitation with every killing blow.

That hidden page in the Saxton Hale comic had a plate with a sword on it...hm...

 

[Sabion]

Oh. Sweet. Bippy...

Lawls

 

[Mr Grip]

It's.... beautiful. :crying:

 

[IrateDonnie]

I'm not impressed with these new unlocks. I have a feeling that for me they'll end up like the Razorback, Axetinguisher,and Bonk...just end up taking space in my backpack. No way would I give up the win-bomb launcher for a shield.

 

[Planeswalker]

I like it.

Most of the updates focused on giving the class either a boost to what they did already, or a similar-yet-useful new kind of playstyle. I think that, since the Demoman and Soldier are both pretty well-balanced overall, Valve is having a lot of silly fun with this one and they took the Demoman in a direction that isn't really expected. A hardcore melee brawler so he can get in everyone's face? Pretty big change from the trap laying grenade spammer .

A while back I suggested an Engineer "weapon" of a 6 pack of brewskis which you could hand out at the front lines to completely replenish health (with the downside that the health receiver had to activate the brewski and puta way their weapon for 2 seconds to drink it. Perhaps Scottish Reserve is similar?

cry sum moar

I have to admit that sandvich is one of the most usefull updates such as the kritskrieg, ubersaw and such in my opinion, it is perfect for heavy/medic combinations, saved them so many times just throwing them a sandvich while they are on fire, or use it for large incoming groups without a med

(yes, I am not always attached to a med lol)

1)and all heavy got was a crappy gun for n00bz and a 2)lunchmeat filled concoction BAH3)???

1)Agree
2)Less medic healing makes my job easier.
3)KGB is good...

Sandvich is the best unlock in the game, and the KGB is a great weapon, cry moar baby heavy.

 

[Akisohida]

I called this. The day the plates showed the sword, I called that the claymore would go to the demo.

And IrateDonnie; No Demo will give up the winbombs for the shield. The winbombs are how most semi-decent demos get kills!

That's not to say winbombing is not hard in its own right, I seem to lack the timing, but it is 100x easier than trying to hit with a pipebomb. No one is going to drop the winbombs just to charge people.

..Though, if you think about it, a health boost and being able to move faster than a SCOUT for short bursts is a good way to get out of a tight spot.

Where's my detpack ?!?
