What Valve is calling the "largest update" to date for Team Fortress 2 on PC should be ready to surge down your Steam pipe at 7pm tonight.
The update includes new map Badlands - a revamped version of the map TFC players will be familiar with - general optimisations and new iterations of Dustbowl, Granary and CTF_Well maps that have been tweaked for "for enhanced performance and gameplay".
Cue bullet-point list...
The free update includes global optimizations for networking, graphics, and player statistics, plus improvements to Source TV for tournament viewing.
In addition, three of the currently available maps (Dustbowl, Granary, CTF_Well) have been iterated for enhanced performance and gameplay.
The release is headlined by the introduction of Badlands, a new map that pushes control-point gameplay onto vertical landscapes.
Nice one, Valve. My 360 copy of Orange Box, which arbitrarliy costs about £15 more than the PC version, can go without can it? Thanks for that!
That's £15 you've coughed up for MS, not for Valve. An open platform like the PC also doesn't need any extra Sony/MS/Ninty certification stuff for every patch/update.
is ot just me or has every 1 for got the major fact that half life and all of valvs products was made for a pc and ported i repeat ported to console meaning the pc will be the number 1 choice for the developers and the ported objects can cach up later
