More content for the soldier! WOOO.
Seriously, damn it Walker. Do we really NEED 5 packs for the soldier, plus like 16 other items? Jesus.
Hopefully one of those rockets soldier found will have engy ♥♥♥♥ in it.

so if I own brink already, I don't get the hat for the free weekend? Sucks.

According to the TF2 blog, you should get it.
Trade someone or wait for a drop and it will probably show up.

Don't forget the wingstick engineer gets when you preorder rage!

Ah yes there is also this:



To be fair it's just a reskin
And the engie also gets two items
So this update has a 2:1 engineer:soldier item balance
So actually the engineer is benefitting more from this than the soldier
So your complaints sound really, really silly

Just saying that mideval mode is considerably cooler with the demoman magicka hood and the sniper brink hood.

Oh, cool. Engy get's two reskins that add nothing new to the game, and soldier only gets one.
Engy has 6 wrenches, and 2 non wrench items besides hats.
To my knowledge soldier hasn't NOT had an update since the classless update.
Which was a long time ago.
Your reasoning sounds really, really silly.

You were under the impression there were no engineer items, despite the fact that I already told you there was one and then found another
I was correcting your error

Wow miggles you're stupid last soldier update was pretty much yesterday.

But honestly, there isn't a lot of variety they could give soldier, seeing as demoman already has a grenade launcher.

I don't see how you seem to think that a rocket launcher is any easier to make than any other themed weapon.

(and btw the reason we have so many soldier packs is because Robin Walker likes soldier.)

Gabe likes spy why aren't there more spy updates huh?

And honestly, a rocketlauncher is just some form of tube with a grip and trigger and hole in one end, it's both easy to model and easy to find fitting things for.

Now try thinking up a secondary replacement for engineer.

Because rocket launchers are a tube that launches someone at something that then explodes
They are almost brainless to design

Meaningful engineer items are a lot harder to come up with because they don't spend most of their time looking at people and pressing M1

There's always wrenches, but still, even those tend to be more imaginative than the soldier launchers.

Miggles, as you're counting unlockable weapons, the engineer really only has three wrenches.
The Jag, Southern Hospitality and the Gunslinger.
Two of which are stat-changing reskins.

A potential secondary could be some kind of pistol replacement (More damage, smaller clip or something), which changes out the dispenser or teleporter for something else.

Nah valve's said that the dispenser and teleporter are too important to be changed out.
