*endless screaming*
I just checked out the official blog (http://www.teamfortress.com/twocities/rottenburg/). We've got new content incoming for Mann vs. Machine, plus a community map being inducted into the Hall of Official TF2 Maps and a new animated short! YAY NEW ANIMATED SHORT!

This update looks to be very Medic-centered, which is nice as you tend to see fewer Medics in MvM. His two main upgrades, demonstrated in the animated short, are a Ghostbusters-esque device called the Reanimator which will apparently let a Medic bring a player back from the dead without waiting for spawn or paying out, and a shield which deflects robot attacks. He also gets Mad Milk syringes for his syringe gun. This'll be great, since, as earlier mentioned, Medics in MvM are rare. On the other hand, PREPARE FOR THE MEDIC SPAM!
In terms of new maps, it looks like MvM will be getting two: Mannhattan (an East Coast city themed map) and Rottenburg (previewed in the above short, supposedly the Medic's hometown. Yay more TF2 world-building!). The community map, Snakewater, is going to be a regular CP map, not of the MvM variety.
There's also a Solder MvM upgrade and a whole slew of achievements being released. YAY TF2!
IN OTHER NEWS, Valve has apparently contacted James McVinnie, who's working on that amazing End of the Line short, asking him to design an official TF2 update to coincide with the release of the final product. I AM SO EXCITED FOR ALL OF THESE THINGS.
