You can read the whole interview here
http://pc.ign.com/articles/861/861991p1.html

Or just keep reading this for the important stuff. Stop reading now if you don't want spoilers! :P

• We're almost done. The Medic is still planned as the first update, but we'll be pushing into the other classes pretty quickly. Much of the time we've been taking has been on the backend work, so we won't have to do that work again.
  
• the unlockable medigun we're play testing right now switches out the 10 second invulnerability effect for 10 seconds of 100% chance of critical hits.(How will this work in CAL? Probably a svar for turning off the unlockable weapons, which will be used.)
• So you unlock the first Medic unlockable when you complete 12 of the 36 Medic achievements, the second at 24, and the third at 36. (Thought there was only gonna be 2 upgrades!)
• Goldrush is looking like it'll come out along with the Medic achievements and unlockable weaponry.
• The cart moves faster the more Blu players are near it, and contains a handy dispenser to heal and resupply them as they escort it.
• Goldrush is also the first map where we've used the cinematic physics technology from Half-Life 2: Episode 2. (The bridge that falls apart in ep2. Wonder how it's used in this map)

And the first comment makes me smile:

First it was February, then it was March, now it is mid April.  I will believe it when I see it.  I also can't wait to see what upgrades they have for the Heavy when they get that far.  I want the ability to carry a sentry like was posted in the other thread.
