TF2 Sniper update due in "days" News
PC Xbox 360 News by Robert Purchese
Valve plans to release the Sniper update for Team Fortress 2 in "the coming days".
Inside will be three new unlockable weapons, extra Achievements and some maps. Valve will drip-feed specific details on the Team Fortress 2 blog over the next few days.
We do know one of the new weapons will be The Huntsman bow and arrow, which pins prey to walls. Let fly a bolt at someone's head to score an instant critical hit, but beware of the one-second full-power charge and the limited quiver of 18 arrows.
This, like previous class updates, is only for PC. The whereabouts of the "massive" Xbox 360 patch, which will contain all the PC updates so far, is still unknown. Valve has confirmed it to be in development, though.

Valve time 'days'?
Wish they'd updated the Soldier before the Sniper. Poor git has been gimped for ages. EDIT: Apparently they've run in to some tricky technical problems with the 360 update which explains the delay. Not that I really care...sorry, but for TF2 PC is the only way to go.

Yeah they're really bad with the 360 conversions and stuff, and obviously don't bother to redesign & rebalance their games for a controller rather than mouse/keys which means they are really flawed...
However.. everyone I know plays games on the 360 (me included) so I still have to say: "get it on the 360 or it didn't happen". |

Kudos to them for maintaining that they will be updating the 360 version but is it really worth the effort? As fantastic as the game is the 360 TF2 lobbies are practically empty and I don't see a mass return occurring when a few classes are updated.

Why does Eurogamer continue to include info about Team Fortress in the 360 section when nothing has been announced? I have been very disappointed by the lack of support this title has received from Valve on the 360, especially considering what they have done for the PC version.

If you didnt get the orange box for £5 off steam then I have little sympathy for console TF2 players. I really dont understand how anyone can use their PC as an excuse either, I have a 3 year old PC that was crap when I put it together that runs TF2 just fine, the chance of the updates coming to consoles is getting smaller and smaller as the update grows in size.
