Calling mr. Mann implies that Soldier and Demo are getting new weapons. How?
Mann Corporation is the one providing weapons to the team, remember. And competition means that there'll be achievements for killing Soldier and Demo as either class - thus getting weapons as rewards.
Makes sense, no?
Oh and besides she does say "custom orders" as in "custom weapons to be ordered".
Fuck the actual in-game stuff, where's the new Meet the...?
FFFFFFFUUUUUUUUU....
I'm not home tomorow and for 3 days :(
Well, this mean I can't kill a demoman or a soldier when playing those classes.

If they are adding weapons for Soldier and Demoman, any ideas what they may be?
What would you like to see added?

It says Mr Hale, not Mr Mann
Proximity mines for the Demoman that can't be blown up on demand, and you can only have about 4 of them out at once with a max of 8 or 12.
But this would be grossly overpowered.
How about a bottle of vodka that when caught in an explosion ignites and does extra damage?
What about the classic stick of dynamite seen in the original trailer?
How about something that replaces the bottle that will alert the Demoman that somebody is near the sticky bombs?
Frankly, I never play Soldier so I don't care what he gets.
For Soldier, i think that due to his WW2 background, replace his shotgun with Thompson machine gun. Not too overpowered. Something like SMG with Thompson model.
Or add another headshot capable m1 garand. Or something like that.
I can't wait.

Haven't we got enough of the head shot weapons though?
I don't think we need another sniper. The Spy is already a good sniper because he can cloak and stealth into unexpected places then snipe. The Soldier would be able to rocket jump up to impossible places and snipe, and with his high health and with a zoom script, he would be a better sniper than the Sniper himself.

Unless there's a huge drawback, like only 2 clips worth of ammo and no reload, and a slow firing rate or something, or rocket jumps aren't as effective or some shit like that.
I Reckon they're gonna be doing the competition in the comics.
What i mean is that they have already chosen who to update and they made the series of competitions in the comics already.
I sound like an idiot when trying to explain this

Oh shit, true. Got confused with names.

Incredibly long reload, maybe 7 or so shots, and we only have like 3 weapons capable of headshots.
I had an idea for Soldier's secondary weapon a while ago:
[B]Ammo Pack (VIP name)[/B]
It's a resupply crate the soldier carries like a backpack, basically.
~ Replaces the shotgun
~ Gives out free, neverending ammunition to teammates at Dispenser range
~ Increases Soldier's ammo capacity by 30/50% and clip by 1
Would make him more of a team player while retaining his firepower.
I woke up and the first thing I saw was the Soldier vs. Demoman update. I SO WANT THAT MEET THE DEMOMAN TAUNT.

@shadow_of_intent- Valve doesn't make unlocks by deciding what would be "cool", or what would fit the character's backstory, they go in with a idea of what they want the unlock to achieve tactically, and then base it around that, like with the sandvich they were trying to make heavies less reliant on medics. I hope they will do something to make the soldier more defensive, because I love me some defensive solly.
while fitting the character's backstory and being cool at the same time

That would be awesome.
Also, HD Meet the Demoman made me realize quite a few things about the video.

He is not made to be defensive. If you want defensive, go for the Demomans unlocks.
I can't wait.

This should be fun.

Wait a moment, there is something weird in the comic.
It takes place at the same time as Meet the Spy, right? And the competition involves the RED Demoman and the BLU Soldier, right?
But BLU Soldier dies a few minutes later, so what now? :tinfoil:

He respawned.

Every class is viable for both offense and defense, and in some cases unlockable weapons were added just to fill in some offensive/defense gaps for some classes. Originally, yes, six classes were designated "offense" and "defense", but that's changed with each update.
Though really, I've been trying to think about where the Soldier and Demoman falter in terms of offense/defense, and I can't really think of any situation where they do. Soldier's great at both - he's all about straight up firepower and he's durable to boot. If anything, his new arsenal will add tactical abilities rather than strictly offensive or defensive. I could see the Demoman's new weapons focusing a bit on offense, but he's really not that bad at offense as he is.
I guess only time will tell.

But if people respawn, what's with all the big deal over that dead Sniper in Meet the Spy? :v:
