A new update is currently taking place for Team Fortress 2. Soldier’s face off against Demomen all week to prove who’s the toughest and more importantly secure an exclusive weapon unlock for the class with the most kills of the opposing class at the end of the week. Each class will also receive three new weapon options and multiple achievements as found in previous class updates.
“So: how is the War update different from our other class updates?”
“In many ways, it’s not. Like any other class update, the War update will reveal three new weapons each for the Demoman and Soldier throughout the week, as well as some maps, achievements, and surprises, right up until the day of release, when everything we’ve been teasing goes live.”
“Where the War update differs from other class updates is that we’ve decided to mix things up a little with, as the Administrator would say, “a healthy competition.” A secret, exclusive seventh weapon has also been developed by the TF2 team. In other words, either the Soldier or the Demo (but NOT both) is walking out of this update with one more weapon than the other. If you want your class to have it, you’re going to have to fight for it. The more Demomen you kill as the Soldier class will help ensure the Soldier gets the weapon at the end of the week.”
“The more Soldiers you kill as the Demo will help the Demo class get the exclusive seventh weapon. Check back daily to see how your class is doing at the War hubpage — this is also where you’ll see links to all the leaked previews of the weapons, maps, and surprises releasing soon with this update. What if some of you try to cheat to bump the numbers? We’ll know. (Though we also know many of you won’t be able to resist trying anyway.)”
UPDATE: The new update also features Crafting which allows players to finally make use of all the extra weapon and item pickups they may have gathered in their (until now) seemingly pointless backpack. Go here to find out how this works. This is really quite clever and relieves me of any worries I may have had that the backpack was a pointless addition to the game which was leading nowhere fast.
The Soldiers seem to be pulling out a convincing lead in the race for Soldier – Demo kills. It looks very unlikely that Demomen will be able to pull it back at this stage and bag that exclusive 7th weapon due in the update.

Hi, I'm Dash. I've been with total oblivion for about 5 years. I'm proud to be part of a gaming community like this and I'm still amazed when our European members fly over for the usual summer LAN. If you're in Europe and you're a fun gamer with a mature attitude then we want to know you. :) 
Just one more thing. What do you think of my first attempt at posing in Garry’s Mod?
In case you haven’t checked out TF2 since the update you should. It’s awesome. The only negative thing I’ve heard about it so far is that now the Soldier seems almost too powerful. Expect to see a lot of Soldier using their new weapons for the next few months.
Very good read. Does anyone know a good Battlefield Clan I can join??
@Battlefield. No sorry I haven’t played BF in a team recently (apart from a few fun games of BF heroes) we used to have a BF2 team a few years ago. I like your BF3 website, do you run that?
