Gentlemen, I have news for you. [b]The color of the Saxton Hale comic book, as well as the Poopy Joe secret page, have been changed. They are now exhibiting a more brownish, worn hue.[/b] I cannot stress the importance of this vital (see) information enough.
No thanks are necessary, I am merely performing my duties... and as such, I am required to administer a sufficient dose of bullshit to pad this topic:
The Demoman will be receiving a god damn claymore sword.
The Soldier will be receiving a delightful little bugles.
There's a pickaxe too, but no one cares about that... Engineer, maybe.
Additionally, the kill counts have been updated; Soldier leads by 240,000.

The 4th unlockable for both classes is the same.
Very likely that Valve just decided to change the colours, but equally likely that there are some shenanigans involved. You never really know with Valve.
My life has changed forever
god bless you for this thread.
Hmm, maybe there is more to this. The new, warmer images are e.g. [url=http://www.teamfortress.com/war/saxtonhale/images/01f.jpg]01f.jpg[/url], [url=http://www.teamfortress.com/war/saxtonhale/images/02f.jpg]02f.jpg[/url] while the originals are still there as [url=http://www.teamfortress.com/war/saxtonhale/images/01.jpg]01.jpg[/url] etc.
You'd think if they just changed the colours they'd save over the originals.
What could the f be? Fucking awesome?

Are you referring to me mentioning the bugle and claymore? I was suggesting that they might be melee or secondary weapon replacements. I know that the mystery unlockable is the same for both classes.
... Face it, anyone would love to see a Demoman flying across the map with a ****ing claymore in his grasp.
Edit: 1f could signify that it's the final version of the image; to be honest, I'm not expecting anything.
The brown is supposed to show that they are old? As in a deal of time has passed since said events? Just a thought.

Probably 'faded.'
:patriot:
Maybe it's just some gimmick about all this information ageing in the "Archives of War"

I love it how Valve always fucks with our minds

He means it has become more brown since yesterday.
Also why does everyone automatically believe some guy who isnt even working in valve, about how the weapons are same and how demoman benefits more when you clearly see his favorite class is demoman.
[QUOTE=PirateMax;18943918]I love it how Valve always fucks with our minds[/QUOTE]
Oh dear god, you've made me start thinking about brain sex. I'm sure there's fan fiction for that.
anyone know any soldier vs demo servers
Wait, its BROWN now.
The Demoman is BROWN too.
:tinfoil:
If it grows an Eyepatch I'm out of here.

Seeing as how the newspaper's from 1962 and the game takes place in 1968, I'd say you're right...
...wait a minute. How can it report news about a war 6 years before it happened? :pwn:
The sword is AMERICAN STEEL, wouldn't the Soldier be more fit to have it?
Good info, I'll be sure to take note of it.
So, the time has been moved forward...
This means the WAR actually happened/started before the war between RED/BLU whatever?
If this doesn't make any sense, don't mind this post.

Using astrology, I have deduced the answer:
1962: The Announcer notices that the Demoman and Soldier are friends, and plots to drive them apart. Saxton Hale is contacted and agrees to provide ordinance. Nation celebrates mysterious hippie massacre, labeling it as an act of God.
[One week passes (Valve time: six years)]
1968: War!
What sneaky tricks are coming with this update...I wonder...
This is most likely nothing, but still nice find.
But why this gone brown?
[QUOTE=pawelte1;18944827]But why this gone brown?[/QUOTE]
dunno why

Awesome. I'd play demo just to run around and scream like in Braveheart.
How do you know that those are the new weapons?

The weapons looked modeled
Engineer spilled his coffee on it.
ENGINEER UPDATE! :banjo:

I just made a joke like this to a friend on Steam, except I said the comic is slowly burning in a campfire made by the Engineer in Meet the Engineer.
ENGINEER UPDATE! :v:
I see not how this effects anything
