It's not that I don't like them, I just would have preferred demolition based weapons and perhaps a different drinking weapon for his melee. Demo is my main and favorite class and I wanted his new weapons to be perfect.

I mean, c'mon, a sword and shield for the demoman? I would've preferred his beta dynamite or something. I swear they better make something good for his grenade launcher because so far I'm sticking with Demo's default set-up.

I honestly couldn't have put this any better myself.


Really the Sword and Shield would've fit the Solider better. It's a good idea and all, but I really don't think it works with the Demo.

I know what you're saying; Explosives would have been more fitting for him. He is a Demolition man, after all.

I wouldn't worry, though, I'm sure his next weapon will be something true to his name, and hopefully he'll get the extra weapon too, whatever it is.

Well, in the comic, the Demo's third box says "Sco Res." Covered by the other boxes.

Scottish Resistance?
Scotman's Respect?

I really don't know!

[Keiyos]

well in my opinion I don't think it could be any more perfect for me. cause I try to smack my enemies with the bottle at every given chance I get and to know now he gets a proper close combat weapon is just . . . . . . . AWESOME!!

Demo ftw!

edit: plus he already has enough explosives what more could you want?

[Kairos]

The bottle is fucking amazing. What the hell are you talking about?

Chances are if you suck with hitting people with the bottle, you suck hitting everybody with any melee weapon. Including the sword.

You're one of the kids whose just happy to see a sword in TF2. If the fucking Engie got it, you'd be happy.

And he is the fucking Demoman. Which are explosives. You can't have enough explosives. it's really disappointing to see this. :V

[Nystre]

Yes, it's definitely an awesome idea. Now every server can be just like that All-Crits Mario Kart server, except only Soldiers will kill anyone. It's so amazingly balanced, I'm sure everyone would love it!

are you seriously fucking getting trolled by this

are you fucking serious

[Vipershark]

As much as I agree with all the hate for the sword (as he is the Demoman, after all), allow me to point out the fact that it's called the "Close-Combat Kit" or whatever for a reason. I'm assuming it's for when you run out of ammo.
Not to mention the fact that it's a play on him being scottish.

Huh? Sorry, I'm extremely slow and don't understand what you're trying to say...

Anyway, I think the sword and shield is cool, and it probably fits the Demo better than it would anyone else. Though, it does really seem quite random, too.

Besides, what sort of other explosives could he have that are not clones of existing weapons (other than the dynamite, which is just a clusterbomb version of the 'nade launcher anyway)?

[GrooveMan.exe]

Wow, that's actually really cool, interesting, and has fuck all to do with FPS proficiency.

I am now very likely to roll MeleeDemo.

The soldier will probably get a pick axe

is it weird that the most shocking thing to me through all these updates is that they gave the Demoman a name?

now I'm curious if they'll ever namedrop the other classes.

[Vipershark]

"accidental 'bedoom' kills"
"It's martial arts but sped up."
hahahaha

[Rosencrantz]

I would have liked a bottle of napalm or something explosive over the sword :[
you know, you can throw it, you light it with a bomb/Pyro, and then you have a Molotov

I'm welcome to the shield, though
I remember someone mentioning that as a class on its own over on the Steam forums months ago
still would have liked the demopack though !!



also Scottish Reserves

They gave THAT demoman a name.

It can be assumed that there are millions of other demomen who look just like him that were raised in different circumstances and have different names.
