1Up has an article on the upcoming TF2 map and medigasm, including a screenshot of the new medic loadout screen (where you choose your medic’s gear before playing) and a nice shot of the totally boss ubersaw.
It’s gonna be pretty exciting when these things start appearing in-game. The first guy toting around an ubersaw is gonna be a celebrity. I know I’d drop the match I was playing to go have a look-see at the new weapon.

It’s gonna be a while until that happens, the achievements are incredibly hard. It might take more than an hour!

If I saw that right on the loadout screen, there’s going to be LEVELS on the weapons? Aw hell naw.

Originally, I was excited for the new Medic weapons because it would mean there would be enough medics running around and I could take a break from the class (I love it, but sometimes I just want to pyro).
But holy God the ubersaw is awesome. I might have to start working for it as soon as it’s added.

Why must you whet my appetite so temptingly?

Just noticed something: in that last pic under the Ubersaw it says “Add 20% Uber charge on hit” and “30% slower”
So its changed from 25% uber and 20% slower then? Or did I miss something?

I thought that at first too, Punjabi, but on closer inspection I think it does still say “20% slower”, the JPEG artefacting just fucks up the text at such low-res, high-compression.

That Ubersaw looks like something out of my worst Warhammer-related nightmares

Yeah I think you’re right Pentadact.

My work blocks that site. Any other links to the pix?

Imagine all the private grind servers with friends to get these acheivments.

Release is due today or tomorrow.
At least according to this: http://www.gamesradar.com/pc/team-fortress-2/preview/see-goldrush/a-2008041616571763045/g-2006071917154725056

You guys do notice it said there would be new classes in the article too?
>Walker hints that, later down the line, Valve will introduce entirely new character classes as well as maps that differ dramatically from Goldrush.

SO not looking forward to the number of grind servers secretly going up after this…
Nice Spiderman reference in the tags, by the way ;) I used to say that a lot after the first movie came out.

Will this be coming to Xbox 360? I have been desperately trying to get confirmation, but no one has mentioned it…

About the maps, how about some that are other typically cheesy 60’s spy thriller locales? Industrial/Wood desert gets a bit bland after a bit.

Yea. A forest would be nice. Or maybe some snow covered land.

Well the achievements sound so damn impossible. Now I don’t actually own TF2. But intend to. It’s as though valve wants people to get together and have a fake game to get these. Also, by the time I get the game no one will be bothered to stand there for me to get the hard achievements D:
