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.

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.

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.
