New Medigun Revealed in IGN Interview
Zips @ 4:56 pm pdt on 3/25/08 - team fortress
Robin Walker has spilled some rather large beans to IGN in a recent and very interesting interview about future TF2 updates. As a single quote for this wouldn't do the information any justice, here's a bulleted list of the most important highlights.
  • New medigun will replace the 10 seconds of invulnerability with 10 seconds of 100% chance for critical hits for the medic's healing target.
  • The new medigun will be the first new weapon but the other classes are already being worked on and will see some rather quick releases.
  • First gun unlock for the Medic comes after you've earned 12 of the 36 new achievements for the Medic, the second comes at 24 out of 36, and the third weapon comes when you've unlocked all 36 achievements.
  • Goldrush will be released alongside the new medic achievements (no date given).
  • Goldrush is the first map that is part of the new "Payload" game type.
  • Goldrush will incorporate cinematic physics (as seen in Episode 2).
  • Consoles might get a map pack containing Goldrush and the other maps released so far for the PC version of TF2.
I've covered the most important parts, but you can still read the full interview at IGN.
