    Upgrade #1: Bat replacement unlockable, The Sandman.

    You Scouts are gonna love this highly collectible bat that smacks baseballs at the other team, stunning the living crap outta anybody dumb, slow, drunk, mute or Australian enough to get in the way. The farther the ball flies before ricocheting offa some chucklehead's skull, the longer he's gonna be stunned. And guys who think they're tough because they're invulnerable? It works on them too. Now the bad news: You can't double jump when you're carrying this little beauty. On the other hand, double jumping never put anybody in a coma

    A. Hit a guy with the ball to stun him. The farther the ball travels, the longer he’s gonna be out.
    B. Now laugh at the guy because he ain’t doin’ nothin for a while but gettin’ beat on.
    C. Get in there and take some cheap shots! You deserve it. So does he. Batter SWING!

    I'm not sure I'd be willing to give up the mobility the double jump gives me as a scout.

    Double jump is practically all I do as scout.

    I almost never double jump. If I'm a scout, it's because I see an opportunity to do an end-run.

    But, double jumping never put anybody in a coma.

    The ability to stun an opponent who is über is easily worth losing the double jump for a bit.

    With all the excitement of the new Scout weapon nobody seems to have noticed the new Demoman nerf. Scouts and Pyros just got a little better at taking down that Black Scottish Cyclops.

    Man, will the demoman nerfs never end? D:<

    (Bonus points if you can say "man, will the demoman nerfs never end" five times fast.)

    They discuss the reasons for the demo nerf:

    So their reasoning is "demomen shouldn't be useful up close."

    Demomen were already one of if not the easiest class for a scout to kill at close range.

    In my opinion, they should be almost completely useless up-close. That should be their disadvantage. Every class needs to have trade-offs. At first, the trade off for the demoman was that his weapons were difficult to aim, since all of his weapons were balistic. However, everyone has gotten so good at arching with the demoman, that it's not really a disadvantage anymore, making him a class with no disadvantages for some skilled players. This is an attempt to remedy that, and I welcome it.

    I think they're trying to force him into his intended role of area denial. That still doesn't stop a team of 3-4 demomen rolling most of a team.

    That's how I'm taking the 'nerf' as well.

    ahem. haven't played in a month or two since i got my xbox (blush). What's this about the nerf?
  • mas0nmas0n howdy Icrontian
    edited February 2009
    I haven't seriously played the Demo since it's original nerf while the game was still beta. For those first few weeks of beta I absolutely DOMINATED with the demoman.

    Demoman used to be far and away my #1 class. Now I have more hours as Engie, Heavy, and Scout.

    I wouldn't have a problem with that if they couldn't be destroyed.

    Demo really hasn't been nerfed that badly. All who played tonight would acknowledge that fact.
