    Much love coming soon for this tall drink of water.
    Much love coming soon for this tall drink of water.
    Amidst all the hubbub about Left 4 Dead, you might have forgotten about last year's big multiplayer release from Valve, Team Fortress 2. Good thing Valve hasn't forgotten! Yesterday the official TF2 blog ran a story with a bunch of updates about what's going on with the game. Most surprising was the revelation that the Xbox 360 version will finally be getting all the fun post-release add-ons the PC version has seen lately.

    We are actively working on a massive XBox 360 update, which will include pretty much everything we've shipped on the PC in the last year. We'll provide you with a rough date when we have one.

    Great news for people who complained Valve has been neglecting the 360 game. And perhaps even better news for people who bought Left 4 Dead on the Xbox (and are, y'know, wondering about post-release support on that one).

    The post also detailed numerous improvements coming to the game, from class and teleporter tweaks to the next character class content pack, which it was confirmed will go to the Scout. The first patch is now out, and here's a full rundown of the changes (stolen from Shacknews).

    • The Engineer's teleporters can now be upgraded to level three. It will recharge faster the higher level it is
    • The Engineer's dispensers can now be upgraded to level three. It will give out metal and heal faster as it is upgraded
    • Spies will be able to recharge their cloaking ability by picking up ammo off of the ground or from health cabinets
    • Some changes to the second part of the first stage of Goldrush to give the attackers more of an advantage
    • Any weapons that fire bullets (shotguns, sniper's machine gun, heavy's minigun, etc.) can now break apart the Demoman's stickybombs
    • The icon on the HUD for a person calling for Medic will now give more information to the medic (if the target is low on health, on fire, etc.)
    • Added an achievement tracker that will allow people to choose specific achievements that they are trying to get
    • There is now a custom icon for death messages when the player was killed from a critical hit
    • Added a new particle effect for when a player enters the water
    • Added smoke to the feet of a rocket jumping soldier
    • Players will now have some particles swirling around them so other players can see when they are overhealed

    Anybody still playing Team Fortress 2 out there, or have Gears 2, Left 4 Dead, and other shiny new toys distracted you?

    OH THANK GOD!
    Despite its many glitches, I still found myself returning to TF2 on my 360 again and again.  I love this game too much for its flaws to get in my way.
    Can't wait for this patch, though.  Hopefully it's free, but even if it's not, I'll get the damn thing.

    FINALLY! The spy and demoman changes will COMPLETELY change the dynamics of the game. A spy can now run around an enemy base indefinitely, and the demo man no longer has winbombs, just stickybombs. Amazing. Shame to see the upgrade go to the scout rather than the spy, but I suspect the new cloking rules will give the spy a much easier time in stalemate prone maps like 2fort.

    That was made clear......it said the 360 update is going to happen very soon, but the update released today was for PC.  Trolling doesn't look good on you, I suggest you stick to something else.

    Oh man thats some great news, i know they said that updates for TF2 would be slow or non-existant until early 2009 but now i can see why. Finally the console gamers get in on the cool updated us PC gamers have had for ages!

    Yep. I'm surprised this last update even made it out, but it has some pretty significant changes in it that seems very interesting, I'm definitely playing some in a little bit. We should get in some games soon Hamz :)

    Finally, they are breaking their silence!  Good to know Scout will be getting some love.  He is definitely useless in payload maps... usually only used as a last resort to zerg the cart in the last minute of a close game.  Since they are focusing on him being updated for payload play, I am sure we can safely assume they will be adding another payload map with the update as well.  Also, very glad to hear about the engi/spy updates, the spy upgrade is music to my ears :D

    Good.  I really hope people start playing that on the 360 again.  When I first got the orange box I only had a silver membership.  I played TF2 for a few hours on a friends gold membership and loved it.  Now that I can play it myself I can't wait.

    I can't wait. I love TF2, I just discovered it last August. I haven't had much time for it with school and the glut of holiday releases, but it is my go-to online multiplayer game. Never mind Call of Duty or any of that... okay well L4D is there, too. Also I love City of Heroes... Since when did I become a PC gamer?

    If the 360 update has all the maps, game modes, and weapon upgrades, then I don't think I would mind paying, as long as it's reasonably priced. Hopefully, though, Valve could work something out to give it to use for free.
