Yup, looks like a combined Soldier / Demoman update.

Hopefully I'll be back on line at the weekend.

The WAR update:

The class with most kills of the opposite class (demo/soldier) receives an extra 4. weapon. The war is on. Smile

awesome. It sounds like fun!

it's really annoying imo. all you need to defend is a team full of demos as they can shoot their stuff around the corner without ever exposing themself. i hope the soldier gets the extra weapon to somehow level it out between those two classes.

lol

The soldier is way overpowered vs the demo.

The demo can shoot around the corner, but the soldier can fly around the corner with minimal damage done to himself.

Anyways, the soldier will win the war. Soldier is the only class where I see players who play no other class than soldier.

the demo can fly as well

Yeah, but he loses A LOT more hp compared to the soldier.

demo fire and reload rate is much higher

Doesn't help you much vs a (good) soldier.

you refuse to see my point huh? how skilled a player behind a class is, is irrelevant, every skilled player can do amazing things

A demo wo can throw nades in your face is much stronger.
-Health:
Soldier = 200
Demo = 175

-Weapons:
Soldier: 4 rockets and 6 shotgun shots
Demo: 4 nades and 8 stickies (3 stickies and the soldier is dead)

-Jump damage:
Soldier: 30 - 50
Demoman: 30 -50

-Walk speed:
Soldier: 240
Demo: 280

Conclusion: The only advantage a soldier really has is the direct hits he can place: straight forward rockets and shotgun hits. So if a demoman can place 4 direct nade hits and is very good in placing stickies, I'd say the demoman is the stronger class

Yeah, but to make 4 nade hits is very difficult.

therefore, he has the option of spamming, which is just not possible with soldier because of the slow firerate

plus the reloading rate of the demo is a lot faster. i get out of rockets just too often and once you're in a fight and screwed up your rocket counting and reloading you're quite done for.
anyhow if you're in close combat, the soldier is much more effective.
