IGN Goldrush Hands-On

[DigiQ8]

There was an incredible amount of info about Team Fortress 2 and the upcoming update earlier today, and you are about to read and see much more in the new IGN preview of the new map Goldrush and the new Medic unlockables.

Goldrush is both a new map and a new mode, and it's a fun approach to the age-old method of having to deliver a bomb into an enemy territory. In Goldrush, "Red" team plays defense while "Blu" team plays offense. The goal is to deliver a bomb, loaded onto a railroad cart, into the opposing base. The trick is that the railroad track that the bomb travels upon wends its way around the level. At least one member of Blu team has to stand next to the cart to move it; the more Blu members around the cart, the faster it goes. If the cart is left alone it stops moving, and if it's left unattended by Blu team for more than 30 seconds, it begins to move in reverse. So Blu has to basically escort the cart along the track while Red has to stop them. The bomb cart can heal and rearm Blu team members around it, but it's still going to be tough.

I really like the sound of the Goldrush map. It's a very invetive way of working with what we already have with TF2. Great work, Valve
