The numbers are in and the soldiers have it. In a hard fought clash over which class would receive the special item in Team Fortress 2s latest update the soldiers inched in over the demoman for the win.

Final counts, as posted by 1UP, show that the fight ended with soldiers on top at 6.4 million kills to the demoman class' 6.3 million. As promised they received the final piece of new equipment for their class.

As it turns out the item goes by the moniker of Gunboats. They are steel-toed boots that reduce damage from rocket jumps for the soldier. The update, which is currently live, also included a slew of weapons for both the aforementioned classes and two new maps.

In addition to the content is celebrating it's release with a free weekend and half-off the price of the game on Steam. Stop back in for more information as we receive it.
