How is the learning curve on TF2? I'm thinking of picking it up for the PS3 (if the TF2 reviews for that version aren't awful) just so that I'm not diving in way over my head and either get frustrated or piss other people off for improper use of the medic or some such shit (or are TF2 players the kind, supportive type?) Figure if I get the PS3 version I'll be on par with the rest of the shlubs, and since I don't have much of an urge to play half life and portal seems to run fine on PS3, may be the way to go to get some longevity out of the Box.
Long-and-short...is it possible to play catch-up at this stage of the game in team fortress 2, or is there a brutal "newb" curve.

Maybe EA will find it in their hearts to give PS3 owners a patch.
Hey it could happen right?

For the competitive aspects that develop out of the community's experience, yes. But for basic interface and protocol issues, that's not quite excusable. The menu messes up all the time, covering up the bandwidth rating column. And the game looks great when it's running smooth (I've played through many rounds with absolutely no problems), but when it lags, it does the ugliest things. Even slight lag can make things like the rocket launcher unusable. (It seems to have somewhat separate issues from the normal movement lag effects, and is far more sensitive to it. I've had the rockets just not launch at all, for example.) And the dropping bodies thing it does to try to fix matters is a pretty ugly solution, and usually doesn't work.
And I hate the fact that you can be totally frozen up on lag, and while nothing seems to update for anyone, if you in any way were near the range of a turret, it probably took you down in that moment.
Either way, I'm happy for this patch, and I don't mind that it took this long. I just hope it does the trick.

Good news, thanks Shamrock.

TF2 is probably one of the easiest mulitplayer FPS's to pick up and learn. The maps are extremely well designed and easy to learn, and while it'll take awhile to learn the little tricks and quirks of each class, all of them (save for maybe the Spy) are very accessable and you can do some damage right out of the gate. I'm a bit behind on the TF2 PC crowd but I still play all the time and even though my K/D spread may not be stellar sometimes, I always have a blast.

I am an owner of the PC version, but I hope the maps come as free, just because it would be fair. Even if the maps didn't come for the PC version from Valve, custom map makers would very likely imitate the maps anyhow.

The testicle shattering LAG!
I don't find it that noticable, but a lot of other people seem to really hate it.

I see. I hope servers play these new maps, because a lot of servers seem to like that Lazytown custom map and 2fort, heh.

There is virtually no learning curve to TF2 with most classes. Pick Solider, Heavy, or Medic from the get go to learn. All the maps have arrows that point you in the direction of objectives. Anyone can pick it up in not time at all.eznark said:

Sorry for the bump, but just wanted to respond to this as I haven't been able to check this thread in a couple days.
As far as I know MS made a policy that publishers/developers can no longer charge for content that is free on another platform. I read this in a interview with Peter Moore after 360 fans were up in arms about Rainbow Six Vegas on PS3 getting all the maps free that 360 users had to pay for through downloadable content.
It got so many people mad that UBI Soft actually took the maps down for 24 hours off the MP, put them up the next day as "free" and refunded anyones money who paid for them. It was after that that Moore said the new policy in a interview. Now whether or not MS still honors what Moore said in that interview is different story.
edit: Dugg this up.

Any email that starts with those words = instant win.
Anyway, glad to see TF2 will be getting its shit together online. Hearing about the horrendous lag through word of mouth put me off picking up the game as there's so much other stuff to play right now but when the update hits (and if it truly does sort out the lag), I'll take the plunge.
*yawn*
And this is why retards who cried with joy when Bethesda released premium HORSE ARMOR and other premium stuff that SHOULD BE FUCKING FREE are just that... retards, no offense to anyone from Bethesda.
STOP BUYING DLC ON 360 or you'll bring doom to your own hobby
STOP MICRORAPEMENTS

Brilliant news, will get right back into this game when the patch and maps come out.
To be fair though when I have played it I have not had too much trouble with lag or finding games.

TF2 on 360 is all I play now, I need new maps.

Lag free? I've had tons of issues with the 360 version of Orange Box.

I think it's very much dependent on the host. If I host a game I can get a 16 player game going without any lag. Occasionally I'll join an 8 player one and we'll all jump around for 2 minutes before I give up and disconnect. I've found it to be a mostly enjoyable experience, maybe lag in...say, 10% of games. I may just be lucky.

its not just maps.Its game modes.
1.The console has no access to mods or usercreated maps so why not allow some other modes on the maps. The map with the trains would work fine as a CTF map ect.
2. lag sucks optimize it for listenservers which is what the host is. Shoot they could optimize TFC so it worked for people on 28.8 modems they can get this to work if they want to.
3.Fix the server browser stuff ITS BROKEN!
You can't find/join games with the game worth a crap.
Wheres the "Any" option ect so i can say show me all the servers running The Well "any" other settings plz. I dont' care what the player limit is ect. OR just show me all map servers with 16players that are open.
4. The stat tracking is broken My stats have never changed since after the first week of the game coming out no matter how many ranked games i played after that.
I still only have like 20kills for soldier ect.
Leaderboard filter options are broken as well Says hit X to filter next page..it never does anything.
