[TF2] New map, new game mode

[Ronin Storm]

According to a Valve release announcement last night and Eurogamer's article today, Team Fortress 2 has been extended with a new map and a new game mode.

The new map is Goldrush.

The new map is called Gold Rush that should "evoke feelings of both Dustbowl, in terms of layout and team goals, and Hunted, as it has a central objective that forces the battlefield to move through the map dynamically".

The new game mode is Payload.

[...]the new Payload game-type, where the blue team tries to push a bomb along some railroad tracks through a trio of red bases in order to win.

The bomb truck will move steadily when people are next to it, increasing its speed as more people congregate around it, but if left to its own devices for 30 seconds it will start to trundle backwards.

I'm updating the servers and map rotations at the moment so they should be up and running if you fancy checking this out a bit later on.

Valve have their own site on the matter, which includes details of the new Medic achievements too.
