Soldier and Demo Nerfs

I don't like it, personally the soldier nerf. I agree, 40 rockets may be too much, but 20? There are numbers between that. :hmph:
I don't play the demo at any time, so I don't know what the nerfs like for them. A little less ammo sure is no fault, if it reduces some of the spam e.g. at dustbowl stage 2.

There's plenty of ammo around for it to never be a problem unless you're incompetent.

Dropped weapons, ammo boxes, lockers, dispensers...

OH WHAT WILL WE DO ;_;

yea, I think it's basically designed to a soldier or demo can't just stand and shoot their crap through a doorway, essentially blocking it for a minute or two.

Now they'll have to keep running to get ammo (providing a time window to get through) or setup near a dispenser (the world isn't always so kind as to provide these when you need them).

I'm fine with the changes, it'll bring the length of time they can spam their main weapon for more in line with Pyro and Heavy.

It is a bit limiting but look on the bright side.... it makes dispensers and assault engineers more useful
