Go head-to-head with Team Fortress 2 dev team this Friday night on Xbox Live photo

Hey, want to personally complain to Valve about Team Fortress 2 lag on Xbox Live? Better yet, how about while you're playing a game of Team Fortress 2 over Xbox Live with the very team responsible for it?

This Friday, October 19 from 3-7 PM PDT, Xbox Live Gold subscribers will have the opportunity to go head-to-head against Valve in The Orange Box's Team Fortress 2. Being selected to play is easy, and there's no fancy contest to enter and win. Simply add a long list of Valve devs to your Xbox Live friends list, and then bomb them with game requests and profanities on Friday night.

OK, so who's going to be the first jerk to invite them to a game of Halo 3? Hit the jump for the full list of Gamertags you'll be spending an hour adding to your friends list.

Complaining to them about the lag won't do much good since they've already sent in a patch to fix it. The reason it hasn't been released yet is because Microsoft is still "certifying" it.

Anyway, I think I'll send em Bomberman Live invites. ;)

Man... I remember those SS's of the original design of TF2! That would have been "Ballin' Outta Control".

Would be funny if the patch became available on Friday, but didn't do anything to mitigate the lag issues.

Man, I remember that screenshot from when the ill-fated TF2...

They were trying to make TF all serious, and then Valve took a complete 180.

And I remember thinking "those graphics rock!"

How times have changed...

Please, don't make fun of the original idea for TF2. I love this TF2 like a baby likes candy but the original was such a revolutionary idea for it's time, and looked hecka good back then.

Also, that's why PC PWNS Xbox Live. Xbox Live is $50 a year for lag.

Send aegis wing invites, that way they can't say things like "oh, i don't have the game or points" so they'll have to admit they just don't want to play with you.
