A new update for Team Fortress 2 is about to land, offering updates for both the Demoman (sword and shield) and the Soldier, who gets a new rocket:
...the Direct Hit has a 70% smaller blast radius than a traditional rocket launcher. But the rockets that come out of this thing move fast and hit hard: 80% faster and with 25% more destructive force. Best of all, for you real sharpshooters, the Direct Hit guarantees mini-crits on airborne targets.


A free weekend is about to kick off as well, giving you the chance to take the new changes for a test drive - so (if you haven't got the game already) start pre-loading and get ready for a weekend of TF2 mayhem.

Note: Pretty much any time we reveal a new weapon, somebody on the forums claims they thought of it first. But this time, assuming it’s Tom Francis and jibberish, they are absolutely correct. As a special thanks to them for doing our work for us,

Email Valve sent to the guy who thought up the idea.

They'll also (finally) be releasing 'item crafting' which basically lets you trade your duplicate items for something you actually want.

Hopefully I can get a hat out of my fifty or so dead ringers.

Man I really thought soldier would win but I guess its going to the demoman now. I blame 32 player servers with tight corners. The grenade spam has been pretty nasty over the past week. And teams of all demomen seem to work surprisingly well in most circumstances.

I can't believe the demos caught up. I call match fixing by valve.

SOLDIER WON!

It was never in doubt, tbh. I tried to boost demo myself but probs did more harm to the cause than good.

Anyway, it's neither here nor there - whatever they update will be balanced for one, and whatever they don't update now they will update later. Life is one big marketing game.

No advancement has been made in the escalation sciences since… until now. Introducing the Gunboats, secondary-slot boots that reduce rocket jump damage by a huge amount, rendering stairs forever useless. What is the science behind these miracles of technology? Magic, probably.

Haha, I love the humour at Valve
