16 stickys in multiple traps, like totally awesome. :ugly:
One more reason to play spy, evading sticky traps.

Banner may buff heavies a bit, giving them good dps over longer distances because the damage falloff will be removed with minicrits.

Soldier has achievement "kill with a grenade" -> tauntkill.

Looks like the charge itself deals damage?

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.

The final weapon description is:

The Equalizer
Level 10 Pickaxe
Damage and move speed increase as the user becomes injured.

Yup, shovel has always been a poor melee weapon~ So the pickaxe is pretty good o:
I don't think I'll be trading in my shotgun any time soon though o:

But that sticky launcher.. I must say that's a good alternative :D

Setting off one sticky to blow the rest of them in the enemies faces would be awesome. Like in that video with the BLU Soldier @ Gravel Pit who sends stickies rolling under his team.

I honestly think valve has tampered with the killdata. Its a little bit too convenient that the gap is suddenly so narrow after day after day of soldier having about 200 thousand kills more.

Blame BAM! :18 :ugly:

I like the new stuff, but trading shotgun for a buff banner is a bit... weird. The achievements are also quite crazy. I won't get all off them at all.

..I wish :D..

that buff banner may have some interesting tactical approaches (although with 1-2 crit stikies you can easy send that group in heaven)

My mate watched me play Soldier yesterday, and surmised that not only was I shit at killing the enemy with Direct Hits, but I was also shit at killing them with splash damage. So basically, I can't kill anybody as Soldier.

That is why I need Valve to release a Stinger Missile Launcher just for me. That way it will just home in on the enemy, with a minimum of effort from me. I hear what you're probably saying;

'But McMoist, that will present some pretty major balance issues'

And to you I say;

'Fuck off. I'm shit at this bloody game. Give me a break. I want my Stinger'

To be fair though, the balance issues would only exist if I was playing the game. And you can be damned sure I'd be on a lot. Just standing there, scudding people from a distance. I wouldn't even have to move my head or aim....

Omfg this is so awesome, who cares about shotgun, when you have buff banner which is totally and asbolutely brilliant idea :D Soldier on the hill, commanding the mini crit counter attack :4 I also like the idea of replacing only sticky launcher with 2 completely different weapons - altough the idea of a demoman with gigantic sword with a shield puts scottish resistance into shame corner ;)

I love the stealthnerf to the heavy (once again)

Demoman gets to charge, well who is the easiest to charge into?
Soldier gets the direct hit, guess who is the easiest person to direct hit?

Sorry mate.

If I'd known I was hurting you so much, I wouldn't have done it.

Oh OK, some tongue. :26

That's the Soldier's taunt... just read all they write. Soldier stands, pulls one of his grenades and throws it at his feet to make BOOOM. :18

Victory on the Internet Day has been declared! The war is over! Who won? We don't know! Yet!

Luckily, I, Robin Walker, was up all night building a kill-calculating machine for just such an eventuality. We turned it on, the building filled with smoke, and right now a fireman is yelling at me to leave the building with everyone else. I'll leave when they pry this tiny netbook out of my cold dead hands. Or when an angry fireman fireman-carries me out of the office, which is what is happening right now. Anyway, once all the firemen calm down, we'll announce the War results with today's huge update. To pass the time, go get yourself a fresh mouse and start reloading this page as fast as you possibly can.

Please note: Beginning now, we're going to start transitioning the new inventory system into the game. Until the update goes live later today, you will not have access to your inventory.
