TF2 Goldrush map this month News • News • PC • Eurogamer.net

Valve balancing it now.

Valve has confirmed that new Team Fortress 2 map Goldrush will be available "within the month".

Word emerged on the Steam website. Apparently the fresh game mode will be a mine-cart escort through a series of time-limited checkpoints.

The more of the protecting BLU team that are around the cart the faster it travels. But if any of the attacking RED team are in the vicinity its progress is halted. Cue blood and guts and tactics.

Valve is also working on a Badlands map for Team Fortress 2, as well as new weapons for those earning lots of achievements.

While PC users may get their hands on the content first, Valve plans to make it all available on both PS3 and Xbox 360 once it has enough to bundle together into a package.

Also worth noting it will be free, as value for money is among Valve's top priorities.

I don't really understand why they need to wait to make a bundle, rather than just putting the single map on XBL or PSN. Then again, I don't have either, so I don't really care

"within the month"

Given Valve's rather flexible approach to release dates, I'll believe this when I see it. The level of support Valve are giving TF2 is great though.

Pardon me for correcting, but if BLU has to escort the minecart, and RED has to stop them, wouldn't that mean that RED is defending and BLU is attacking, not the other way around?

It'd be nice to have another CTF map, 2Fort is getting really boring.

I really can't understand why there is only one CTF map and the rest all revolve around base capturing. I'll be disappointed if they don't add a CTF map.

BLU would be defending the cart (to make it move) and RED would be attacking the cart (to stop it). I guess it depends how you look at it really.

The only good thing about free dlc is: you know you always find people to play online with. I bought Undertow on xbla but couldnt find any people. Then it becomes free and the online lobbies suddenly became full.

I'd say he knows a little bit more about it than you, because he invented it!

"There are 2 CTF maps. 2fort & Well (CTF). "

Really? I've been playing non-stop for the past couple of months or so, playing regularly across all the maps (not just sticking to 2Fort like most people seem to do), and not once have I come across the CTF version of Well.

edit: There is no CTF variant of Well, at least not on the 360 version. I tried to host and set a game up, but there were no options for a CTF game at all on that map.
