I played Team Fortress 2 for a long time on the X360 before I got it for PC and loved it so I think it's worth it.

No. If you've ever seen me post you know I'm almost exclusively a console gamer, but if you're gonna play Team Fortress 2 you HAVE to play on PC for the true experience. It gets active updates, new items, additional game modes, etc., and it runs infinitely more smoothly.

Team Fortress 2 on consoles is a mere shadow of the PC version.

You know how some people exaggerate on how one version of a game is better than the other? Well, that doesn't apply to this case. TF2 on PC takes a massive garbage dump on the console version. Constant updates and new content puts the console versions to shame. TOOOO SHAAAAAME! In fact, next month, a new update includes 20 new items to the game.

Definitely not. If you have access to the PC version there is absolutely no reason you should get the console version.

I play it every now and then after an hour or so of Half Life 2. I enjoy it, though I'd rather play it on a good PC, I don't have one.

No. I don't know why Valve didn't actually try to make it worth playing, but they didn''t. The updates are worthless, no class customizing, no mods, no DLC, nothing. It's also full of lag and glitches. Awful.

This, with the exception of the L4D games, which are decent enough on their own right (while still paling in comparision to the PC versions).

I only have the PC version instead of consoles, but I cannot possibly imagine how the console versions could play the same way as on the PC.

I think it would be fun to play to console versions of TF2 to remember what TF2 was like before all the updates.

But what if he doesn't have a pc that's able to run it ?

I say play the Xbox version, it's still a fun game.

yes its worth it.i play it all the time on 360. i know a lot of people who dont like TF2 coz they simply dont understand what to do or whats happening but once you find out, you'll see how simple and awesomeit is. i like 360 version more then pc one though it is kinda broken. lazy valve could have easily fixedit on consoleand made it much better, we dont want all the pc updates and weapons, all we wantedwas bug fixes etc. instead the last updatevalve released for it made the game even worse by introducing class limits which allows the host to limit or completely block whatever class they want...which led to many spy haters blocking spy or any other class they get owned by. funny thing is nobody even asked for this type of stupid "update"

I played for about a hundred hours before getting the PC version. The fact is that it does have all the problems the others have mentioned, but IMO the gameplay more than makes up for it. I'd play console TF2 over Halo or COD any day. Well, now that I've played the perfection that its PC TF2 I wouldn't, but you get the idea. If you don't mind having to leave a few games because of glitchers, it's fine. Especially if you can get together a bunch of friends for a game.

You should go ask Microsoft what they problem with FREE DLC was. IF you remember the whole drama valve had with trying to give the same content as PC users to the 360 and being shot down by microsoft then you would understand.

Well, at lest there's no Chargin Targe, Cloak and Dagger, Huntsman, etc. :lol:

Of course, the good unlocks more than make up for it, as well as the new maps, game modes etc.

What 'we' wanted? Last time I checked people took the free DLC since 2007 in droves, and it's a huge reason that the game still has such an active player base, fan community, and still sells. Oh wait you know best right?

Since your PC can't run it I say yes. It's still a great game. The PC version is 1000 times better but TF2 on the console is still great.(Hell it's better than most stuff on the consoles.) There still a community so it shouldn't be hard to find any games. Finding matches can be a pain though. Also no one play rank games. It's all about player matches.

Though I haven't played it on the PC. I'm just assuming. Also don't expect any updates.

.. Wait so you don't care about extra content that adds new and amazing things from maps to items for each class that can radically change how its played?

So he should miss out in the game just because it's not as good as it counterparts? TF2 on the consoles is still great.

... Great is a matter of comparison, and what I am trying to tell him is its awful compared to the pc version.. And if you have played the two there would be little point in changing the two.. But if he really wants to play it and there are no other multiplayers he is looking at.. Then there really isn't much of a choice.

My main problem with the console version of TF2 is the lack of maps. By far my favorite gametype is payload, but that came out in the Heavy update so the consoles don't even have Goldrush or Badwater Basin.

Whilst I understand your point, I have to disagree. If that 'inferior' system is mainly down to graphics etc. then why not? A great game is still a great game. I HAD a PC capable of HL2 at max, but it's broke now so I'm tempted to get the 360 version. I'll still get the same game (I've played both PC and 360 versions before), just on a different platfom.

I have it on ps3, I know what you mean about confusing. Playing as certain characters there seemed to be actions that didn't do anything.

I thought it was okay, but I'm pretty sure it's dead online, as many more online games have come out since then.
