New maps, fixes coming for Team Fortress 2

i have to get this game apparently ive been in some kind of dark cave

I need to force myself to play it some more. The only class I've managed to like so far is medic-- I'm too much of an FPS guy to adapt to the totally unique gameplay of Team Fortress.

At this point, I don't see why ps3 owners should even care about this game...

this game needs another ctf map, pronto

...Hopefully before the end of the year?

and the award for best blog title and picture combination goes to...

This has been public knowledge on the forums for some time now. They've also promised us a new achievement pack for the medic which should be out any day now.

Some new CTF maps would be very much welcomed. I still play this game almost daily since the date of release, but have grown rather bored of the stock maps. The linear CP maps are incredibly painful to play. Thankfully the community has grasped the SDK with open arms and created a plethora of excellent custom maps.

Hopefully we'll see Hunted and Badlands make a return!

I haven't touched TF2 in weeks only because I've been busy. I thought I read somewhere about a few new achievements being added, but maybe I'm wrong.

New maps would be awesome. Time to inform your next of kin!

Man that screenshot....every time I hear the words Team Fortress 2 that exact image pops into my head lol

Considering I can MAKE my own maps for UT3 on PS3 now (supposedly, no levels finished to test although I do have five designs baking... closest to get done is Rumble Pit but my Kismet isn't working right), who cares about extra maps on a game they halfassed anyway? Sorry, Valve... any dent you could have made on PS3 was lost after COD4 and UT3 shipped.

I have to say I'm not concerned with the PS3 or 360 versions because there's no comparison to the PC.

Although I wonder if "fixing exploits" means actual gamebreaking issues or piddling balance complaints. If they fix the underground sentry exploit in Gravelpit, or maybe even taking damage through the gate in Dustbowl (although that was a part of TFC too), then fine. I'd be pissed if they messed with the classes because of everyone bitching about crit rockets or face-backstabs or standing on sentries et cetera, ad infinitum.

Finally some new maps...i wouldn't say i'm bored of the first 6, but after playing a tons of hours i can say i only really enjoy 3-4 out of the 6 (hate granery, not really fond of 2fort anymore, hydro is fun for a new minutes but in my opinion the choke points kill it.)

I've played many custom maps, some are great while most are pure shite (castle, crazedacre, mach2 i'm looking in your general direction)

I'd love some new achievements and maybe a new gamemode or 2, some more ctf maps would be great..

It's funny because everyone who is complaining about the game is a console player. This game is flawless on PC and it already has 100+ custom maps available!

I also wanted to mention that I played the UT3 demo and I have to admit I deleted it after an hour of play time. The game is total rubbish, maybe the visuals are nice but the gameplay sucks. If you want REAL 1on1 you need to get Quake, HL, Gears, style not the shitty "im faster then light" movement that you get in UT games.


BTW I'm a Doom, Duke3d, Quake 1-2-3 player so I know my FPS.

I wish there was one standard or licensable product for matchmaking that would take care of any random matchmaking problems that non-Halo games have. Sometimes I revert back to playing Halo 2/3 because I can't be troubled to deal with lag/finding a match/etc.

It seems like MS should just include a matchmaking platform that could be tailored for each individual game so developers could save time and provide a flawless system.

Ahaha, the heavy's face in the pic is so adorable. He's like a giant man-baby on Christmas day. I'm rabidly enjoying TF2 and it's actually the only FPS I've ever played on a nightly basis in....ever maybe. I think the last time I was this hooked on an online FPS it was the original Counterstrike when I was on a 28.8 modem.

Though I think the majority agrees that Grainery and Well are the weakest of the current maps, they're all really well done. I think it's the fact that they're symmetrical capture-the-point maps that turns people off. It works for CTF ala 2fort, but not quite as well for point-capture.

One thing I'd be interested to see is if they'll be tweaking the role of the medic in future updates, since it seems to be the most controversial class in the game to a lot of people. It's a class that few people tend to want to play, yet one that's pivotal to victory in many matches. Though really they may end up never touching the classes since, all things considered, they're astoundingly well balanced.

Also, I want a pyro figure to put on my desk. BADLY. I'll sculpt it myself if I have to.

I've been playing custom maps on the PC version on TF2, I find them much better than Valve's maps...

The game is freaking great though...

There is nothing like it out there...

Annd graphically, to me, it looks better than Crysis ever could...

Too bad the console versions suck ass...

^^The console version Dosnt suck ass atall IMO the game is great,Just a few bandwith issues wich will be fixed soon with a new Patch,and the new maps in the next year will top this game off nicly.And should Keep us console Gamers Happy for a while.

Just so you guys know i have all steam games on Pc,But my pc needs an upgrade to play all these new games

I own COD4, UT3 and TF2, all for pc. Personally, COD4 is the best tactical shooter and UT3 is the best arcade style shooter. TF2 just feels sluggish to me and i didn't like it very much. UT3 is far superior to it. I need to sell the orange box....

The framerate TF2 hasn't lagged on me that bad at all yet on the PS3. The only lag I've had is when it hits certain severs that are far away from me.

My only complaint: only six maps! Plus as an added bonus many PS3 players only to seem want to play 2fort!(to me the contorl ponit maps are more fun at times!)

I hope we get those maps on the Playstation store too...but I did want the PC edition mainly for the user created maps that us console users will never get to play...
