TF2 is back with the War Update

Brought to you by TF2: The War Update

Team Fortress 2 is about to bring us all back to everyone's favorite class based shooter. Every time they update the game with new weapons for a particular class, the number of players spike as everyone, new and old, come to try the new items that change the fundamental strategies of TF2. When the last Sniper update came by, it gave Snipers the bow which allowed them to play at medium range. The updates that came with the Spy gave us annoying little invisible campers. And of course the Heavy got sandwiches.

Now the new update promises something new that, as usual, gives us all something to talk about. Like the last Sniper/Spy update, we have two classes getting new stuff at the same time. Unlike the Sniper/Spy update, heck, unlike all the other updates, it gives us something to do while they roll out the sneak previews. During the preview time, which typically goes for a week, Demomen and Soliders get points applied to their class' team universal for killing each other while playing. The class that gets the most points gets to brag and an extra fourth weapon to their load out.

I'll be getting back onto TF2 sometime this week to contribute. Will you?
