Soldiers and Demomen Face Off in TF2 "WAR" Update

[WolfLordAndy]

Go go Demomen!

Unfortunately most of hte servers I go on seem to be getting dominated by Soldiers. The best I've managed to do so far is play as a kritz medic and get some fellow demomen insane killstreaks!

Remember if you want one side to win, but you're crap at played that class, help them by defending them (reflect stuff away as a pyro) or ubering/kritzing them!

Alternately be a dick and uber the other side, but then take it away as they step out into the open... Not that I'D do such thing

Summing up, pyro's are awesome and every other class sucks. =P

If there are two things I can't tolerate, it's people who are intolerant of other people's class choices, and the pyro.

If you're good and you're a pyro *pauses to admire self* then you are the best class in the game for whatever you want to do. Offense, defense, burning medics, grabbing briefcases, finding and removing spies, burning medics, destroying ubers, burning medics.. We're just awesome. Airblast means explosives and arrows won't hit you and can even hit the enemy if you're good. (best moment of TF2 life, hs'ing a sniper with his own arrow. )

Pyros are so awesome, in fact, that a focused pyro could in fact swing this war. Let's say I was playing demo (which I'd love to be doing all weekend and can't because IT'S FUCKING FINALS WEEK, STUPID GOD DAMN GABE DON'T YOU OWN A GOD DAMNED CALENDAR YOU FAT FUCK[/rage]) and as a demo I worked with a pyro. With the pyro's flames to weaken the strong-as-hell soldier, the odds are already slanted. Now all the demo has to do is find a good spot to make a hidden sticky nest and let the pyro lure dumb-ass soldiers to it. Once the soldier is close enough, the pyro air-blasts him towards the nest and KABLEWY! Demos catch up their 100k trail.
A pyro working with a soldier could also help, weakening demos with their flames and making them more susceptible to rocket fire but I'm not openly suggesting that because soldiers can suck it.

I play soldier more, but I'm going to join the demoman because more people play soldiers than demoman

 

[Supreme Unleaded]

I do however have a feeling that the soldier will win, when a solider and demo go 1 on 1 the soldier usually wins due to the fact that the rockets go strait, sure the demo can rush the guy but he's more built to destroy sentries. The soldier is made to destroy everything.

Rushing sounds like the worst idea possible. Demos win duels by avoiding direct confrontation unless they already have a clear advantage. You your key advantages are greater speed, area denial, and the ability to fire at enemies who don't have line of sight to you. If you control your opponents approach and have done a chunk of damage to him before he even sees you, you have a much better chance of surviving the direct attack he will be trying to make. basically rushing is the exact opposite of what you should do.

Unless your idea of "rushing" involves flying across the map at an absurd speed and descending on your prey with a ready scotch bottle. In which case carry on.

Yeah i kinda ment the later, and also the air burst for the sticky can kill alot. I think i meant to say ambush (can't really remeber what exacly i was thinking), i still do have a feeling the soldier will win, he's just a bit more well rounded imo.

Demoman. Soldier really doesn't need a second upper hand in one on one.

And the demoman doesn't need more easily spammable cheapass grenades. And this is coming from someone who likes the demoman class.

That has to be set up before an encounter. Or to defend a position. :|

rofl. I'm not intolerant, I just prefer setting people on fire to laugh at them while they burn to death. *shrugs* I think it's more twisted than intolerant..

Pyro's are fun, you should play them. =P And they'll save your virtual life if an uber comes along. Provided they haven't gone with the silly backburner anyway..

lulz. Pyro can also protect you from rockets, better than from stickys actually. Airblast means kiting sollys is not only easy, it's extremely fun to take out the medic following them.

Hmmm... It seems whichever class teams with the pyros first will win.

 

[martin's a madman]

I'm hoping Demoman wins.

 

[James Raynor]

Soldier is winning.

But anyway, I bet pyros are having a laugh out of this.

 

[qbanknight]

this is by far the most interesting TF2 update ever, long live the demoman!

 

[CivilWar]

Hmm. Don't really use either character much, but this is certainly a brilliant idea at getting players involved.

 

[Medic Heavy]

A competition between my favorite (Soldier) and least favorite (Demoman) class happens when my computers in the shop being repaired?

Dam you Valve! I knew that Tin-foil hat man wasn't lying when he screamed you were watching me!

 

[soren7550]

I think the Solider is going to win this one.

 

[ribonuge]

Soldier deserves it, the demo is too imba.

MAGGOTS!

 

[ProfessorLayton]

I'm hoping for a soldier update. I've been waiting for a soldier update for a long time and I think he deserves it more. Or both of them like the Sniper/Spy thing they did a while ago. By the looks of it, the soldier is ahead so that's good news for me.

 

[L3m0n_L1m3]

Well, this pretty much ensures that servers will be full of explosions.

TIME TO GO PLAY PYRO

 

[LeQuack_Is_Back]

Go soldiers go! I'm stuck with the PS3 version of Orange Box, so I can't help with the fighting. I salute you.
