The Scottish Resistance
More stickies with a slower rate but a more intelligent way of activating them? I like this, I really do. Can't wait to see how it's used in battle. The fact that, apparently, the Demoman now has to stay within line of sight in order to activate the winbombs is a Good Thing... the only thing more annoying than being sniped by somebody 2 miles away is being detonated by stickes either randomly activated or triggered by somebody grabbing the flag. I know some great tactical demomen who will love this.
The Equalizer
I will so be equipping this... if and when Valve designes to give me one at random. As I usually use my trenching tool as a last resort (I play Soldier for the giblets, Mister!), this fits in exactly for how I would use the item. Also, I like the idea of...
1) Rocket jumping twice to move fast, taking damage...
2) Pulling out the Equalizer for the speed boost...
3) Then bathing in the healing light of a medic or dispenser at the front lines.
I'm looking at you, Warpath.
The Buff Banner
Oh, I like this alot as well. Now, instead of just hanging around for the Medics to charge, you'll be getting that soldier up as well, so you can have a dual ubered mini crit buffed charge into the Intel room. I like this alot.
Looks like you lose your shotgun... but again, I play Soldier for the Gibs!

A complaint
"Worth a Thousand Words" refers to a Soldier taunt of "21 Gun Salute." Now, I can't really hold the Soldier to military tradition, because he made up all his medals, but a 21-Gun Salute is a Naval Vessel Salute using either ship mounted cannon or land based cannon. What Soldiers receive during funerals is the Three Volley Salute, where an odd number of members, 3-7 of them, fire three volleys of blanks into the air.
While 7 members firing 7 rifles 3 times is indeed 21 shots, the "Gun" in "21 Gun Salute" is using the naval term for artillery pieces.
A question
TF2 has changed quite a bit in the 6 months I was unable to play; the Soldier achievement "Spray of Defeat" refers to gibbing a player with a grenade... when did the Soldier's grenades stop being costume props? Or is that a hint to a future update?
