In a game that’s all about an ongoing fictional war, you’d think that calling an update “war” might be a tad redundant. But since there really isn’t a better word for technologically advanced armed combat on a massive scale, Valve’s sticking with the tried and true “W” word. So, what’s War good for? Well, for the Soldier and Demoman, three new weapons are on the way. There’s a bit of a catch, though: The well-documented Demoman-Soldier bromance saga must come screeching to a very bloody halt.
See, along with the eternal currency known as “bragging rights,” a fourth weapon is up for grabs. To the winner goes the spoils, however, so the foes-turned-friends-turned-foes-again are duking it out for the final mystery weapon. Whoever tallies the most kills by the end of the week bags the big prize. And if you were wondering, right now, team Soldier is winning by a very slight margin, so go turn that tide, Demomen!
But if you’d rather create than destroy, there’s something in this update for you too. Using a brand new crafting system, you’ll be able to turn all of your useless duplicate items into whatever your mind can imagine. If all that your mind imagines is guns and hats.
The update goes live on Thursday, and you can preload the necessary files right now. Happy hunting!

I tried this game for the very first time last night and I was absolutely clueless. I had a gun and I knew that I needed to shoot somebody but other than that I was lost. I played for about 5 minutes and threw in the towel.

What the hell has this game turned into?!
Even though I am a diehard TFC fan, you have to admit TF2 is entertaining!

New rocket launcher seems really interesting. Can't wait to try it out!
