Welcome, Herr Doktor. No doubt you have at least sampled the waters of the new TF2 update, resplendent in it's new content. However, you are not concerned over the new Gold Rush map, or the new Payload gametype. No, you are most likely aiming to obtain your überweapons: the Blütsauger, Kritzkrieg, and Übersaw. Unfortunately, you have to complete the many new medic achievements, ranging from the incredibly hard to the very simple. Thankfully for you, Herr Doktor, we have compiled a guide to acquiring those achievements in the easiest way possible. We have already given you the first, second, third and fourth, so here is the fifth. Keep this in mind the next time we proclaim our love for you.

World of Warcraft's Arena Tournament launched on March 31, 2008, letting players immediately create level 70 characters and equip them with high level skills and epic armor. Competitors from around the world battle for up to $200,000 in cash prizes. At the same time, the Arena Tournament underscores Blizzard's intentions of using WoW's PvP gameplay as a type of eSport. WoW rose to become the most popular MMO in the world primarily because of its PvE content, and using its PvP for eSports marked a sharp turn in the game's focus. We catch up with WoW's Lead Designer, Tom Chilton, Paul Della Bitta (Senior Manager, Global Community and eSports) and Joong Kim (eSports Manager) to get the inside story about balancing PvP and PvE gameplay and what players can expect to from the future of Azeroth.

Update after update after update, it seems. Team Fortress 2, hot on the heels of the last patch, has received yet another patch. This one fixes some major issues, such as problems with two achievements, problems with the Kritzkrieg not behaving properly, and problems with players being unable to use the new medic items. Hopefully this has fixed most of the issues with the new patch, but after recent history, it's almost guaranteed there will be more issues.

Enemy Territory: Quake Wars is one of those multiplayer shooters that you really have to play to understand the charm. At first glance, it's a lot like Battlefield 2 (or 2142), but when you start to reach the delicious crunchy center, you realize that it's really a game that can be compared to no other. It's also quite good.

The lovely developers at Splash Damage have revealed their planned improvements for the 1.5 patch, which is currently being funded out of their own pocket. They've added some much needed UI and customization improvements, as well as cleaning up the AI functionality and removing several exploits and bugs. Check out the full changelog at the community site.

It seems that there were more problems with the new TF2 update than we thought. Besides having server-crashing commands and a command to immediately unlock all the achievements, there have apparently been a number of client crash issues and infinite ÜberCharge exploits. No longer! They have no been patched. Here's hoping that more exploits haven't been opened or are lurking around the corner.

On a related note, if you haven't, check out the new Gold Rush/Medic update for TF2. It's amazingly well put together, and shows the sort of dedication Valve has to making and updating great games. If only all developers were this generous to their customers.

In this the year of the Beijing Olympics, Valve is offering gamers a chance to go for the gold. Starting Friday, May 2 and going Sunday the 4th, everyone can play Team Fortress 2 for free! Free is good no matter how you slice, but they're tossing in three brand new features to boot!

Gold Rush is a brand spanking new map complete with a new mode called "Payload." Teams are split on offense (Blu) and defense (Red) just like in Dustbowl, but the object of the Blu team is to literally push a payload full of bombs from one capture point to the next until all three of Red's bases are blown to smithereens.

Over the next year Valve will be rolling out the biggest change to the game. Starting with the Medic class players will be able to earn three unique items by first earning some or all of the new achievements (for Medics there are 36 in all). These items will give players new choices as to how they play the class as well as offering new benefits for the team they're playing on. The other eight classes will be rolled out soon after the initial release.

Mark Rein is a man you either love... or love to hate. Never one to mince words, the vice president of Epic Games recently chatted it up with the folks at CVG about Unreal Tournament III for the Xbox 360, Unreal Engine 4, and the future of PC gaming. We'd mention that what he had to say will shock you, but come on... we're talking about Mark Rein here. Nothing he says should shock anyone by now. Personally, we here at Big Download love him for that.

Since we are a PC gaming site we won't much mention the 360 port, but if you're an Xbox player jonesing for unreal fragging -- you'll want to check out the interview for some interesting nuggets o' knowledge. Besides... the good stuff is in his Nostradamus like prediction of PC gaming's future.

If you are a fan of big muscles, large guns, and incredibly manly men, now is your time to shine. Unreal Tournament 3 has just dropped in price on Steam, going from $49.99 to $29.95. And it looks permanent. If your bloodlust for the incredible amounts of testosterone present in Gears of War 2 can't be restrained until it is released, UT3 isn't a bad alternative. And it's only 30 bucks!
