The New War: different than the Old War

Another update cycle has begun. The Soldier and the Demoman are the beneficiaries this time around, but Valve has added a twist. In addition to the standard three new weapons gifted to each class, one additional weapon is up for grabs. The secret seventh armament will be awarded to whichever of the two classes kills the other more during the War Update period, currently underway.

So does this mean we'll find a bevy of servers where everybody is one of the two at-war classes?  (Quite possibly, and it might even be fun.) What's the strategy? If you want the Soldier class to win, for example, do you simply try to pummel the Scottish cyclopes, or do you join as a Demoman and suck it up as hard as possible whenever a Soldier is around?  If people choose the second option, will the Spy be pissed at the fraudulent appropriation of his idiosyncrasies? Will Soldiers ignore opposing Soldiers? Same with the Demomen?

Looks like it's time to load up TF2 again.
