Well, the WAR continues into another two days. The current tally has soldiers leading by 218,999 kills. Exciting!
But not as exciting as the revelation of the long awaited CRAFTING SYSTEM! Finally, your eight Razorbacks will be useful for SOMETHING.
The system seems pretty simple: certain combinations of items will craft certain other items. Apparently, there will be ‘blueprints’ everyone will get right away (I’m guessing for the normal unlocks as opposed to hats) describing what combinations to use for some items. Others, however, will have to be worked out on your own (well, really, you plus the entire TF2 community).
Also, a propaganda contest for which the reward is a unique (!!!) item and a continuation of the Announcer comic which follows Saxton Hale. Speaking of Saxton, who is that in the middle of the crafting page?
Edit: As Melon pointed out, there is this “secret” mail-in order form for some commemorative plates (which includes a fake P.O. box, don’t bother mailing anything). Also, from the chalkboard in the most recent WAR newspaper:

BEST UPDATE EVER.
Not only has the pre-release period been FUN, but we get the crafting system and an extra unlock to the winning team/both teams if valve pulls that crap? I love you so much right now, valve.

This is an uplifting piece of info after the recent flood of explosives in servers.

I’m curious on why the shovel has an item slot in the crafting page.

You can smelt an Engineers head!

The new launcher reminds me of a recoilless rifle.

@El Jay: “an extra unlock to the winning team/both teams if valve pulls that crap?”
Dude, what if we tie? For the last couple of days, we should all go Demoman and attempt to exactly even the score.
’cause y’know, the Demomen will DEFINITELY be the ones needing the help.
