TF2: Soldier/Demoman update turns into a competition
« on: December 11, 2009, 07:50:15 am »
From the official blog:

"A secret, exclusive seventh weapon has also been developed by the TF2 team. In other words, either the Soldier or the Demo (but NOT both) is walking out of this update with one more weapon than the other. If you want your class to have it, you're going to have to fight for it. The more Demomen you kill as the Soldier class will help ensure the Soldier gets the weapon at the end of the week. The more Soldiers you kill as the Demo will help the Demo class get the exclusive seventh weapon."


How awesome is that?!

I personally can't decide if I want to demoman or soldier to win, but I am certainly going to be playing this weekend :)

Does this apply to all platforms or just the PC version of TF2?

I have no idea. It's just another class update, so if you have received the previous ones...

After some thoughts about it, I think it should be the demo man that gets an extra weapon.  He's the only class in the game that doesn't have a short range shotgun-like weapon. Not sure if the new weapon would be a shotgun-like one - prolly not - but still. I find it hard to kill on short range with the demoman.  Then again, giving him an extra weapon might make him uber. He will sure as hell become more deadly.

Well, this was just about the 4th upgrade - they'll both get the standard 3.

And the demoman just got a sword and shield as the first 2...

Sword and shield if for those that can't aim :)

I'm currently loving the sniper with all those fools running around as Soldier or Demo man..
especially on the map called "Fort"...
