Its all demos + soldiers vs. demos and soldiers

Anyway since when did the Scots have brown skin and afros?

Just wait a month for the update spam to settle. Happens every SINGLE update.

Demo is Valve's sense of humor.

Agree with Fett, eat a teaspoon of cement and etc etc.

I enjoy having teams mostly demo/soldier/medic 2355023x more than having engy, pyro and heavy dominate, the latter makes for boring games.

Any half decent pyro with the airblast can stop a sword swinging demo in their tracks.
Flame, airblast, axetinguisher, profit??

Fattie stops them dead in their tracks as they are not bullet proof

I am loving the upgrades for soldier. Now that demo's have a decent melee weapon as well it is great to get into melee fights with them. But I really, really wish other players would let us melee. I have being in a melee fight with some to then get owned by a rocket.

Oh and I wish they would fix that bug that stops you from joining any team and locks you in spectator mode.

That is all

No sight sweeter coming around a corner spun up than to see a demo with a sword out thinking he is close enough to get to you. Whats better is when they die at your feet. Gives them a false sense of hope

The bottle WAS a decent melee weapon. Running around smashing people in the face with the bottle is epic fun. The sword is good fun too though, but I still prefer the bottle, lol.

Direct hit and Buff Banner are awesome, thought the amount of times I've been killed by the equalizer by a Solly on 1 health is frustrating.

Chargin' Targe is good when used with the sword, but that's really the only reason to use it. Scottish Resistance takes a while to get used to, but once you do, it's pretty fun to camp in 2-3 places at once.

Overall, I like the updates and when it settles down, I can go back to playing Demo/Medic :P

Yeah I thought the bottle was okay but I found most of the demomen I came up against would never use it and would prefer to back peddle and spam nades at me while I'm running at them with a baseball bat or shovel. At least now they stop and fight with a sword. Melee combat is so much fun

The demoman isn't really a 'demoman' when he has a sword and shield as his main weapons.

But he is a Demoman. He is demonstrating how to KICK YOUR ARSE

Good.

It's been a nice change actually being able to fight other people in TF2 recently. Too often it just becomes about building ubers and destroying sentries. It's a vastly better game with no (or very few) sentries.

As for the demo changes, Valve are just trying to get people to do something other than use the stickies as their primary weapon. If you want to play the demo how you always have there is nothing stopping you.

Couldn't agree more. It feels so disjointed now when playing when I see that shit.

Why couldn't Valve just give the demoman a sticky dynamite bundle, in which he can stick to players, then watch their heads pop off? Much more fitting than a sword and shield.

EDIT: Or even a "hot potato" like weapon, where players are thrown said dynamite, and have like, 8 seconds to throw it at another one of their team mates, until it blows? ... etc ;_;

I still play engie. And if anything i'm doing better than i had been. In fact i have topped the servers quite a few times. But i put that down to less spies more than there being less stickies.

Lol so one of your teammates is going to die, you just have to fight between yourselves to find out who that will be??? I like it.

But make the blast radius big enough that it can kill both if they're standing too close together :>

[BurningFeetMan]

Exactly. Now you guys are thinking on my wave length... It's hard to wonder just how exactly Valve came to the conclusion of a sword and shield... rather than some kick arse modern explosives device... or even just a silly demolition related device.
