Who else expects the Soldier Update to be announced in a couple days (on the 4th of July)?

(Medic>Pyro) -It has been 45 days since the Sniper vs. Spy update -VALVe doesn't work on the weekends. But they have been working hard for the past weeks, because there hasn't been any announcements for just under a month. We have gone longer without blog posts. -The engineer update is going to be next, most likely. If you look at Day 4 of the Sniper vs Spy update, pull up the Source code. About halfway down the source code, it says "Spy sappin' mah update." This is not seen on the regular page.

Heavy - 77% speed Soldier - 80% speed Demoman - 93% speed Engineer, Spy, Sniper, Pyro - 100% speed Medic - 107% speed Scout - 133% speed He is right with the other (normal speed) classes, and 23% faster then the heavy.
