11:11 Soldier Update

yharrothar · 11-11-2009, 02:20 PM

No update today. A little disappointing!

So, to commemorate this day I will make a fake update page full of YOUR IDEAS. I'm a skilled designer and can make something that looks like it was released by Valve.

Let's do the soldier update. Post your unlock ideas, achievements, and what you would personally like to see on the page.

I still need more ideas to add.

All I can think of is that the Update is told by the Soldier himself, instead of an anonymous pitchman that narrates the significance of the update in the previous ones

by far my favorite idea: http://forums.steampowered.com/forum...d.php?t=837516
although it seems a little op, I feel it should do like, 75% of the damage but w/e

Achivement Ideas:
Fruit Baskets!: Kill 10 Scouts while double jumping with (shotgun unlock)
Spineless Worms: Kill 5 disguised spy's with (new rocket unlock)
Red White and Blu: Win a match while playing red and one in blue. The soldier must be used the most during these matches.
Screaming Eagles: Kill 5 demomen while rocket jumping.
USA ftw: Defend the control point in a KoH match 5 times.
Rocket Man: Rocket jump 50 times.

I'd like a shovel that you can mount midair and slam down for a shovel crit right on the enemy.When you mount the shovel you go straight down. If you miss, you get stuck in the ground for 2 seconds but still don't revieve damage. It works yoshi's body slam thing in the mario games.

The Screaming Eagle
-Does no damage
-Crits on headshots

pick out the soldier ideas. Thanks!

yharrothar · 11-11-2009, 02:29 PM

I can do that no problem. Just need the best ideas to put into the update.

Zaro27 · 11-11-2009, 02:35 PM

My Rocket Launcher sidegrade, Shotgun sidegrade, and Shovel sidegrade. If you chose them, you can name them as you please.

$50 bucks says something gets drawn up with stick figures and crappy text in MS paint. I want to see some of your work before I believe it.

NylonAdmiral · 11-11-2009, 02:39 PM

Anyway you could work in some metal boots that are used by rocket jumping upward and then crash down on your enemies heads? You would be my best friend forever.

FOREVER!!!!

Does anyone have pictures of that one update that that one kid said his dad helped him make? The hillariously bad grenades that were described as "basically a 1 hit kill" but were apparently "balanced because you only get 10."

casvdry · 11-11-2009, 02:42 PM

Fine I'll play along.

Soldiers ration..

Replaces the shotgun. When eaten speeds up the soldier by 20% for 10 seconds. Has a timer like the Bonk energy drink and works the same way only there is no slowdown effect when done.

Pros: Can be more aggressive into battle and flee out of battle quicker. More of a crafty/swift soldier than a normal tanking soldier.

Cons: No medium range weapon, more susceptible to battles during reload.

I doubt Valve would implement these two because:

1. Some players do not know how to rocketjump
2. Detection for this achievement would be very buggy...it would be hard to detect a proper rocketjump, etc.

Knome · 11-11-2009, 02:51 PM

not really flamebaiter

It may be hard for some players to get the hang of it, but it's really not that hard to do the basic height jump. It would really encourage players to RJ more often.

Also, I don't think there would be problems with the achievement.

Look at the achievement Pilot Light for the pyro. It detects when the soldier is in mid-air after a jump.

I'm assuming a lot of the soldier acheievements, or at least a good amount of them deal with jumping.
