The first unlock for the Soldier was revealed today on the latest Team Fortress 2 war update! Behold the "Direct Hit" rocket launcher.
A new Soldier based comic has gone up and Valve introduced all new TF2 items to the Valve Store. Pimp out your iPhone with a custom skin or pick up a new War based t-shirt, all of that and more can be found right here. The current war totals have the Soldier just edging out the Demoman, 5.1M kills to 4.9M kills.
A free weekend for Team Fortress 2 begins this Thursday, so start those pre-loads!

Nobody can deny that, measured solely by their ability to blow people into chunky clouds of tomato soup, rockets are an incredible force for good in the world. But with their wide blast radius, they are not a particularly terrific weapon for showing off your sharpshooting skills.
Until now. A high precision version of the standard-issue rocket launcher, the Direct Hit has been engineered from the ground up for Soldiers who have mastered the art of shooting at their targets instead of vaguely near them. Those of you looking to deal splash damage, stop reading now: the Direct Hit has a 70% smaller blast radius than a traditional rocket launcher. But the rockets that come out of this thing move fast and hit hard: 80% faster and with 25% more destructive force. Best of all, for you real sharpshooters, the Direct Hit guarantees mini-crits on airborne targets.

M, where you can direct where it hits as its flying.
