well...id say my choice is obvious:
Demo playtime: 59.7 hours
Soldier playtime: 0.9 hours

Not to mention I have despised soldier since tfc...and the idea of 4 new weapons ill never use is just repellent <_<

Maybe it's a good idea to play Soldier more than 54 minutes before saying you like playing him or not.

I also agree with drepepper, ugh.

its not that I dislike playing soldier, its that i dislike playing against soldiers to such a degree that I refuse to play the class
and if it matters my 2nd least played class has 52 hours <_<

I find demo far more intriguing and difficult to play than soldier, and more rewarding as well. I used to play Demo when TF2 came out before moving to Pyro then Spy, but I played Soldier in my scrim team and got sick of it really fast. Demo ftw.

Well i find demomen fulfill a specific role, whilst soldier's play is so general it often gets painful.

His burst damage is incredibly limited compared to Demo, his only real advantage being able to control enemy movement with pushback. What with the pyro's airblast it's been nerfed a fair bit.

Additionally, dying from Soldier's the same way over and over again gets old. I want to see something new from the soldier. I think i'm ready to make my vote.

Team Soldier all the way :D Fact is that Demoman is already more versatile and powerful than the Soldier. If anyone needs a new trick, it's him. Go Soldiers!

I don't care about the 4th speshul weapon, as long as demo gets an explode on impact/hitscan weapon. I hate the fact every weapon you have to wait for it to blow up on teh ground if you miss, or detonate it yourself.

This is a chicken egg argument. If everyone is saying that the Soldier is too generic, then why wouldn't you give him a weapon that helps diversify his strengths?

Yay, stats update!

Soldiers killed: 1,290,988
Demomen killed: 1,390,017


It's closer than I thought, considering that Soldiers seemed to be getting at least twice as many kills as Demomen when I was playing earlier.

it be great if 1 day after the winner class gets his weapon they give the other secret weapon to the other class. or even better, its just a melee unlock that is exactly the same in every way except for the model.
