Team Fortress 360 starts rumbling News

Xbox 360 News by Tom Bramwell

4 March, 2008

Valve has patched The Orange Box on Xbox 360 to fix and tweak a few bits and bobs in Team Fortress 2.

Probably the most noticeable change is that weapons now have rumble support, but it also fixes a number of exploits, and allows for ten- and fourteen-player games.

This is the full list of changes as posted on Xbox.com:

  • Fixed a medic invulnerability exploit.
  • Fixed grenades going through players or buildings.
  • Fixed exploit with rockets causing damage through thin walls.
  • Fixed exploit allowing snipers to fire faster than intended.
  • Fixed exploit allowing players to teleport with the intelligence.
  • Fixed exploit attaching sappers to buildings through walls.
  • Fixed spy backstab exploit.
  • Fixed spy being able to attack without dropping his disguise.
  • Medics no longer heal enemy spies when they're not disguised.
  • Tweaked autobalance calculations.
  • When an engineer dies in sudden death, his buildings explode.
  • Fixed stats sometimes not reporting correctly.
  • Added a dialog to indicate when the host shuts down the server.
  • Added rumble to TF weapons.
  • Fixed ping column sometimes getting hidden in some resolutions.
  • Added 10 and 14 player game sizes.
  • Prevent hosts selecting game sizes above their bandwidth limits.
  • Improved handling of large network packets to eliminate bandwidth spikes.
  • Reduced respawn times for smaller games.

Next time you load the game, you should be prompted to install the update.

TF2 is brilliant on PC but the 360 version fails to live up to it.

For some reason I love this on the PC but I tried the 360 version and didn't like it at all. It's not big enough. You can't even have one of each class on the same team at once.

@ systems.

Why not? I've played TF2 games like that on the 360. What were you playing?

The whole orange box is a bit poo if you ask me, I know it's sacrilege in the games world to say that but I find the Half life games to be dull dull dull, they really show their age and are just boring. I'm just ploughing through them trying to get them over and done with. Portal is ok but nothing special. And TF is dog wank.

Why do you need to tell everyone that you're telling me to explain why I need to tell everyone that?

Prevent hosts selecting game sizes above their bandwidth limits.

Hopefully this will help some of the lag issues!

Why does he have to explain why he doesn't like a game? If you come on here heaping praise on a game, are you instantly asked to explain your opinion?

And the main point here should be that it is an opinion - you don't need to like it, hell, you don't even have to listen to it. He's not telling you what to like.
