If this is implemented, hopefully there will be an option to select which system you wish to play against. 

Your thoughts?

I don't think it would really make that much a difference. The only weapon you really need to aim with would be the shotgun.

Haha. Valve's games are dominated by FPS freaks. No way XBOX 360 players can be effective.

I think It would be very tricky to pull off a rocket jump using a controller. also lots of TF players use binds to pull of certain actions(one key rocket jumping ftw.)

 

edit: and I second what redneckdouglas said.

I assume this is only if you are paying to play on Xbo Live on through Vista.  I'm sure most of the Vista players rather play on the free servers with the XP players.

Oh, I was mainly referring to standard maps such as 2fort. I doubt user created maps will be available on console versions.

If this is part of Windows live gold It will be worth 50$ a year to see the reaction 360 gamers will have when you come up at first place.

So, do you make a habit of shooting fish in a barrel?  How about swatting mosquitos?  Same concept.

Nemme

If it does get implemented, I'm fairly certain console players will get some degree of auto-aim to help compensate for their control scheme. And then lucid arguments such as "Controller >>>>> M&K", "AutoAim is for n00bs", "Turn off Auto-Aim!!!11!1one!", and "Paying for PC multiplayer sucks!!" will break out en masse.

edit: link didn't work for me

I doubt it will happen, the game is run through Valve, and I doubt they would choose Windows Live, over Steam, their own service....So I highly doubt it.

Is it even worh the effort to implement it? It's not like many pcgamers will be doing it. Really...paying for P2P? THat's laughable in pcgaming and with few pc gamers playing it what's the point? even for 360 gamers?

This a joke? i can understand when the game is alot slower pace but this is team fortress were talking about. as and ex sta plat, tfl 1a and igl player in tfc i can say without a doubt console players will get raped.  tfc is all about speed accuracy and its much to fast paced to be effective with a controller vs kb/m. i dont see how you can bhop, prime a conc, hh it while bhoping,  control your airspeed, take flag, prime another conc, and get out. o i forgot to mention while dodging rpg's and oncomming fire. its just not possible with a controller.
