All right, let's get this out of the way: The PC version is wonderful, it cures cancer, it fellates you with every glorious stroke of the mouse, and the console version is the cure for the cure for AIDS. Happy now? What can I say, I'm a glutton for punishment.
Anyway, MTV Multiplayer's Patrick Klepek did us console TF2ers a
huge favor and
asked Valve's Doug Lombardi if any of this multitude of
new content will ever make its way to the 360 and PS3. As the post title implies, he had some
very encouraging, if not vague, words:
“[There is] nothing to announce — yet.”
So, I'm going to assume this means that Valve is either in negotiations with XBL and PSN or they've finally worked something out with them. Hopefully, nothing goes wrong, and all parties will be reasonable. Anyway, this news has me on cloud nine. Even though I don't even own a 360, I will immediately shell out whatever ridiculous price MS wants to slap on this DLC, especially if it contains all three of the major updates.
Also, patches! No more skywalkers!

That pic is amazing. Other than that TF2 on PC for me.
Currently, my only option is on the 360 and I would really like to see the updates transfer over.
LOL @ TF2 for 360.
While you guys have skywalkers, I shall enjoy my heavy update next Tuesday. :)
I hardly play any games on PC but I chose TF2 on PC even though I can only handle it on medium settings. It's just so much better than on the consoles.
I think it's logical to assume that the updates will be delivered to the 360 after every class patch has been released. The downside is that it's also not a huge leap to assume that Microsoft will want Valve to charge for the update like it's some kind of expansion.
good news for people who play on consoles...maybe
(also, just notice we have the same birthday)
No way this is coming to PSN. Gabe Newell hate anything that isn't microsoft.
I heart Mods.
That's all.
That's good news. It'll be interesting to see if more achievement points are given for the unlocking achievements.
MS has red-tape up the wazoo....Valve wants it free, MS wants to charge so they are going to wait until all the updates are complete before a 360 release.
I'm personally of the opinion that console TF2 players couldn't handle the updates if they did get them.
That would make me happy...my computer is crap, so 360 it was.
I gave up on the console version of TF2 and just bought the PC version. This means nothing to me anymore, sadly.
If its ture that Vanla wants the Orange Box console updates to be free but M$ wants to charge for DLC, I wonder how that will affect Sony of both end up getting.
Imagine a situation where its free on PSN but is paid content on 360. It wouldn't make M$ look too good. Although, Valve would probably be blamed so I can't imagine this ever happening.
Still, even though 90% of my current game collection is 360, I kinda wish MS were forced to eat a little humble pie and reconsider their approach.
I would pick this up too. I don't see why they would have to charge for it though. Ubisoft recently released the "gift pack" for Vegas 2 which added some new stuff and was completely free for everyone. Besides, TF2 on the 360 has some pretty serious issues which need to be addressed so that anyone who still plays it can actually have fun doing so.
Valve, read: No, I don't want to host a game after I didn't find one to join... also, party system integration plz.
I played TF2 on the 360 and it's a wasteland. I might pick it up, but I'm much more interested in TF2 on the PC... and getting a computer that doesn't lag when I run the damn thing. Stupid Dell piece of crap...
@BlindsideDork
But you don't know that. It's all speculation. It would make more sense, on Microsoft's part, to release them in groups of three. First pack = Medic, Pyro, and Heavy updates, and so on.
@silverdragon1979
Congrats on sounding like a PC elitist douchebag. You keep on believing that PC gamers are superior to console gamers. Enjoy that false sense of superiority, bud.
I have heard that Valve wants to release the updates for free, but Microsoft disagrees, and that's what's delaying things so much. So maybe Valve wants to get enough together so that five or ten bucks for the content isn't a bad deal.
Frankly, I can't wait.
My PC can't even run TFC anymore.. haha.
It would be pretty homosexual for Microsoft to charge for these updates. But whether they charge or not, they need to get them released NOW. It's getting a bit ridiculous.
I would be very happy if this happened, because my PC runs TF2 like shit. I still need to pick up The Orange Box on 360 though.
