The War Outcome is Saddening Me

And to think I fought like a crazy mofo as the demo during the war :(.

It's a shame that Demos have no good weapons for long range combat except for the Stickie and Pipe Bomb Launchers, both of which have a lot of variables that can effectively murder their user if not done right.

[QUOTE=Shugo;19827332]Sixty agrees. I think it's pretty safe to say that at this point most people wouldn't mind if Valve let the Demoman use the Gunboats now. :v:

It would actually just be a simple edit to tf_items. All they need to do is add the Demoman as an eligible class. The Gunboats already fit on his player model just fine.[/QUOTE]

This gave me the idea to edit the items_game.ctx and see how useful the Gunboats are for a Demoman.

GUYS.

YOU CAN STICKYJUMP WITH EIGHT STICKIES [b]AND LIVE[/b].

I feel bad for being a soldier during the War. :(

I didn't support demomen because to be honest, demomen piss me off, they're a bullshit class in pyrovdemo, so I didn't want them to win.

But all the replacements favour pyros so far (except the sco res.)
Rarely seeing sticky whores makes me very very happy.

That's why I was Medic where there was no shortage of bloody saps needing my healing touch. That was a major boost toward my "Chief of Staff" achievement.

The war update could have had a difrent item for each character. For all we know demoman could have gotten a magic beer bottle that allows him to shoot nades out his nose. I dont recall anyone saying that if demo won, He'd get the same item sooly would have gotten. Now Just because the gunboats would work on both of them dosent mean that they planed for it to be the same unock for them both right?

Given the wording of the announcements and various comments from VALVe employees, it seems far more likely that either class could have gotten the gunboats.

It's possible that the Demo may have gotten something different visually (boots seem like more of a Soldier thing- maybe the Gunkilt?), but I'm fairly certain that it would have had the same function.

[Alistor]

Well the vtf/vmt files for the Gunboats are "c_rocketboots_demo," so odds are the Gunboats were going to be for either winner, though the name would likely be different for the Demo.

Valve employees said it was going to be the same item, and the Gunboats still work perfectly with the Demoman if you change their tf_items attributes to include the Demoman as a usable class.

You guys have fun...While i play as a scout.

But when Valve employees and some other people say "The Demoman's version is better, trust us.", then it's your fault for not listening.[/QUOTE]
I never heard this, so v:smile:v

I've done it a few times.
It's really very fun to fire MILES into the air and yet still have lots of health left.

[QUOTE=NOT King Shit;19822884]As much as I would have loved to have gunboats for the demo, you just know that someone out there was gonna go targe/gunboats/eyelander.[/QUOTE]

Problem solved.

targe+gunboats = no ranged weapon

gunboats only affect splash damage you use on yourself so it'd be a waste since you can't stickyt jump WITHOUT THE STICKY LAUNCHER

:/

Gunboats replace the secondary weapon. In the loadout menu the Grenade Launcher is secondary and Sticky is primary.

It's always funny how you can tell who didn't actually read the OP.

[GaLm]

They definitely would help out the class, although to be honest, soldiers only won because of the propaganda.

[quote=MATH!]
Soldier war kill count: 6,323,921
Demoman war kill count: 6,298,465

Soldier got 60k for 2 propaganda
Demoman got 25k

So Soldier got a 35k boost.

6,323,921 - 35,000 = 6,288,921.

[B]6,298,465 > 6,288,921[/B]

And if you want to just take away the Propaganda points entirely:
[B]6,273,465 > 6,258,921[/B]
[/quote]

Doesn't matter now though, I hope they throw in a random update that gives the Demoman the gunboats or something similar.

I did like the winning propaganda.

[Spazi]

I crafted 22 items trying to get gunboats, and all I got was a fucking duplicate bugle.
