Steam have gone and messed up the Demoman by cutting his ammo in half. No doubt due to the constant whiners saying.."..omg demo spam, oh no.." Now the class is almost useless as you run out too quick. It's an inacurate slow travel weapon and there was absolutely no need to do that. :x:x

Good move in my opinion, they did the same thing to soldier. But you still get 50% ammo back from weapons lying around or ammo scattered across the map, it shouldn't really bother anyone ;-P
They're setting it up to up introduce an amigo, "...you be wantin some ammo now..." http://www.simiancage.org/forum/showthread.php?t=1616
Hmm...
This makes pyro and heavy more effective... sticky spam was a defense against them...
Makes engineers more usefull with dispenser, but how many engies do you know who actually build dispensers out in the field?
I'm really not sure on this. On the one hand I was getting annoyed by long-range ammo spams, but on the other perhaps it is too far...

They're trying to force me to use some skill, rather than just indiscriminately flinging bombs?
Damn them :x
I am sort of looking forward to see how this plays out TBCH. I get nobbled by demo chanrges way more often than I would like and I have to admit that I just cant figure how how to get any sort of decent kill streak going myself so anything that nerfs a class I dont play is good :shock::mrgreen:.
Well I've recently found that I <3 demo.
After practice, the sticky bomb charge up is awesome for anti-sentyr and anti-sniper =D

No!.. not you too-- uhm, yes. Well the sticky bombs are awesome for everything actually, one wellplaced/wellshot sticky bomb can oneshot lowtier classes like spy (Now you know why I don't like your class choise), medics engineers scouts and so on. Now a critical glowy sticky mine with a chance of doom can kill a fully buffed heavy and his medic-- and anyone else standing in a 15meter radius.
I guess I forgot what my point was, but it has something to do with hating demomen. :yes:

Don't get me wrong, I like demoman now, but I am still a pyro at heart :)
Crit sticky can't kill buffed heavy, need atleast one more sticky for that ;)

A well placed, like exactly under the heavy, perfectly triggered, will blow him to kingdom kong. :tongue:
