New TF2 maps shun 360, PS3?

Two new maps in the pipe from Valve, but consoles may be left out in the cold
Two new Team Fortress 2 maps that are being created by Valve may not be released for Xbox 360 and PS3.

ShackNews reports it's received word from the developer that the maps are "undecided" for the consoles.

But they will, of course, definitely release on Team Fortress 2 on PC.

One of the new maps remains a mystery, however the other is a remake of Badlands, which players of Team Fortress Classic will be familiar with.

Valve additionally expects to ship other TF2 content before the two maps arrive, which includes new achievements and a "significant gameplay tweak" for the Medic class.

"It's a large scale modification to the core of the game," Valve's Robin Walker has said of the new class content. "It'll debut in a limited fashion through the Medic first, but it'll be affecting all classes eventually."

Both new Team Fortress 2 maps are expected within the next couple of months.

unless they were free on the 360, which is highly unlikely, i really doudt anyway would be willing to pay money for two maps. maybe later when they have a decent collection of maps to sell.

No doubt they're reluctant to enter into talks with Microsoft about how they will release the maps on the 360.

"OK, so first item on the agenda, new TF2 maps. So how much will we be charging?"

"Nothing, they'll be free"

"Excuse me?"

"F.R.E.E."

"Yeah...that doesn't really work for us. What we propose is a two tier system wh..."

PS3 should be relatively straightforward though, I'd assume.

Go away fanboy, as for the ps3 bit, as EA worked on your orange box id say it wont be much simpler.

Leave the medic class alone. THey better not change it by much. The medic is like the best out of them all.

Shut up you f**king bellend. I don't even own a PS3. PS3 is a more open platform than the 360 is. You're the fanboy. snooker cue.

You'd have to be mad to play this game, that was made for the PC on a console. I love my PS3 and my 360 but it is a PC game.

I think you mis-understand what he means here - I think he means in terms of licence and not charging for money. (Oh I see he has answer this now!) I think you should check your asumption before you parade in with the "F" word!
