Disappointing that it is not the long promised uber-update, but I do suppose a small update is better than nothing. Anybody find any changes to the gameplay Hosting options and non-modding rules aside?

Ever since I got TF2 on the PC I haven't touched the console version.

I thought that they gave up updating it long ago.

Well it sucks to have TF2 for the 360, it took a year for class limits.

^^^ Yeah I know... the worst part is, according to the steam 360 forums, some modders were working on a dustbowl payload map, but due to the update, is now impossible to play on public servers. They really should have addressed the round killing glitches + glitchers before closing down the modders. I would much rather have skywalking free games than having to occasionally back out of a zero gravity game.

Sigh, I should have bought The Orange Box for the PC. Damn computer limitations! *shakes fist*

BS! I want to play TF2 as PC owners do, my fiddly little laptop cant handle anything too big so the PC version is out. Hell, my laptop'll even struggle with movies sometimes.

Pfft, and VALVe doesn't want to support the PS3 because they "don't want to give them the shortend of the stick". Bah, says I, BAH! They don't even support the 360 let alone the actual PS3 version of the Orange Box.

Blech, sorry, VALVe has been pissing me off lately, they're doing a lot of wrong things, or if not wrong things then things that make the public angry for whatever reason.

Is anyone really surprised by this? I mean, I think that we've all realized by now that Valve doesn't like consoles. Regardless of what they say.

Yeah, honestly its a shame Valve didn't have a PS3 team for TF2, as they most likely would have gotten the updates freaking free.

Good - these updates have dramatically improved the game. It may not seem like much to PC players but these updates have been needed for the 360 version of the game.
It also included measures to stop people modding servers - something that has plagued the game for a good while now.

I think the update is pretty cool but only in the right hands. All heavy games SUCK. But the occasional game without Sentries ruining the flow is pretty good. I personally don't see the point in taking out crits though.

I'm s big 360 TF2er and I love this update!

I think one of the comments on the article summed this up pretty well:

The update should just be a text file saying "BUY THIS ON PC"
