tbh, I think everyone has had the gunboats at some time, if they crafted it for a fucking hat then that’s their fault, just allow them so the game can be more fast paced.

surely I’ll love being in the middle after the enemy solly, kinda changes game mechanics.

ban all but medic unlocks ploxxxxxxx

lrn2jump nub.

Heaven’s forbid the game doesn’t revolve completely about the Demo.

Heaven’s forbid sollies launching on medics is the only valid tactic in future tf2

Quoted from Geten

Do not allow it. For fricks sake this is tf2. Soldiers are supposed to be support class in that they build uber and they both look after the medic. Anything else is structural discrimination/racism towards scouts and demomen and would thus make the soldier OP and shatter the total balance and harmony that now exists in that all classes are equally useful.

ROFL who said soldier was a support class? I remember a time when the soldier could carry a team based on his skill, now the demomen carries his team based on the class’ damage output and speed to middle; even those demomen who can’t hit nades still carry the team – its absolutely ridiculous. Gunboats are great for the roamer, especially as most soldiers are totally unable to hit anything with their shotgun.

I scrimmed last night on viaduct and used the gunboats throughout, it was the most fun I’ve had as soldier in a long time. I wouldn’t drop my shotgun, but maybe I’d reconsider that if the gunboats made you take less fall damage – the nerf on the equalizer also had an effect on using gunboats anyway, the equalizer was a real option as an alternative to the shotgun, now its pretty much useless as an attacking tool for the bombing soldier – it’s better just to reload a rocket.

this.

And why should the Demo be the first to mid no matter what happens? Why can’t another class be that? Even if you arrive after the Soldier it’s not like he’s the stronger class. You still have far more firepower.

I don’t have Ubersaw! Please ban all medic unlocks!!!

You can get it trough an achievement in a definite time. With the random drop weapons you can’t do anything expect rely on luck. This problem has only grown since the start of season 7 with the release of more random drop weapons.

You can stop your fall with a rocket for the sacrifice of 10hp and a rocket xD
