SAXTON MOTHERFUCKING HALE
Hahaha
also, gonna be interesting to see how all the unlocks play out tomorrow night
possible hint at what soldier could win? :wonder:
Bugle is like a medics Kritzkrieg but for everyone and it’s only mini crits. reminds me of some Advance Wars Commanding Officer’s Power.
Scottish Resistance sounds amazing
Demo had the supremely better update but soldiers was ok too(Bugle sounds really cool)
Can’t wait for this to drop. Best update hands down.
If this one had a poster like the spy/sniper one I’d buy it
The bugle looks pretty good but you’re really giving up a lot for it. The thing I really enjoy about the soldiers new items is that they really reward accurate rocket firing and management. If you equip the bugle, it’s a great opportunity for you and your team to do a ton of extra damage. The downside, of course, is that you don’t have any shotty to rely on and anyone soldier worth his salt knows that it’s pretty damn important when you blow all 4 rockets. Combine that with using the Direct Hit and it’ll get even harder to finish off that wounded scout. That being said, you have the potential for a lot more damage assuming you’re on point with those rockets.
I’m very meh on the charge and targe and the eyelander. On one hand, it seems like awesome pub fun. On the other, I don’t think it’ll be much better than having a sticky launcher at all. Sure you take less damage from blast and fire, but soldiers, pyros, and enemy demos shouldnt really be a big problem for demos anyway. Heavies and scouts will still destroy you at close range, pyros will airblast you. And FUCK the Scottish Resistance. Multiple sets of sticky traps? Really? There are some absolutely ridiculous places to hide stickies and this is going to make things really fucking annoying. It was bad enough pubbing when 2 or 3 demomen could lock up an area and now it only takes one. No idea how this would even effect competition since pushing would almost guarantee a sticky trap. I think a lot of how rageworthy this ends up being depends on how well the SR destroys enemy stickies. If it does so easily, then it might be reasonable.
As a Solly, Equalizer is all I’ll be using. Bugle is not worth losing shotgun, and I like my splash damage.
Huh, would you look at that, the equalizer really is a pure upgrades over the shovel, nobody will ever have a reason to use it again. Though from this, it sounds like the damage bonus is only when you’re using the shovel, it doesn’t boost your rocket launcher movement speed or anything. It also confirms the grenade taunt kill, so the 4th unlock doesn’t have to be a grenade to get that achievement…
though I’m still leaning towards a concussion grenade, given the achievement to kill 5 stunned players.
I can’t wait to Rocket Jump across the map until I’m at 1/4 of my health, the pull out the Equalizer and sprint around critting people.
Yeah I figured everyone would be using the equalizer
it’s like blutsager when that first came out.
I plan on using the the new rocket launcher on and off and the equalizer.
axe is the only straight upgrade there. when you use melee weapons, you’re on low health anyway. why not get the dmg bonus? and a speed up too!
direct hit is like a better skillsman, i’ll give it a try, but it’ll make dealing with scouts a lot harder. the only reason scouts jumped against soldiers before was to avoid splash, but without that to worry about … 
bugle, i dunno? depending on how fast it charges (i’m guessing after 4 kills) it could be great. stacking it with other soldiers, who are building their own could become lethal very quickly. i.e. bugle, gets crits, ANOTHER BUGLE ad victoria
the sword seems pretty bad to me. the small potential for more temporary health and speed is not enough for me to risk lower health from the get go. i dunno, mabye with the bugle it’ll be worthwhile but having to attack up close is never good.
IF the targe is always present (like the razahback) then it could be a great replacement for stickys. shit both replacements are great, i dont think i’ll be rocking regular stickies for a good while. the new sticky bomb launcher is the truth. i use pipes for everything cept scouts, and the ability to ruin the day of other demos is too good to pass up.
The new sticky bomb launcher sounds like a jumper’s dream, hopefully someone makes a cool video of that stuff
oh my god i hadn’t even thought of that
THE WAR ENDS IN LESS THAN AN HOUR!
Soldier vicotly :tup:
edit: less than 15 mins! BRACE FOR IMPACT
Direct Hit
Equalizer
Hell…I’ll even carry the Bugle with me.
Damnit…I’ll try and make it home soon.
Server will be used for teh FARM.
Let me know when you guys are doing this. I’m game for it.
I’m pretty sure everyone is going to go into the srk server as soon as the update is out. So whenever that is, that’s when the srk server is going to fill up.
Some people and I are going to do testing and experimenting with the mechanics and weapons.
So Soldier is pretty much sure to win, I wonder what their fourth weapon will be?
