It’s about time Valves came round to giving Team Fortress 2′s neglected classes a few new toys, now development on Left 4 Dead 2 has ceased. There is a twist this time however, because there is a secret seventh weapon which will be given to either the “one-eyed bagpipe-playing sonofabitch“, or the “Brutus Benedict Arnold Judas Bloody Iscariot himself: the SOLDIER!“. The winner is the class who frags the other the most over the next week, with the results announced presumably when the update is released in a weeks time.

I have to admit, I do not play TF2 as regularly as I used to, however, updates are always fun to get involved with, and you have to do your bit for the war effort. Therefore I have to chose a side, which is tough considering they are my two most played classes. The Demoman’s ‘Meet The Team’ video is probably my favourite of the bunch, but I have more hours played as the Soldier, and find the soldier’s playstyle more entertaining than the Demoman’s. Needless to say I will be having many games of TF2 in the following week, hunting down and killing as many Demomen as I can find.

Keep track of the WAR! status here.

Update: I think this team has decided who they’re supporting. Click for full image.
