New Team Fortress 2 Content Scheduled for Mid-April

[Alfalfa]

"Looks like the massive team fortress 2 update is slated to arrive on April 20th, Valve has informed Shacknews. Including the new Goldrush map, unlockable weapons, and Meet the Scout video and other tweaks for the game.

"Goldrush will mark the first map in a new game mode called "Payload," which will task the Blue team with herding a mine cart full of explosives toward the Red base. The more players near the cart, the faster it will move, the Red team winning if it prevents Blue from reaching its goal. The map will also be the first to utilize the cinematic physics technology from Half-Life 2: Episode Two."

Folks, mark your calendars."

GN had the opportunity to to ask Robin Walker some questions about what to expect in Team Fortress 2's future. In this interview Walker reveals new medigun and how to unlock this weapon. I'm just going to point out the most important highlights in this interview.
The unlockable medigun will switches out the 10 second invulnerability effect for 10 seconds of 100% chance of critical hits.
You unlock the first Medic unlockable when you complete 12 of the 36 Medic achievements, the second at 24, and the third at 36.
Goldrush is coming along with the Medic achievements and unlockable weaponry.
The cart in Goldrush moves faster the more Blu players are near it, and contains a handy dispenser to heal and resupply them as they escort it. The Red team wins if they can keep the cart from reaching their base.
Goldrush is the first map to use the cinematic physics technology from Half-Life 2: Episode 2 in a multiplayer environment

In this month issue, PCGamer pinned down Robin Walker to talk about the upcoming Team Fortress 2 massive update which includes; new modes, tweaks and 36 new achievements. Mr.Walker had a few examples for the upcoming Medic achievements such as:
Placebo Effect: kill five enemies in a single life while having your uber-charge ready, but undeployed.
Preventive Medicine: block the enemy from capturing a control point with an uber-charged teammate.
Triage: deploy an uber-charge on a teammate less than a second before they're hit by a critical explosive.
Autopsy Report: provide an enemy with a freeze-cam shot of you taunting above their ragdoll.

On the new tweaks, Valve got a few tweaks for the Pyro in mind, which requires a significant new addition to the Pyro. And for the Medic they try to give him tools that "increase the difference between a highly skilled Medic and a beginner", and the first step towards that is the unlockable weaponry (such as the Overhealer, an upgrade that permanently doubles a target's health, but disables uber-charging)
