Valve Announce Gold Rush For TF2

Some breaking news before RPS heads bedwards: There's a new Team Fortress 2 map available. And more, as part of the free Gold Rush update.

Valve explain,

"The Gold Rush Update introduces the new Gold Rush map and Payload gameplay style, the first set of unlockable weapons, and a new set of achievements for the Medic."

If you don't own it and that's not enough to tempt you, perhaps a free weekend might do that. Starting Friday at noon PDT, TF2 will be free to everyone until Sunday. You can begin pre-loading the files now, with all the details you'll need here.

More Gold Rush in the morning. But first some shots fresh from The Night Of A Thousand Medics.

Firstly, some grabs of Gold Rush in action.

Secondly, some of the fancy weapon-select screen. Here's the medic with (er) no stuff. Early days yet, guys.

And here's the full select screen, with everyone trying to ignore the Medic lording over them.
