Except for the secret unlockable of course.
The Demoman gets a new sticky grenade launcher and the soldier gets a rallying banner as well as a new pickaxe.
Read all about it here.
To start off, a new comic.
One new weapon official – new rocket launcher:
A high precision version of the standard-issue rocket launcher, the Direct Hit has been engineered from the ground up for Soldiers who have mastered the art of shooting at their targets instead of vaguely near them. Those of you looking to deal splash damage, stop reading now: the Direct Hit has a 70% smaller blast radius than a traditional rocket launcher. But the rockets that come out of this thing move fast and hit hard: 80% faster and with 25% more destructive force. Best of all, for you real sharpshooters, the Direct Hit guarantees mini-crits on airborne targets.
Some new stuff in the Valve store including skins for the unspeakable phone. Pity they don’t have any Android versions.
And of course, as traditional with a new update we get a free weekend of public mayhem.
We have started the transition to 1.2.0 on our mumble servers, with a closed beta test today. Overall the sound quality is even better than the 1.1.8 version.
Two things to consider when updating:

Read all about it here. It seems like the original cast will team up with the new cast somewhere.
The question everybody is asking is – how much will they charge for the DLC?
Two demoman unlocks have been revealed:
It’s a close combat set! Sword and Shield. I guess the sword replaces the bottle and the shield will replace the sticky grenade launcher.

Crafting is a reality with the upcoming patch.
Anyone up for an explosive flamethrower?
I have installed HLStatsX CE on tf.muppfarmen.se as well now.
We’re going to try to mix up the maplist a bit with a mix of standard and custom maps. Rumours say that there is some demand for a low ping swedish server with the possibilities to run custom maps. Since we have the infrastructure in place, including fast download of the bzip2-versions of the maps from a web server we figured we can offer this.
We will take into consideration suggestions for maps to have in the mapcycle. Add a comment here for instance!
Valve decided to give us all a Christmas present! It’s the highly awaited Demoman and soldier update – with a twist, the popularity of the class decides whether it should get three or four new items! As usual it will take a week of teasing until the update is live. Let the competition begin…

There are rumors about a blu soldier and a red demoman. I wonder what?

Another bugfix update. The servers are updating now. Pity Valve won’t make forked servers autoupdate.
