i've had about enough of 'soon' with this game. i havent played tf2 in a month even though i love it. valve can blow me.

nikkomorocco

YAY!! Finally. I've got a raging clue just from the idea.

Annex1

@Puck: And for those of you who ENJOYED TFC, this further reinforces how good the game is.

I'm really tired of hearing about how there's no support for Orange Box PS3, after the reviews structured to chase away potential buyers. The Kotaku review wasn't too kind with the HL2 section in particular (nor were others), and continually mentions the superiority of the 360 version. That's all fine by me, as I own the Orange Box anyway and have been enjoying it. The problem I have is that you (I mean the entire game journo community) don't get to chase everyone away from buying a game, then holler for more support when not many people bought the game! That includes worry or wonder why the platform that sold lots more is getting extra content before the other, or at all.

Even worse, the problems that PS3 Orange Box is supposed to have don't exist in the copy that I own, at least not at the level reported. Biggest gripe was screen tearing and slowdown during some sections of HL2, which I did see during my play. Didn't seem worse than the screen tearing and slowdown during some of COD4's single player campaign, yet it was given much greater emphasis. Why? Don't know, but the damage was done and the message clear: stay away from the PS3 version.

Why releasing a game in a console like the PS3 if they don´t intend to back it up or support it, they should´ve stayed in 360...Shame on you, EA...

Daisuash

It's up to EA to develop those download contents because in-house Valve will not do it.

mcool93

TF2 is extra strength terrible, even worse than TFC (yes, it's possible).

Stay away, gamers, stay away!

Puck

Hmm may have to pick it up again. I'd rather buy it for the PS3 but if they don't get the update, 360 it will be.

I remember watching the "meet the" videos and falling in love with the game. Only game I wanted last year. But the online problems with TF2 ended up disappointing me.

Kanik

Ohh I am very excited about this. TF2 is perhaps my favorite multiplayer shooter on the 360.

M.A.S.

maaaaaaan >.< i need to uber 7 more steam "friends" b/c i dont have any :(... but after that i get my UBERSAW! ahhh but atlast it is not meant to be.

zgnoud

This better be an 'Update' rather than DLC, if you get my meaning, im not gonna shell out for what is essentially an update (what am i on about of corse i will, but thats not the point!)

lost_in_hollywood

@TuxBobble: Like I said, why does EA hate you guys so much? It's insane. :\

Dave Silva

Honestly, as someone with both systems, it makes sense tht the system you pay yearly for online will get more online freebies than the other.

Terance!

@Dave Silva: I don't want DLC. I don't even care if EA likes the 360 better. But I hold them responsible for the disaster that was this game.

TuxBobble

wow for a PS3 year it sure is looking to be more and more a 360 year...yet again...we don't even wanna go there with the HAZE exclusive. you can keep it. who know maybe EA will try again and port the DLC and hopefully get it right this time around.

JorgieX

I like Valve but at the same time I kinda hate them for not supporting the ps3..

yeah it makes sense since the ps3 version got no achievements(right?) but they don't need to be called achievements, and if Valve releases the new map/medic guns for the 360 a lot of ps3 ppl will be mad at them once again for hating the ps3..

Shad0X

This is a PC game. Play it on the PC. You don't even need a high-end card.

artofwar420

@HELLSRIDER:

Its 24 players and they arent hosting the games. You could have lag free 24 player games on the 360 if it used dedicated servers. Instead it has a player hosting all the other players.

CCCombobreaker

@HELLSRIDER: There are no skins for characters, and max players is 24, it was 32 players back in the beta though. If the console versions are the same as the full day-one version of TF2 on PC, the differences are the medic achievements, the 3 medic unlockable weapons, the Badlands map and the Gold Rush map, which is also a new gametype. There are also patches being released all the time, fixing any little problems with the game, don't think the consoles get those fixes either.

vantesaur

@Falcon:

yeah.. it'll be a shame if it doesn't, because frankly, even though the maps are great, since you don't have the user created/edited maps, etc, there's a whole lot less variety... and, it's finally starting to get stale (though i do love the game). If nothing comes up after a while, i might check into seeing if it'll run okay on my macbook with bootcamp :/

stealthpengu

@stealthpengu: I hope the PS3 gets the content eventually. The payload game type is brilliant. 12 vs. 12 on Gold Rush is a crazy amount of fun.

Falcon

@Enimor: The medic weapons are great now that the crazy rush to do medic achievements has died down. They don't change the game in a bad way at all. The Kritzkrieg (crit uber) just adds another dimension to the game, yet still has a down side since the person you're ubering isn't invulnerable.

Falcon

this is kinda sad imo... because i've heard from a few friends who own 360s that not many people play tf2 on the system... ps3 seems to always have quite a few servers up though :\ like, i seriously wonder which version has a better installed base? i guess it's ok though, because for the first time, i'm starting to get really tired of tf2, and i've logged in around 100 hours :\

stealthpengu

MAKE.MORE.CHARACTER.INTROS.

I swear I'd pay for a pixar made movie on team fortress.

Kiden4911

After what I saw those new Medic weapons do to the PC version, I don't want them fucking with my classic 360 TF2. However, I heartily welcome any new maps they want to release.

Enimor

@bigd7387: Ah, nevermind. You're just another fanboy. Cry on.

Ruglia

@bigd7387: So you're happy when people don't get what they pay for? Nice.

I like my PS3 so far. Never been too much of an online gamer, so this doesn't really affect me.

Ruglia

@Kanik: It works perfectly for me, but usually I play with the same group of people. The trick is just to find a host that the game cooperates with well. I haven't had a laggy game in a long time.

LowNemesis

@gblock: I'm not apologizing for them. Valve had no plans to make a PS3 version. However, EA said they would port it, so Valve let them. (More revenue and more customers are never a bad thing.)

I'm more interested to see if Valve will let EA do any PS3 ports in the future with TOB's reception on the PS3.

Falcon

@gblock: What.. they're doing a good thing... OH, you bought the PS3 version? Ah-chaaaa.... sorry man :(

okenny :)

Bite me, valve. Last time you get my money.

(And before someone does, stop effing apologising for Valve. It's their deal, they knew what EA was, they chose this path. They did this. Don't blame the scorpion for stinging you, it's a scorpion, its in its nature to do so.)

gblock

The 360 TF2 would really need dedicated servers to support any more players.

Falcon

I become happier every day when PS Fanboys get left out of extra content. It's so funny to rag on the 360 for the RROD and blame anyone and everyone, like EA, for not taking care of the PS3 but Sony should be the one the Fanboys are mad at. If Sony would have made a developer friendly system off of the X86 programming they could be enoying what they will not get. Again, Valve said they will not even touch the PS3.

bigd7387

@CCCombobreaker: Yeah I kind of hate that too, the PC version of TF2 is the best because of all the things like maps, weapons, skins for the characters and that in the PC version you can host 32 players. Well I saw that in a video.

HELLSRIDER

TF2 on PC is the way to go!

DoubleV

@Drake Lake: Thats right it seems like everyone is forgeting about that, I hope its free. I remember Valve saying that it depends of Microsoft decision to know if the 360 maps are going to be free.

HELLSRIDER

@HELLSRIDER:

Well yes, but not because they fixed anything. Its because they made it so it won't allow players to host more than the game thinks they can handle. However it's totally flawed because if back out and go back in a bunch of times really fast itll let you host as many players as you want. Which can be a good thing since I could host 16 players without lag(i know because friends were playing each time) but after the patch it would only let me do 8 and 10. Oh yeah and they also allowed games of 10 and 14 players to be hosted as well in that patch.

CCCombobreaker

@Kanik: Latelly there has not been so much lag in TF2 for the 360, well it's at least less than when it came out.

HELLSRIDER

I would have liked this a few months ago when I was actually playing tf2 on the 360. I'm gonna be putting together my new PC in a couple weeks and Tf2 will be the first game I install.

CCCombobreaker

@Diesel_Power: LOL :) Is that better then the Awards bios? Does it like let you overclock only if you have Intel-NVidia parts versus ATI-AMD parts? :3

okenny :)

Aye! Valve are PC developers first! Cry more PS3 fanbois.

Diesel_Power

dx 8 512 mb ram and 1.7gh/z processer

@Spartan1308: Valve reaffirmed the other day about some other game: "We are not PS3 devs."

slomo788

@okenny :): Lol I know I played GTA4 for too long...

@TheCleaningGuy: Oh I didn't know the 360's TF2 also had problems.

At this point I really don't care, all I want is Portal as a downloadable game so I can play it over and over, like Super Mario World.

slomo788

@Sparx: @Grey Gecko: EA did the PS3 port of the Orange Box.
Fuck Valve and EA. The one patch they issued for TF2 just made the game less stable. This annoys the hell out of me. I waited an extra month for the PS3 version, I payed my $60, and I get screwed over.
Well on the bright side, at least the TF2 lag wan't as bad as the 360 version's.

TheCleaningGuy

@Sparx: EA published The Orange Box for all systems, but they actually made the PS3 version. Valve made the PC and 360 versions so they would be responsible for making the DLC. I'm guessing since they didn't want to develop the retail game itself, they aren't wanting to make the DLC either. This means that we are talking about EA.

Spartan1308

@slomo788: LOL! Wow slomo, you've become quite the potty mouth ;)

...

I'm hoping to see better support from Valve on this game... if they can't do better to make sure things work at launch then it's a sad detail. It would also be nice if they can add that last two-more players to the now 16-player game to insure a full roster of classes are possible over live; it's one big thing I think they failed on beside the armada of bugs they invaded the console debut with. I wish them luck.

okenny :)

My Steam account decided yesterday that I no longer exist, so that's been an inconvenience.
Any ideas on how to fix that so I can try Payload?

ggodo

@Kanik: I know right. As soon as I was done with HL2 and Portal I sold it. TF2 is just unplayable.

Fuck you Valve and EA... *chuckles*

slomo788

If it's taken this long, there's only one reason for that. I have to ask...

How much is this going to cost?

Drake Lake

Do people still play this on the consoles? I sold my copy on the 360 because the lag and disconnect issues were ridiculous.

Kanik

Cry some more! hahaha Cry some more!! About time they bring us some 360 love. Now to tell my buds who traded this in for frontlines. BONK!

Gunloc

@Sparx:

But thats not who we're talking about so it doesn't really matter

Sparx

@Dave Silva:

Because EA is lazy and doing anythign for the PS3 would require actual work?

Sparx

@Dave Silva: EA? Dont ya mean Valve?

Grey Gecko

Jesus, why do PS3 owners get so much HATE from EA? Why is it so difficult to give them DLC?

Dave Silva

oh joy! :D

Grey Gecko

I will be a sad panda if I don't get DLC on my PS3 Team Fortress.
