Australium weapons, I wonder if that just means they're gold plated or if they create gold statues like the Wrench/Saxxy.

It says you can add the effect to any weapon. I suppose you could put it on a Strange.

I'm guessing I'm the only one here whose first thought was "Hooray, American-urban art assets to map with at last!" :P

Looks pretty sweet.

Ditto. And new weapons that are competitively viable, not just gimmicks.

The new stats screen is pretty cool. Not to mention the Rocket Specialist trait is awesome; it's a little more expensive, but it replaces the 'Projectile Speed' upgrade and if you can land a hit with it fully upgraded expect everything to die, especially with a crocket.

The new maps and the changes to some players made for a tough challenge! Was excited to play with Soltan, and bummed when the servers had to be reset, because I want to see how the new medic tactics work. Medic hadn't had much of a role in most mvm games I played, except on the Engi maps where a kritz medic was very useful, so its nice to see something to try to get medic used a bit more. The map prang and I played last night was very dps intensive and full of cash opportunities. We didn't come close to getting all the money on each wave, but I had no problem getting all the upgrades I needed for the engi.

There are some new robots (the crit demo spam bot sucks) and engis showed up as support in the map. The tank takes an interesting route that actually goes underground where you cant get to it for a while before it comes up behind the final point.

All in all, a fun new challenge to the maps. Can't wait for my cool new weapon/character effects!

According to community research, the Australlium weapons do in fact leave gold statues for ragdolls. Each class gets at least two weapons. Of the weapons, they are either stock or of the achievement unlockables, with exceptions to the Black Box and Tomislav.

Scout: Scattergun; FaN
Soldier: Rocket Launcher; Black Box
Pyro: Flamethrower; Axetinguisher
Demo: Grenade Launcher; Sticky Launcher; Eyelander
Heavy: Minigun; Tomislav
Engineer: Frontier Justice; Wrench (which begs the question how different is it from the Golden Wrench)
Medic: Blutsauger; Medigun
Sniper; Sniper Rifle; SMG
Spy: Ambassador (the REAL Golden Gun); Knife

And the best one, being both an all-class and breaking it's previous limitation of not being used on Engineer and Spy:
