Thoughts on the Gold Rush update?

[Shagz]

You guys had a chance to try out the new Goldrush map? Any progress towards unlocking any of the new weapons?

I played for a couple hours last night, absolutely loved Goldrush. It's a great game type and the map is awesome. There's something in there for every class: decks for snipers, cubby holes for sentry guns, alternate routes for Spies and Pyros.

I think I pulled off 4 of the new achievements, I need 9 more to unlock my first weapon.

I really like Gold Rush. So far it seems well balanced, but it is kinda hard to tell with the disproportionate number of medics. I have 7 of the new medic achievements, but it will be awhile before I get too many more. Overall I think it's a great update. The new made is awesome and really adds some life to the game and I think the further updates with the new achievements for the other classes will really help too.

To me, and it may be to the fact that I was playing against very well balanced teams, but I felt the capature points are really tough to get to. I only once got to B and played a lot of rounds where the cart would get right to the front of A, but a couple of lvl 3 sentries and a good sniper (me of course) and even medic assisted players couldn't reach the cap.
