A day later, the war rages on—the kill tally is, quite literally, in the millions, and the forums are alive with the sounds of people having good, friendly fun while hurling bitter, teary-eyed recrimination at one another.

You’ll be happy to know the Demo/Soldier War has even taken hold inside the Valve offices. Sides have been drawn. Normally cheerful co-workers point fingers and whisper angry things about other co-workers’ mothers. It’s dark, folks. The police have been called eight times today. Granted, times two, three and seven were was because TF2 team member Drew Wolfe kept getting an M&M stuck up his nose, but I think you take my point: this thing’s starting to get interesting.

So what better move on our part than to add fuel to the fire? Check out our new Propaganda Contest, which has prizes like a one-of-a-kind exclusive in-game item for use by you and you only, NAMED after you and you only, and bearing your name (and your name only) on it.

Keep fighting the good fight, Sollys and Demos. Here are a couple sprays for you to support your cause: Demo or Soldier.

Four of the top maps from the Killing Floor Grindhouse Custom Map Making Competition:

• KF-Icebreaker – Winner of the $10,000 grand prize in the mapping competition and one of the most ambitious, creative, and visually stunning Killing Floor maps ever made, Icebreaker is set on a large icebreaking ship that is pitching and rolling in the middle of a fierce storm.
• KF-Departed – Winner of second place in the final wave of the mapping competition, Departed is a visually impressive level set in an industrial city area outside of London. Featuring hectic gameplay this map plays as good as it looks.
• KF-Crash – Winner of third place in the final wave of the mapping competition, Crash is an impressive remake of a classic custom map for the original Killing Floor mod. The map is set in an urban storage facility where your team’s helicopter has crashed.
• KF-FilthsCross – Winner of second place in the first wave of the mapping competition, FilthsCross is both incredibly fun and intense. Be warned, this map set in an Underground tube station is one of the most challenging Killing Floor maps ever made.

Changelist for Mare Nostrum:

• 26 all new Steam achievements.
• 14 new infantry weapons, such as the ever-distinctive Thompson submachine gun, Bren machine gun, Beretta 1934 pistol, and the SMLE rifle.
• Full Italian and Polish localisations.
• Over 20 new crewable vehicles including the Carro Armato M13/40 and Semovente 75/18 for the Italians, countered with multiple Valentine tank variants, plus the Stuart I, Matilda II and Vickers Mk VIB.

12 new maps, including:

• Crete – Fallschirmjager units dropping into the midst of Australian defenders in this classic battle.
• Ancona Approach – The Fallschirmjager are back in action, this time defending against the Polish advance in eastern Italy.
• Gazala Line – Desert tank warfare does not get bigger than this. Start your engines and prepare for total war.
• Road To Tunis – The war in North Africa is almost over, but the British must first push the Axis tanks from one last mountain valley to reach Tunis.
• Tobruk Central – The Australian defenders have been under siege for longer than they can remember, how much longer will they be able to hold out?
• Bardia – The Italian garrison is surrounded, but they will not give us this cliff top town and its valuable port without a struggle.
