I don't read the TF2 forums at all, but I've noticed that the last couple of blog posts have been written from the point of view of the soldier. Perhaps a hint at the upcoming class update?

Anyone read the forums that has seen any other hints towards other classes?

One blog post was titled "Get em Boyos", a Demoman quote. So, I don't really have a clue who's getting updated, but the soldier would be a good bet. I think the Demoman and Engineer would probably be updated at the same time either before or after the soldier (you'd need a Demoman update to counter the turtle fest that is the Engineer update.)

I completely agree with the demo/engy combo. In fact, I've even said that a few times before on this here forums... On the most recent blog post, he even says "That's me on the bottom right" pointing out the soldier... Oh the illusive class updates... I would LOVE either a demo/engy or a soldier update... Engy + Soldier = my two favourite classes... The turtle fest will be epic win...

I'd like to see a engineer update, make him more offence oriented. I wouldn't doubt there will be a shotgun or wrench that does more damage or builds faster for less overall metal. A soldier update would be nice too, i'm starting to like soldier. I don't want any more demoman as it is, i cant imagine what they would give the most OP class to make any of his weapons "side grade" material.

Sadly it's either gonna be a Explosions update (Demoman, Soldier) or Versus update (Demoman, Engineer)

I would love to see a versus update over an explosions update.
It was neat seeing that happen with Sniper and Spy.

Side note; wish I had TF2 early enough to see all the updates.
I'm pretty sure I got TF2 ~ a week and a half before/after Scout's update.

The medic update was the most medics I had ever seen at once, but most of them were charging with bonesaws at Heavys and trying to needlegun scouts.

Me too, that's right around the time shens started...

I would love a demo/engy update... It would be so frustrating and awesome...

It would be all sentryguns and stickies, imagine the spawncamping that would inevitably occur.

The Engineer needs some sort of buff. Robin Walker himself said Sentry Guns have become to binary. I'm hoping they find a way to make the class more interesting.

Fullbleed is right. Aside from that, the solider honestly doesn't need an update. He's balanced enough as it is...there isn't much with him that needs fixing.

Well knowing Valve, they're going to mess that up for us too.

Yeah, but they can make cool interesting things for him

Like, um a rocket launcher that shoots mini nukes and it doesn't reload so it is fair because it has 4 less shots.
Just wait that will be in the game.

I would love a rocket launcher that shoots faster but less powerful rockets...

Back on topic...

If we DID get a soldier update, what is there really to improve?

I guess clip size for rocket launcher, and maybe a longer range shotgun, but those are minor things.

Same thing for demoman. He is quite perfect the way he is, even though he could use a straight shooting bullet weapon to destroy stickies and to combat really long range sentries.

As for engineer, there's a thread in the TF2 forums about the beta improvements.

Amongst other things, it is said that the engineer will get a new wrench that builds fast but upgrades slower. I see the fun in that; build lvl 1 sentries in unexpected places, and go battle engi to make the kills quicker. I've done it before (not too successfully), but it was fun.

chrisinajar · « **Reply #19 on:** August 18, 2009, 07:30:08 pm »

The problem with demoman and soldier is that they shoot projectiles. It's a very delicate system, and minor tweeks to the way they work = relearning the entire class just to use an unlockable. I think they're going to be the hardest of all the classes to update. Needless to say, i can't wait.
