I thought that comic was really quite good, actually!

Did you ever play it on 360 when it came out? The netcode was awful, everything was unbearably laggy. There were so many glitches and bugs that every single game (and i mean every single one) would have someone outside the map or skywalking. People would mod it so on the off chance you founf a playable one, it would likely have zero gravity and an invincible, no clipping scout killing everything. Oh, and the demoman had 6 pipebombs in one clip that could explode on impact even after bouncing. There was no point in playing anything but demoman, unless you were skywalking in which case play engineer.StevieWonderMk2 said:
I knew I shouldn't have done this. Every single time I say anything negative about Valve on this forum people eat me. Just have a look round at some of the posts here and you'll understand.
Edit:
And there we have it. They don't care. Maybe I was a little harsh, but it's hard not to get frustrated after being lied to consistently and ignored very very thoroughly.BobisOnlyBob said:
I saw this, loved it
HOWEVER, about those sound files...
Anyone who played TF2 after the most recent update has probably noticed that ALL THEY DO is replace the standard Victory/Time/Point/Intel/Defeat Administrator sounds as they play, stuff like "5 Minutes left in the mission" turns into "5 minutes left until the Friendship ends!" and such things
At least I got that a few times while playing Payload with a Friend on the enemy team (though it was simply Payload)

I can't wait 'till I get my new computer. Damn updates causing fucking issues with my laptop (mega lag).
I was under the impression that Microsoft had to deal with he thousands upon thousands of people who would download and they wouldn't make any money from itOver_Krill said:

I'm not sure I've ever played a more polished and balanced, AND, quite frankly perfect online shooter in my life.
Let me encourage you to return to reality.
I would agree with the assertion that it is thoroughly broken and unfinished and Valve are a bunch of assholes for it (for the xbox) IF, AND ONLY IF, it was released alone, but hell, it was part of a FUCKING GIANT COMBO PACK that STILL would have been a great deal if it wasn't included at all, if you are that annoyed, get it for PC, and yes, blame Microsoft, because if they can release it for the PC, the only possible reason they can't just adapt most of that code over with minimal effort is because of XBL policies.Hiphophippo said:
Microsoft makes you pay to play on line they would not lose any money thats for sure and valve release them for free and you do not have to pay for steam its just greed and nothing else why are you trying to defend Microsoft.The Kangaroo said:
Oh, we're mad because of the console version of the game? Yea, I've got that too but it's such intense representation of PC's being better. (opinion of course)danpascooch said:
Obviously I spend my time on the PC version.
All I am trying to do is to try and prevent everyone painting Microsoft with the greed brush and may I remind everyone that Valve has released paid DLC to Portal and L4D so why not TF2?Over_Krill said:
If Valve released each individual update on XBL, Microsoft would charge money for every update A la Crash Course. Meaning Valve can either release all the updates at once on the X Box, and get accused of taking forever, and not properly supporting the game in the meanwhile, or they can be forced to charge for every update, and get accused of Nickle and Dimeing its customers. There's no pleasing some people.
A lot of people also complain that they released he game on X Box without a sufficient amount of content. Oh yeah totally. You only got TF2 with a limited number of maps. And Portal. And Half Life 2. And Episode 1. And episode 2. In a single game. Yeah, that complaint doesn't really hold water. It simply means that Console buyers got great deal instead of an unbelievably fantastic deal, and when Valve tried to update it, Microsoft shut them down. Yes, TF2 is better on PC, but console players were hardly hosed. Its just that on different platforms, Valve has to play by the less consumer friendly rules of those respective platforms. Its a lesson that Valve has learned, and are trying to fix, in the meantime they still have supplied a great product. Why does every criticism, especially of things that a lot of people like, have to be a massive accusation of evil cooperation exploitation? Valve did a good job with room for improvement, and are working on it. You can't ask for any more ten that.
