The soldier barely won out over the demoman in the TF2 WAR. Soldiers won some awesome boots called the Gunboats. These boots reduce the damage taken from rocket-jumping. If the demomen had won they would have received similar (or same) boots to reduce sticky-jumping damage.

I love this picture they made!

If you’ve never tried TF2 (shame!) this is your chance to give it a shot for free. Valve is hosting another free weekend of play that will start Thursday night when the update goes live.

So get in there and blow some suckas up!

What do you think?

Do you miss Francis, Bill, Zoey, and Louis? Well, chin up! The crew from L4D1 will be appearing in the first expansion for L4D2.

Expected in early spring 2010, “The Passing” will include new arenas for Survival, Versus and Scavenge mode. Arenas? Very interesting. I’m hyped!

There will also be a new co-op challenge play mode as well as more uncommon zombies.

My trigger-happy, zombie-killing hands can’t wait to snatch this up!

You know I’m a sucker for WoW holiday events! Woot!

The WAR event is starting today and lasting for a week.

The WAR is between the demomen and soldiers of TF2. They will both be getting their respective class updates during the next patch. The twist is that the WAR will determine which class gets an extra exclusive weapon. Kills between demomen and soliders are tracked on the WAR hub page for the week.  The class that gets the most kills during this time will be declared the winner.

Full details are posted here by Robin Walker of Valve.
