Team Fortress 2 update by end 2007 (Xbox 360). New maps pack coming in early 2008 (PC, Xbox 360)
Valve Software Engineer, Kerry Davis, replied via email to a user question why there’s been no Xbox 360 support for Team Fortress 2 (that’s included in The Orange Box). Valve replied saying a new update was finished on Tuesday and will be through Microsoft’s 10-14 day certification time in time for Christmas 2007. Here’s what he says the patch will do:
“The update fixes several game-play exploits, improves bandwidth usage, improves stats reporting, and fixes some menu bugs. Most of the fixes that are in this update are in response to forum posts from both the PC and 360, and from direct in-game feedback from players. (Yes, we actually have several people who regularly play TF2 on the 360 and collect feedback from the players. It’s a tough job, but someone has to do it.)”
But that’s not all, likely in early 2008, there’s a Team Fortress 2 map pack planned as downloadable content on Xbox Live and the new maps they are currently working on will be released on PC individually. To quote:
“I don’t know what the schedule will be for that - new maps will likely be released individually on the PC as they’re ready, and then we’ll offer them as a single pack on the 360. We’re currently testing a new map that’s extremely fun, and we can’t wait for our customers to try it out.” — Quotes thanks to Shamrock
