A bit of theories

I remember a suggestion of a sword (claymore to be precise) for the soldier somewhere on the forums. The bugle might be some kind of boost for the soldier after playing a war worthy song, and then there is larate.... and I suppose the explosion refer to a powerful rocket for the soldier with even less ammo (wouldn't give anything to the demo here, too much references to AMERICA!!!!)

Fuck yea!

Coming again to save the M@therF****** day yeah!

sorry....couldn't resist....

yea neither could i XD

I would say that's just another prop to stir things up, and I don't expect anything to come out of that page XD

but why is there a 3D model for Saxton Hale... I think.... and a bit squiggly http://www.teamfortress.com/crafting/

Also: There is going to be 4 more links at the bottom of this page: http://www.teamfortress.com/war/part3/index.htm

So nothing will happen until then:P

4 days from tonight (alright basically it is already Tuesday here but..) to Thursday, which marks the end of the war I think, make sense, so...the 3 weapons, and the 7th unlock, so it will get interesting soon, I think

Ah, why did the Demo and the soldier became friends to begin with?

here's my theory, they are both visually impaired. the soldier never shows his eyes, expect if you make him wear certain hats, and even there, one of those is a glass one. Then you might ask, well why doesn't the soldier cry at the eye museum? Simple, he got over it, and probably forgot it himself.

so, do you think I got the potential to post useless treads on the steam's forum?

they met at a projectile explosives convention and hit it off. They have similar passions, its the key to a good friendship.

oh and everyone has the potential for useless threads bobi, just start with

SAXTON HALE IS THE 10th CLASS OMGWTFBBQ

I find it hilarious that bobi said the claymore would be fore the soldier XD and the demo man would have gotten nothing out of that page hahah.

I'm gunna guess that the demo's(Tavish Degroot) third weapon has 2 words in it, first one starts with a sco(Scottish maybe) and the second one starts with Res(can't think of anything for this word XD)

The close combat kit is brilliant! it'll force the demomen out of their holes

FREEDOM!!!!!

But expect me to go all out melee demoman for while

in a frail attempt to recover my honor I lost from saying the claymore would go to the soldier, I saw that idea in the soldier sub-forum and it said AMERICAN STEEL, even with my initial thought relating the sword to that guy from braveheart. still.. you'll probably see me charging everywhere with those thing (I'm a poor stickie bomber to begin with, and that'll actually help engineers)

Yea i agree, but it won't make them a tank on their own. The sword steals health, and while its being debated on the forums i think the shield actually takes some health to do the charges. It says its a punishingly fast charge.... and it would be a good way to balance it. This way the demo can still kind of fulfill a tackling role, except while being more mobile than relying on traps

aye, that would make sense, but we'll just have to wait, oh and I'm pretty much sure the Targe blueprint involves a razorback and... hum backburner maybe, Eyelander probably the sandman and blutsauger (health reduction)

I'm looking toward the soldier comic

So the soldier was tricked by the administrator as I feared... well, I guess I'll play both sides after all this mess, trying to become better with both class

soldier weapon announced!
http://www.teamfortress.com/soldierupdate/index.htm#item_1

I kinda agree with those words though :"Once you've taken a man out for whiskey and ribs...then fought him.. then fought the police with him... well you have forged a bond thicker then any soup you can buy"

so now I'm waiting for the conclusion of the comic, either everything is back to normal, or neither of them manage to kill off the other (because of those words), or we end up getting a comic for a back story of every class yay!

i say the comics ending will depend on who wins the "war"

If demo gets more soldier kill then he will win in the comic, and vice versa for soldier

don't forget valve still has to fix the numbers the propaganda poster contest will let them make it a tie if they feel like it

What happens if there is a tie?

Contributors will get hats, or both class will get a fourth unlock only obtainable trough drop system or Blueprints maybe? Like maybe actual grenades... probably not the wisest idea though

oh, and maybe the third unlock for the demoman, is either another kind of bottle (Scottish Reserve) or a grenade launcher that looks like a FaN, I think you already saw one of those, can't remember the actual name, wouldn't be able to bounce before exploding, would go in the "direct fighter" that they seem to promote him

Nah Valve has said a couple of times they don't want to use grenades (i think its in the developer commentary thing)

just because every class becomes a spamming class, and you die without really seeing who killed you. takes the fun out of it.

As for a tie? i'm rooting for swordfish melee unlocks for both classes

Propaganda's winners are announced, demomen are pretty much doomed unless the kill contests was a big joke for the weapon, but I have to agree with first place, even if it's the soldiers http://www.teamfortress.com/images/posts/poster_1st.jpg
second place is pretty neat also http://www.teamfortress.com/images/posts/poster_2nd.jpg
and here's third place, takes a bit more time to appreciate personally http://www.teamfortress.com/images/posts/poster_3rd.jpg

oh, why are demo doomed? well they got second place worth 25k dead soldiers, and soldiers got 1th and 3rd, meaning a total of 60k dead soldiers, there could be hope, but come on, 35k margin increase to cover in less then a day, + the initial margin?
