They should be, according to Microsoft's policies about DLC.

I'm thinking that everyone should play the superior versionDevelopmentArrested said:Now, what do you think

eznark said: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.
KittenMaster said: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.
elostyle said:Just curious, what are we waiting for to get fixed?
I see. I hope servers play these new maps, because a lot of servers seem to like that Lazytown custom map and 2fort, heh.It sounds like the maps will be released individually on the PC and after a few of them are out, they'll release a bundled map pack for the 360 version.
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:How is the learning curve on TF2?

Valve: our downloadable content will be free

When perusing our comment threads, you may see comments from Team Fortress 2 fans that will be opting for the PC version over the 360 version? Why? Lots of free content. Specifically, lots of free user-made content. While it may be some time before user-made content heads to the 360, we are happy to report that any downloadable content for the Orange Box will be free. Eurogamer reports that Valve will not charge for its DLC. According to Team Fortress 2 designer, Robin Walker, "You buy the product, you get the content," who adds, "We make more money because more people buy it, not because we try and nickel-and-dime the same customers." We imagine that someone at EA -- publisher of the Orange Box -- has just imploded. Free content is always good, especially when you consider that TF2 will ship with only 6 maps.

I bought a Lumines pack just yesterday. I don't regret it.Borys said:*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

Anyways the maps better include Avanti, otherwise there's no still no reason to play TF2.
Pai Pai Master said:I hope Valve doesn't stay up at night wondering why their game only sold 50,000 units on PS3.

Coop said:They wont, they'll be too busy counting all the money they made from Steam.
TheGreatDave said:The game is lag free for me now, I thought the patch came out?
TF2 on 360 is all I play now, I need new maps.
Yep. don't know if it's gotten better since the last time I played it, but when I did, the lag was pretty horrific and the game unplayable on Live.Dark FaZe said:Lag free? I've had tons of issues with the 360 version of Orange Box.
