To celebrate the Soldier and Demoman class updates arriving today, Valve has magnanimously declared a Team Fortress 2 free-for-all for the entire weekend.

This is your chance to show your friends that Counter-Strike is rubbish, and Team Fortress 2 is awesome. And remember – just because everybody says the Pyro is a noob class doesn’t mean the Pyro isn’t (obviously) the best class anyway. 

Players can preload the entire game through Steam, or bandwidth-challenged sadsacks can simply wait until their friends download it first and copy the relevant game folders from them instead.
