Awesome how everyone is whining when the weapon seems to be weaker than the normal Demoweapons.
I really don’t want to see the shitstorm if they have a stronger Unlock for the Nadelauncher.

You missunderstood me. Fun weapons are fine with me, as long as they are bullet/projectile based. But a sword and a fucking shield? IN AN FPS GAME?! Really?

Critical hits? A jar of piss? STUNS? IN AN FPS GAME?! Really?

Sandman (and FaN for it’s midair stun, partially) also has no place in an FPS game, IMO. Jarate is pretty decent. I mean it is projectile based, no mater how dumb it is. And the +% dmg received… well it may not be an FPS game standart, but it fits in quite nicely. Maybe the demoweapons will too, idk, so get off my back, please :P I can have MY OPINION afterall.

Quad damage? flash grenades?

Yea MW2 competitive play is so much better.

Don’t embarrass yourself

Never tried it, I dont even have mw2. Dear god, could you stop taking everything so seriously? o.O

Sorry re-reading your post I must of missed all the hilarity the first time.

I dont get all the negativity. We are being spoiled rotten with some MORE free content to a 2 year old game that doesn’t change the way you play if you dont want it to. Keep your bottle and we’ll have a load of fun taking off enemies heads with a two handed broadsword……sweet. Simples.

The point is Monkey, the updates are supposed to be sidegrades, not upgrades or downgrades. These weapons are downgrades, they don’t serve a decent purpose they are simply just fun weapons. The comp community gets upset because these weapons are useless to comp demomen.

You’ve not even used it yet.

Sticky jumping into a crowd of people armed with a sword :D wonder if it will hit multiple targets at once being a rather large!

people get upset because some new weapons are overpowered (FaN or sandman)
I would be happy if these new weapons turn out to be useless and the game doesn’t change.

For me, i was looking forward to a useful sidegrade that could bring new tactics and a fresh approach. It could be nice keeping the enemy guessing as to what the demoman is going to do next, he’s such an integral part of the squad that it would be awesome to see what could have happened.

Instead we get a sword that reduces our health unless we get close enough to hit someone with it, meaning that even if we do hit someone with it then we’ll probably get one-shotted by a scout from behind soon after and a shield that takes away our main means of transport and the speed that causes us to be such a good offensive class, it makes us stick to being the defensive class…but then again we can’t use stickies with the shield, so we can’t even lay traps to be defensive.
