Either A) The new shovel unlockable. B) You are able to get 'normal' weapons by crafting. C) Valve guys had 'normal' weapons with modded stats in their backpacks before.
... I know it's or CT or T, but what I meant was: propably C (in my opinion). It's more likely that the new melee is not a shovel (maybe a pickaxe, that's more likely since it has been mentioned in a hidden link). And a new shovel wouldn't be so fun, than you would have the same icon as the shovel now, like scattergun and FaN...
To get off topic, I still like this one tho, hahaha play as a dog. Still amusing to see it http://guarddog.50webs.com/
Old There is a topic about it somewhere here. Also new numbers Soldiers killed 4.306.329 Demos killed 4.540.493 The soldiers aren't gaining anymore distance, but the demo's aren't getting closer either.
Tadaaaaaaaaaaa: "The shovel was temporary art of an item we were testing internally" That means that it's an "old" shovel image, but with the new stats. And probably they have changed the shovel (and the icon) to something else, like pickaxe...
please edit that, lucky. that's not nice. would have given you a warning if you had said that on the servers.
bah it's so obvious that soldiers have SO much easy'er to get kills then demo's (demo's are made for destroying buildables not hunting down soldiers)
here the page for the WARRRRR-serrrrrverrrrrr http://stats.lethal-zone.eu/hlstats.php?mode=roles&game=tf2soldem
So the first 2 demo weapons are found. A sword and a shield. Bit strange to me though. Sounds like they went L4D2 too long. And are they seriously going to update demo tonight? That would be retarded, then everyone would be playing demo and soldier would lose anyway.
Sword and a shield? I know it's silly as hell, but it's awesome. Seems there's no need to play Age of Chivalry anymore, now I just play Demo in TF2 instead. :badgrin:
I wonder how the charge function on the shield and the powerup function on the sword will work though. Also will charging be like in L4D2? Pressing a button and having no control until the action is finished? Or will it be more controlable. On the bright side, when there are less winbomb users I will have a fieldday with these kilt wearing cyclopses.
My best guess is that it will be like the L4D2 charger. Uncontrollable madness Sounds fun though. Hope the will get the demo a more controllable mid-range weapon too. Something like the shotgun (but then better ofcourse) functions now.
Sword and Shield, sounds cool 8) I think if you want to use them, you lose your Stickylauncher. Just like Razorback of the Sniper. You havent a 2nd Slot. The shield is in your hand and you can use it.
