here, there are some more exciting things coming for TF2.
The medic will be getting two new weapons accessed via a new Loadout menu. One weapon will be the Overhealer which will be capable of doubling a friendly target's health and will be unlocked by acheiving half of the new medic achievements. The second weapon will be another healing weapon but more information is not available.
There will be a new map called Goldrush and will feature a new escort gameplay mode where one team must escort a mining cart across the map. The more blue players surrounding the cart, the faster it goes, but any nearby red players will cause the cart to stop.
Shacknews reports that the new gameplay mode and medic abilities will be available some time within the next month, with Badlands and Goldrush following shortly after.
Valve has not said whether these features will be available on console versions of TF2.
