This is utterly stupid....what was valve thinking....now every 2fort server is packed with opposing teams of demo vs solly....
im very unsure about who is going to win....being a life long demo player...i want the demo to win....& im helping that along....but i think cause the soldier is globally a more popular class...i think the soldier will win..
& all this promise about giving the winner a special new weapon giving about as much hype as the atom bomb in ww2....meaning each team is terrified of the other team having it...
I feel pretty bad your comment got rated down so hard man but you're right this happens every time they release a class specific update and we don't want them to stop that.
However isn't it a bit unbalanced for the contest to be about overall kills when different amounts of player play each class? I guess valve has checked that but it seems unlikely that there arethe same amount of people playing each class.
Agreed with the harshness of Team_Clarky's comment markdown.
Kudos to Valve though: Keeping a game fresh and interesting for this long is no easy task. It represents fantastic value for money and is great to see so much creativity being leveled at the game.
Hoping soldier wins as demoman is already annoyingly powerful, unfortunately with my pc down and a PIII 600 mhz as backup, I wont be taking part :-/
Wonder what kind of weapon it is...
I mean the weapon can be used both as soldier and demoman.
I think it will be a item like the sandvich or the boink drink and jarate. But that's me.
Go Soldier!
But if man vs man on just flat ground, demoman will kill the soldier.
I'm hoping its not an "awesome" weapon, cause if it is and it equally fits both classes, we could have balance and role issues. They fill completely different roles, so it'd be bad if either one got a weapon to substitute the other.
All that being said, I'm pretty sure valve knows what they are doing.
Damn, most people want the Soldier to win. I suppose I'm 50/50 since I don't play TF2 all that often. But if I had to choose it would be the Demoman, simply because he's Scottish (or at least, Valve tried) and so am I.
I'll admit at least this gives the community to opportunity to take part in what class they want to see new weapons for. Good part on Valve's behalf.
Although I'm for the demoman, I think the soldier has the advantage since all his weapons are direct fire weapons, and the demoman is indirect weapons.
thats a fact!!
I will join with ma friend on a server, I will go soldier and he will kill me SOOOO OOOOOFTEN THATT WEE WIIIIN THIS WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAR
We soldiers have something to fight for , i dont count our farm , you are only drunker bloody demos that run like little BARBIES !! , PREPARE FOR SUDDEN DEATH ! -Soldier

its dumb to assume they wont release the other class weapon soon afer... seeing as they have developed both im sure, and valve is full of lame ideas
One word: Petition.

Hell yeah !
For Blood, Scotch and Bombs !
I love both classes and am not sure which one I should fight for :)
I think the Soldier will win overall though.
KILL all Demos , and dont take hostages, remember NO DEMOS. *rocket loading sound*
definatly soldier :D
It's so much easier to score kills with Demoman - Demoman FTW!
I really dont play those class alot, but I would go with the soldier
Although I'm for the demoman, I think the soldier has the advantage since all his weapons are direct fire weapons, and the demoman is indirect weapons.
Is there a war on TF2???
LOL i think that the Soilders will win they are very popular
I vote Pyro, FIRE FTW
Soldiers, because they have Shovels!
How come no "neither" option? :p
you deserve a medal soldier
I'm a spy.. oh wait no.. it's a demoman, trust me!..
*smack!*
Hmm, never liked any of soldier or demoman really - spy is the most fun for me.
Demoman ! :D
WHAT? The Demoman rocks!
EVERYONE GO SOLDIER!!! so i can kill you with my demo..
thats a fact!!
I will join with ma friend on a server, I will go soldier and he will kill me SOOOO OOOOOFTEN THATT WEE WIIIIN THIS WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAR
