[Kirby]

So this means sollys will haz little to no chance at surviving a dead-on reflected rocket.

Them rockets will kill anything if they crit...

Well duh.  But they'll have shit for AoE, so I think they'll be a lot less dangerous than normal crit rockets.

But there is no way one can survive it.

Unless you're a fully buffed heavy... and I'm not even sure you would survive the fall damage that would come afterwards.

And this is a problem how?  I'm pretty sure nothing but an overhealed heavy survives a crit sticky, and with a second normal sticky (easy to do on a heavy) they're fucked too.  Not to mention you don't even need LOS with the heavy to do that...

I added some kills by playing as demoman, and getting killed.

[Maxon]

Soldier gets the Pickaxe.  The more you get hurt, the more damage the pickaxe does.

Also gets the bugle that builds up a rage meter.  When full, he pulls out the bugle and gives everyone in the immediate vicinity mini crits.

And with the achievements, there is an achievement to kill people with a grenade...Hrmm..."Spray of Defeat
Use a grenade to gib a player."

[Wedge]

Grenade is gonna be taunt kill..

[Maxon]

Grenade is gonna be taunt kill..

And that makes much sense.

[zaneyard]

not trading my shotty
pickaxe seems beast though

[copulatingduck]

You missed the snazzy new demo sticky launcher: http://www.teamfortress.com/demomanupdat...htm#item_3


I will probably never pub this game again, it really doesn't need more spam

Heavy also hates that bugle thingy.  However, that pickaxe thing seems ideal for asshattery.  Hopefully it does less damage at full health than the shovel to balance it out.

[Surf314]

This update looks awesome. That banner is something I will more than likely be using. But that's because I'm a bros before foes kinda guy.

Doubt it; according to Valve it's supposed to be a straight upgrade, at least initially:

"At the moment the Equalizer is a flat upgrade to the shovel. Down the road we might do some balance adjustment to make the shovel a more competitive choice."

That honestly makes sense, it is encouraging people to charge at enemies with a melee weapon and no health.

people didnt do that anyway???

bugle looks decent, a bit situational, pickaxe is flat upgrade (and might get more people to melee battle)

Compared to bonk, nothing's situational. Hopefully it'll inspire people to be more teamwork-oriented though.

Anyways, liking the new melees both classes got. Pick axe vs a sword.

[Surf314]

Bugle looks amazing, both classes now have something to break stalemates.

[Turtle]

They made the achievments so you can basically never do it with just 2 people

god damn valve found ANOTHER way
