I'm gonna buy orange box in a few days, but I do remember that it had lag issues at launch. I've read of patches and stuff, but did they actually work? Question: Does TF2 still lag online? If it lags, when or all the time? This topic is to people that actually know what they're talking about.
I loaded up TF2 a few weeks ago and there was literally no-one else on. I was the only person, in the world, online in TF2 at that time. The online is dead. The Half-Life games and Portal are awesome and more than justify a purchase. If you're only getting it for TF2 I'd say forget it.
I've never played any of the HL2 games for more than an hour or so at my friends house, so I was mainly thinking on it as an offline game. But damn, I thought that TF2 was a popular online game. I guess there are too many good online games to justify playing TF2 on the 360...
it doesnt lag as much as it used to. they keep upadting it and one thing i noticed is the frame drops, its been smoother now compared to what it was before.
I had heard of the lag issues but only experienced them a couple of times, nothing major.
Had it on launch day and for a few weeks it was the best game I ever played. Soon though, every last person started playing as engineers and more or less took the fun out of it. I felt like the only person who wasn't one.
you should get Team Fortress 2 for the PCVic_Vega1994
Yes, I know. But the thing is that I'm going to Finland to do my army duty for 6-12 months or so. During that time I wont have access to my gaming PC and probably not for live either. So thats why I'm interested to the offline part. EDIT: Spelling

Well if that's the case than The Orange Box will bring you lots of fun because of all the content you get for the price. 5 games in 1 is amazing.
TF2 was really bad on 360 IMO, especially when compared with the other online giants like Gears of war, Halo 3 and COD 4. But get The Orange Box without a doubt. Greatest deal ever! Half life 2 and Portal are amazing.
A couple times a week, I'll play Team Fortress for four or five hours straight. I can't put a figure on how many times I have a connection problem, because it hardly ever happens.
To people saying that no one plays the game: Your Team Fortress experience represents a statistical anomaly. I play at least every other day, and the longest I've ever had to wait for a lobby to fill up was about 10 minutes. That's a bit, but again I stress that is the longest I've ever had to wait. On a normal evening, it takes a couple minutes to fill up a game. Furthermore, I only play in ranked matches; there's always more activity in player matches.
