VALVe has done it again and stirred up the rumor mill. The Team Fortress 2 blog has a teaser comic posted for possible updates "coming soon." If anyone follows VALVe, "coming soon" could mean lots of things in VALVe time.

Either way, I'm stoked.

**mortal888**

I love everything they do with TF2.

I wish I could get a hat though. :/ They need to like double the random chance equation. They're saying you'll average 1 random hat for 120 hours of game time, and it might not even be for a class that you play!

I was hoping for a Christmas promo like the Halloween one though.

**Soup and a roll**

Like a fool, I play TF2 on the 360. Does anyone know if there are any plans to ship some of the awesome pc goodness our way?

Edit: Or I could just use Google. Please ignore that!

Back on topic. I would like some half-life goodness. Where's episode 3 at?

**mortal888**

I don't even see how someone could play it on the 360. Microsoft won't allow any updates at all! Even game fixes or tweaks.

**BrookM**

Actually, the 360 won't allow it, MS has nothing to with it, so please leave that out. The orange box has already stretched the 360 tech to its limits and Valve is still busy reworking the game updates to work on the 360.

**ergotoxin**

Cool, I hope they will finally add items and achievements for engineer. If they would, I might give the game a chance again.

If not, Ill just stay with ET: Quake Wars

**Dal'yth Dude**

The last time I played was shortly after the scout got his updates. Has the game changed much since then?

**pakman**

@mortal888
I only have one hat after many hours of gameplay, and it's for a class that I rarely play: the heavy.

@Dal'yth Dude
The Spy and Sniepr have gotten updates and achievements as well. The sniper rifle replacement make the sniper more mobile. The spy update is really fun. One of the new cloak types let's you fake your death and keep on moving.

**Dal'yth Dude**

thanks pakman. I never played those classes much, but I can see how they'd really make the game more fun.

**Axyl**

Well, seeing as soldier and demoman haven't had any updates to their class yet, it seems that they are next on the list.

**BrookM**

I'd like to see movies for both that sadistic ex-nazi and that soulless monster.

**Dal'yth Dude**

I'm primarily a soldier and medic when I do play. Would definitely play more if the soldier got an update.

**dogma**

I'm really intrigued to see what they do with both these classes, as they're already very well balanced.

It would be even funnier if the video for the soulless monster never took the mask off, talking in muffles, and they never answered the question of gender.

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.)

Alright, enough talk. Who'd you rather see get this exclusive new weapon? The Demoman? Or the Soldier? The War starts right now, so get out there and vote with your kills!

**mortal888**

Soldier all the way!!!

**Cane**

My favorite class is the pyro, love hearing the nubs complain about W+M1. If you die to that consistently you're the nub!

TF2 has been my most played video game this year after I quit WOW. Hopefully the new updates are coming soon and not too overpowered; flashbacks of the Scout update's OP'dness are not pleasant memories especially as a pyro.

**P4NC4K3**

Personally, Im on the Soldier side, take that ya scottish b*st*rds!

**Anung Un Rama**

The update also added something TF2 never had before. A Plot.

**astrolux444**

lame update

**garret**

That game is/was fun. to bad we x-box players got jipped.
