So when is goldmine/new achievements & medigun coming out?

[Salad Snake]

They annouced it about a month ago right?

Not complaining or anything, since it seems like it's gonna be one of, if not the, biggest update since launch, but has there been any news on a release date for it?

[Thermal755]

Soon...like you can almost touch it but then again it's still a little out of reach soon.

[Salad Snake]

That's not a very good kind of soon, not like the "Your standing around one day and it's there" kind of soon or the "you don't even worry about it because it's any day now" soon.

At least we have a soon to look forward to at all.

I'm not so stoked about the medigun, but can't wait for goldmine.

I thought they took out the new medigun? Or was that something else?

Anyway, it should come out soon :p

I thought they took out the permanent uber-boost....

Hmm perhaps

I want spy achievements though!

True.

But I can't wait for unlockable weapons! I like anything that allows for more choice with your playing style.

As long as they can keep balance. I get the feeling that if anything valve would be worried enough about this that they would skew the unlockables toward the weak side.

Yea the Overhealer (or at least thats what i think it was called) apparently got cut because it broke game balance or something.

Looking forward to Goldmine tho and i can't wait to see how Valve is going to handle the new achievements/unlocks.

Makes sense. :nod:

[BobTheJob]

Isn't it gold rush, not goldmine?

[Salad Snake]

So no more weapon unlocks?

[Flamesfan_21]

No im pretty sure they are still working on unlocks, its just the overhealer in particular that didn't work out right.

I bloody well hope so anyway!
