and once again the 360 version is left out in the cold.

its not a class add on...but has quite a lot of changes.

  • The Engineer's teleporters can now be upgraded to level three. It will recharge faster the higher level it is
  • The Engineer's dispensers can now be upgraded to level three. It will give out metal and heal faster as it is upgraded
  • Spies will be able to recharge their cloaking ability by picking up ammo off of the ground or from health cabinets
  • Some changes to the second part of the first stage of Goldrush to give the attackers more of an advantage
  • Any weapons that fire bullets (shotguns, sniper's machine gun, heavy's minigun, etc.) can now break apart the Demoman's stickybombs
  • The icon on the HUD for a person calling for Medic will now give more information to the medic (if the target is low on health, on fire, etc.)
  • Added an achievement tracker that will allow people to choose specific achievements that they are trying to get
  • There is now a custom icon for death messages when the player was killed from a critical hit
  • Added a new particle effect for when a player enters the water
  • Added smoke to the feet of a rocket jumping soldier
  • Players will now have some particles swirling around them so other players can see when they are overhealed

Well as for the 360 not getting any updates, I think they said something about the 360 version getting the updates after all the class updates are released. Which by the time that happens no one will probably even care or be playing the game on 360. Aggrivates me because I'm planning on buying the orange box for my 360 because I only have my laptop now which cant run orange box very well.

I wish I could play TF2 again, but for some reason everytime I try to join a game I get en error message and signed out of PSN... Every other game no problems, just TF2. Annoying!

Omg my SPY is back to stabbing away at soft vulnerable backs, lol. I was waiting for the spy class to get some sort of update, it was severely underpowered. Glad to see the engineer getting a level 3 teleporter and dispenser too! Looks like my Holidays are settled then. Go PC Gaming!

The level 3 dispensers and teleports are insane. Lvl. 3 dispensers heal faster than Medics and the lvl. 3 teleport recharges in about a second or two.

It's like, ****ing lvl. 3 teletele so ****ing fast **** god damn it's like go teleport then oh **** it's ready again ****ing teleport again god damn that's fast

the dispenser buff is retarded

gameplay already centers way too much much on engies' sentries, no need to make them more powerful

Maybe on 360 where nobody plays it. Otherwise, on the PC, TF2 is fast paced and a really good time.

Actually, the 360 is not being left out in the cold. (Well for now it is I guess)

From http://teamfortress.com/:

"We are actively working on a massive XBox 360 update, which will include pretty much everything we've shipped on the PC in the last year. We'll provide you with a rough date when we have one."

Oh, and the update is awsome :D Love the new teleporters, really speeds up the gameplay. Also the spy being able to pick up weapons to recharge his clock makes him much faster paced. (No more waiting around for clock)

'Cause, you know, waiting an entire year to release what PC gamers have had for a long time now is definitely not "left out in the cold". I'm not sure why they care enough either. People play TF2 on 360?

Besides Call of Duty 4, Team Fortress 2 in The Orange Box is my most played game on my 360. Haven't been on in awhile though, so I can't remember how much play time I've put into it, I think about 12 days, and there's still a pretty active community still playing it everyday.

Why did they nerf the Demoman! WHY!!

The only class that needed a nerf is the Pyro.

Agreed, the PC may have a much larger community, but still have community life to it. I should know, I play it on a constant basis.

From playing both, they seem pretty much the same, generally speaking except for the obvious. I havent played TF2 on the PC, in a while so not sure how things are, but in generally yes.

I said obvious.I know it more frantic, because it has an obviously higher player count, but the player don't move anymore faster.

The engineer needs updating? lol from day one the Engineer was the cheapest most overused class EVER, and to this day it still is, a smart well used engineer still trumps and destroys every other class.

What are you smoking? The scout alone probably literally moves faster then any fps console game ever..

The soldier and demoman are fairly slow walkers, but if you learn how to sticky/rocket jump you can actually traverse the map extremely fast

Medics and pyros move fairly fast

hvy is super slow

the rest average..

Your post is clearly a byproduct of ignorance.

So what? The TF2 360 community died a long time ago, to little to late.
