The war update is out, following the conclusion of hostilities the last week between the demoman and solider. The solider was victorious by a small margin, but it results in an extra unlockable weapon in this update for the two most versatile classes in the game. Information of the updates below and on our forums:
It is with great sadness that we announce the passing away of =XDC=Mugworth earlier this month. For those of you who knew him through =XDC=, 7thDR, Hussars or RD, you will know what a fantastic person he was, both at playing games and also as a buddy who has been on TS chatting away for what seems like years. Personally I will miss playing TF2 with him, or rather tactfully waiting for him to choose a side and then joining it so I didn’t have to get decimated by him again! Others will miss him for other reasons, all will miss him though.
Mugs was a highly respected and much loved member of many gaming communities and the Hussars have dedicated this seasons HCC cup in honour of him, HCC4:The Mugworth Memorial Trophy and =XDC= will be getting together to play some BF1942 in his memory very soon (date and time to be announced).
R.I.P. Mugs, I hear heaven has the best games!

Those over at ninecraft racing who used to race with Mugs have paid tribute to Mugs as well:
It was out a few days ago and you can read up on it here.
Coinciding with the update Valve released another video, Meet the Sanvich!
Our TF2 server has undergone a major overhaul, with map voting now properly enabled, a ton of custom maps added, and Hlstatsx enabled. Please post any issues you are having on our forums and we’ll try to have them sorted as soon as possible.

If only to brighten up the frontpage with another video, here’s the latest installment from Valve introducing all the classes, this time Meet the Sniper 
Friendly match to be played on Thursday 5th June at 19:30.
There will be a couple of restrictions on classes, but on the whole the plan is just to have a really big match 12 V 12 is what we’re hoping for atm and with the rats involved places could be scarce, so all interested book your place on the forums asap.
Last week wasn’t organised the best, and didn’t work out at all, but we’ll make one final attempt at getting the TF2 team idea off the ground.
The date for the game will be Thursday 22nd May, and we’ll try and start it at 8pm. Anyone who’s interested try and be on Steam at 7-30pm though, as it’ll help with starting on time.
Anyone interested in getting together a joint XDC and Rat TF2 team, try and be on steam tomorrow night from about 7:30pm. We’ll be trying to organise some sort of game, whether amongst ourselves, or against a friendly clan, but either way we really need to gauge whether there is enough interest in putting the team together at all.
There will be a new update for TF2 released by the end of April featuring a new game mode and significant changes to the medic class. For more info check out the thread on our forums http://forums.xdcuk.com/viewtopic.php?f=21&t=4352
