okay so I just picked up three new games (Lost Planet, the Orange Box, and the original Halo) and one of them was the orange box. Now, I have the game already on my PC, but I needed a good online game for the 360. I did like TF2 on the PC, however the team stacking on the 360 version gets insane. I mean, forget that sometimes the scores of the teams are insanely uneven (one team will have lots of high scoring people, while one team will not) but once or twice I came into a game where it was 4v8! How is that fair?! Also, there have been games where its capture one control point, and seriously it ended in less than a minute. It gets annoying.

Now dont get me wrong, the game is sweet when the teams are even, and you can get some great standoffs going, but this game seems to suffer from the same problem as every other online shooter I have played on consoles. Apparently devs cant figure out how to incorporate a team-balance feature.

You can put auto balance in the team. Higher scores means they've probably been in the room longer. They have an auto balance feature but the host has to put the option on.

TF2 on 360 is laggy, and some people have to turn off auto balance to prevent lag.

I'm absolutely sick of TF2 now. It's terrible on 360. Valve forgot about us. I played it on PC and almost cried because it's so much better than the console ones. Plus there is NO teamwork 90% of the times I play.
