This is really wierdWhat do you think this is about? Maybe if 2 people from opposing teams work together to grief or just fool around, these get triggered somehow? E.g., if me or phevnil go about ubering the other (who is a disguised enemy spy) and sap some sentries, do you think TF2 will notice and the Announcer will let us know? Or is this for stacked teams, where many of the people on one team are steam friends? Apparently, nobody has figured it out yet.

I have no idea. 0_0
Maybe if medics refuse to heal anyone but a single person? Or is it a new game mode teaser?

People have thought that it might be a gamemode teaser, but the video description says that it's already used in-game and there is already a specific scenario for it...

Some people think it might be "anti-dominations", where when you assist the same person 4 or more times without dying you get a "friendship".

Things I know:
Not a new gametype.
Only Demomen and Soldiers hear it.
There is a trigger that gives a demo/solly a 10% chance of hearing the new announcer voices.
Speculation: Demo/Solly update.

Hm, demo and solly are the only two classes that can injure themselves, because they have explosives.

I heard the "friendship ends in 30 seconds" line in place of the "mission begins in 30 seconds" as demoman; I guess it's just random line replacement.

In case someone hasn't figured this out yet, the Soldier vs. Demoman update is coming out before December 17th.
The proof is in the last page.
"Call Mister Hale. Tell him we have some custom orders for him."
New weapons ahoy.

I love how one of their trips is to a gravel pit, and how the demo is crying at the eye museum.
I also find it interesting that they're expanding upon the TF2 universe with Ms. Pauling, and how they make it explicit how the announcer (the administrator?) is playing both sides. Hooray, exposition!

Yup, the announcer is The Administrator from now on. The blog post is from "the Administrator", so I guess that now that we know for sure that she runs things, Valve wants us to call her by a more authoritative title.

looks like one of the devs leaked a hintif that is legit they're tracking kills between demo/solly, whichever class wins gets the update? supposedly regardless of color, despite all this talk of friends. a dual update makes more sense to me though... edit: more likely, the competition begins tonight and includes updates for both classes. But whichever class wins the overall update gets something special. |

Hey, support Demoman! They're the underdog right now, and are waaaay cooler than the soldier!

Nah, Soldier!
I mean, I don't really care either way, but I play Soldier moreso than Demoman, so I'd like a weapon that I'll actually use.

True but soldier totally beats demoman in one on one, so I am worried this will overpower soldier.

Soldier is overall my most played class, demo my least... I hate fighting demomen the most... Soldier is really fun to battle... I think I'll play Demoman in the war!  The demoman has such a great character that when it comes to war nothing else matters. |
