Thanks to our friends over at Shacknews we can let all TF2 fans know that Goldrush, the new Medic achievements, unlocks and Meet the Scout will all be available on your Steam clients some time in the week of April 20th.

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.

Yay

Will the SpA servers play ONLY the new maps the first week or two of release, or will the new maps just be implemented into the current map rotation ?

It will be the same with the release of badlands. Servers 1 & 2 will get the map in its rotation, and server 3 will be goldrush 24/7 for about a week.

Couldn't all of the red team just be demo and spam stickeys on the cart?

Sounds awesome! Can't wait to see those physics in action, I hope you can wipe out the whole team with it, then my new fav weapon will be Collapsing Building!
