Valve Software is set to release new maps for Team Fortress 2, its team-based multiplayer sequel featuring in The Orange Box.
Shacknews reports that the developer plans to release the maps individually for PC and in a map pack for TF2 on Xbox 360. As yet there's been no mention of the maps releasing for the PS3 version.
Quite what the maps are and precisely when they'll be released is to be announced.
In related news a patch for Team Fortress 2 on Xbox 360 that addresses bugs and exploits, amongst other things, is imminent, possibly out just before Christmas.
Good news, I got bored of the maps while back in the beta stage, so I haven't really played it since buying it, this might give it a fresh lease of life, and hopefully there will be different themes this time.
Good news but i'm sure Microsoft will fleece us once again like the sheep that we are! Not that i would blame Valve cos the value of the orange box is outstanding.
Odds on them doing an about-face and trying to charge for the pc maps?
Zero.
Anyway, the game definitely needs more maps. Everyone's got too savvy with the current ones. I hope they change the look a bit too - that 'dusty Texan refinery' look wears thin after a while.
You guys should try playing some of the home brew maps that are on the servers at the mo. I suspect allot of them are remakes of original TF maps, and the quality is generally high!

I would like to disagree, all custom maps i played were rubbish. VALVe must have done a lot of play testing to get the official ones right. I just hope they will release more than 2 new maps... (hopefully at least one CTB)
If they charge for maps, don't pay for them, it's as simple as that. You're a sucker if you do and you ruin it for the rest of us by telling them it's ok to rip us off.

BTW, is the PS3 version as s**t as I've heard?
i really doudt valve would charge for anything other than the games. especially on the pc
and the ps3 version isnt as good as the 360 and pc versions but its along way from being s**t.
