Team Fortress 2 on 360 Gets Patched

The patch addressing multiplayer lag issues in Valve's Xbox 360 version of Team Fortress 2 is now available and will be automatically downloaded from Xbox Live's servers upon starting the game. Valve said a patch would be available soon after the release of The Orange Box (PC, PS3, X360) when some gamers complained of spotty online play in the console version of Valve's team-based shooter. Though some haven't experienced problems with the 360's Team Fortress 2, gamers in the title's Xbox.com forum have voiced mixed feelings about the patch, saying the game still suffers from lag after the update. Orange Box 360 owners, feel free to comment on your own troubles or trouble-free experiences in playing Team Fortress 2 over Xbox Live.

i dont think you can blame the patch or the netcode. last time i played, i noticed that there just werent that many servers to choose from. since 90% of tf2 players bought the pc version.

Didn't we learn that hosting servers in the background on our DSL/Cable (or, worse, ISDN) was a bad idea 10+ years ago?

I guess some of us need to learn that lesson again as console gamers. ><

I had a lot of lag prior to the patch.. I have a lot of lag after the patch. I do however feel that this issue is mainly caused by people with craptastic net connections hosting games when they really shouldn't be.

this is the reason I only buy console games based on their single player storyline

leave the multiplayer to the pc where it belongs. the only console game that even made an ATTEMPT at dedicated servers that I know of is rainbow six vegas and even that attempt was sad because the dedicate server could only be run on an xbox 360
