Listening to the administrator sound files dug up in the latest update:

And considering that Valve has said it's not a new game mode...

It sounds from that comic like they're going to have players play as demomen or soldiers and specifically try to kill the other, and after some amount of time killing each other, Valve will add up the kills and the winning class will get a class update.

If this is indeed the case then I am very much debating whom to play as. I love the soldier as he makes a great all around class but the demo man... is just too much fun.

Yes, tough decision, I LOVE the soldier, but I'm not sure I want them to change him yet. Plus I think the Demoman weapons would be more interesting and add more to the game. I kind of hope they just do both.

I don't think it'll be exclusive to soldier and demoman. That's entirely too limiting and would destroy regular gameplay. Remember, this is an addition to currently existing gameplay--not a new game mode.

It wouldn't have to be a new game mode to be a competition between people playing demo and soldier. If people want the demoman to get the update first, play as a demo and kill soldiers. If they want the soldier to get it first, play as a soldier and kill demos. Sure, you'll have whole teams of "demos vs. soldiers," but that also opens up room for other players to exploit the one-sided nature with other classes. It could apply across all official gameplay modes and maps, and since it would probably be of limited duration (I'm betting the end of the year if they announce it soon), it wouldn't be permanent nor a new game mode. Just some people choosing to play demos and others choosing the play soldiers.

Assuming that is how they decide what the next class update will be, the real question is which one will be the least annoying when everyone spawns that class in order to whore the achievements. I, for one, am against a map entirely carpeted with stickies.

That's why you play on servers with class limits



Am I the only one that thinks that the soldier and demoman are the only two classes (maybe besides scout, but valve already broke that) that are perfect and don't need an upgrades at all? I am only excited for the updates, because it will bring a lot more players back to the game, and that will be nice, but I am not excited for them to add some weapon that makes soldier/demo super easy to use. They should just do an engy update, and leave soldier and demo alone :(

Soldier update? More like the soldier gets the shaft una vez más, but in such an official manner that people don't realize it. But I'm looking forward to it nonetheless.

They might actually make all classes immune to rockets.

SOLDIERS UNITE TO DEFEAT THE "WINBOMB"!

The class that gets the most kill on the other class will recieve an extra weapon (but me thinks both class will get that extra weapon anyways in a couple months later or when engineer update hits)
