|
|
So: how is the War update different from our other class updates?
In many ways, it's not. Like any other class update, the War update will reveal three new weapons each for the Demoman and Soldier throughout the week, as well as some maps, achievements, and surprises, right up until the day of release, when everything we've been teasing goes live.
Where the War update differs from other class updates is that we've decided to mix things up a little with, as the Administrator would say, "a healthy competition." 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. Check back daily to see how your class is doing at the War hubpage — this is also where you'll see links to all the leaked previews of the weapons, maps, and surprises releasing soon with this update.
What if some of you try to cheat to bump the numbers? We'll know. (Though we also know many of you won't be able to resist trying anyway.)
Alright, enough talk. Who'd you rather see get this exclusive new weapon? The Demoman? Or the Soldier? The War starts right now, so get out there and vote with your kills!

| Soldier is easy mode. Demoman is for skilled players (Excluding sticky trap campers, obv).

I will. Only downpart of the Demoman update is that I won't really be able to play until the "post update everyone play this class and nothing else" event ends.

Soldier: Easy to play; Attracts new players
Demoman: Harder to play; More powerful than Soldier
Soldier may have more people, but the demomen that don't suck dicks will rape all soldiers.

demoman being harder to play?
1. switch to sticky launcher
2. spam
there's 8 stickies in 1 clip, whilst the soldier has 4 rockets in a clip
it's easier to lay the stickies out on the floor while a soldier who spams his or her rockets has less chance of hitting the target

Rockets go slowly in straight lines and blow up next time they hit something. They do mediocre/low damage compared to both of Demoman's weapons, and you only have 4.
Stickies can detonate mid-air when they get close to a target instead of waiting for it to land, do significantly more damage than a soldier, and are often thought of as the most powerful weapon in the game. You have 8.
Soldier's shotgun...laughable.
Demoman's grenade launcher, a force to be reckoned with in the right hands. Better than soldier's rocket damage wise, but harder to aim.
Damage stats*

Rocket Launcher: 50-90 (45-60 Long range) 70
Shotgun: 10-30 20
