Next Update: Soldier?

I just wanted to point out that the most recent post on the TF2 blog (http://www.teamfortress.com/) is narrated by the soldier.

Soo... is this a hint of what is to come? They kind of did the same thing when Valve released the Jarate as a April fools joke, but there has been no explicit mention of a focus on this class.
Personally I would love a soldier update its is one of the few left that I will enjoy.

(All I really want is a damage free ability to rocket jump)

Hmmm, MAYBE... it doesn't really seem to me to be 'narrated by the soldier' other than talking about grenades and things. It still seems like the same crazy-ass guy that does all the writing.

But I would still welcome a soldier update if it meant you'd STOP ROCKING MY ASS AS A HEAVY.

While it does seem the Soldier is the next class I think it will be one or both of the remaining defensive classes to come out next. So far only one has been released while the support classes are complete and the attack classes have only the soldier left. I see them both coming out too since like the spy/sniper they are opposing classes.

Do want Demo or Engi upgrades. It's all I play anymore... aside from the occasional medic sprint for old times' sake.

I'm curious what they're going to do with Engi and Demo that won't make things crazy. Some of the other classes had fairly obvious updates...but these two not so much.

Maybe they'll give engies level 2 sentries that can walk...

Sentries that can recognize and shoot stickies and grenades as they come in unf

For Demo, I really want stickies that only blow up if people or enemy structures are near them. A lot of my favorite strategies involve tagging two or more entryways with stickies, and as soon as a single scout comes in, they all blow. Then you gotta set 'em up again. Having fine control over which ones explode would be schweet.

(And totally unnecessary, but whatever.)

For Demo, they'll probably make achievements that nerf him more.

his taunt kill should involve taking off his eye patch and having a laser beam shoot out of his eye for an insta kill.

The Soldier has once again made a post on the TF2 blog. I think we can be pretty certain he's the next class update.

Yeah the engineer will be one unhappy Texan if the soldier or demo get their update first.

Who the hell is the engineer anyway? He seems like this dumb redneck, but if that's the case, how does he have access to teleportation devices? Has anyone ever thought about that?

HEY! I live in Texas. We kind of started a small company called TI and we hold the home offices for almost all phone service providers(Telecom corridor). We also gave you DLP movies and space but whatever.

I just have a boner for the engineer because he's some unexpected supergenius.

But let me know when Texas builds teleporters that don't end in anything even remotely resembling The Fly.

Soldier......bleh, I'm expecting a rifle much like the Sniper smg but more powerful. I want them to try the Scout update again and give me something better than suicide juice and a gun that just annoys people but that's not happening. I can't wait to see what Demoman and Engineer get though. A variation on the sentry gun would be most interesting.

That would be nice, i do miss an AR style weapon in the game and the snipers smg just don't cut it.

the engi, should get a spy proof building, or maybe one that hurts a spy everytime they sap it. also, a super sledge, repairs sentry to full one hit, crits 50% increase, but swings slower.

The sandman was so RIDICULOUS OVERPOWERED originally. You could stun someone and then just MURDER them without them even having a chance. Now that people take less damage when stunned and the minimum range was increased, it's not as overpowered, but I'm not going to call a weapon that can temporarily negate uber "shitty." Being stunned while trying to uber someone is almost as annoying as that damn pyro compression blast.
