I bought this for $20, completely exctied. I get onto it, and it's a struggle to find a game, I can't even find a ranked matched. Does it have to do with my gamer zone? I'm currently in Underground.

It doesn't have anything to do with your gamer zone. That shows goes on your profile for show.
 When I did have The Orange Box there really weren't that many games going on then. I can't imagine what it would be like now.

sadly steam has not giving 360 as much love as the pc one. I don't play it on 360 so my advice would be to go buy the pc one. It s pretty cheap

PS3 version is pretty busy so I would've thought 360 would've been fine.

Yea, like others say no ranked matches, I'll also add refresh a bunch of times.  It is sad how Valve has ignored the 360 version, I haven't bothered with it for a while now.

You're best bet is to try during peak hours.

Gamerzone means nothing.
 
@Toxic: It's Valve who makes it.

Whenever I've tried to play TF2 on 360, I didn't have too many problems.

When the Orange Box, first arrived on the 360, there were many people playing it. Now, you'll be lucky to find the ocassional ghost account.

I hope so. Halo 3 has a better online community.

I would say that Valve has IGNORED the 360 version.  Microsoft just won't let them put all the updates on there for free, so they've been stuck in limbo on that for a long time.  It does suck, however.  Also...like everyone else said...player matches. "

It's a buggy piece of shit on consoles and people are cheating at all times, that's why I stick to the PC, it takes one dude glitching with the engie to ruin a good game of dustbowl. Too bad cuz I had a lot of fun with it on the 360.
 
Also, nobody plays ranked due to the fact that when someone drops from a ranked game nobody takes their place. Once a ranked game has started nobody can join, which sucks. Not that ranked play actually gives you anything.

Are the goofy ass moon physics gone from the 360 community yet?

Yeah i have a hard time finding games in that too, though i think TF2 is a game I would much much rather play on the pc anyway.  I don't think it was ported all that well :/

You certainly find weird stuff on the 360 version of TF2. Take random levels from HL2 for example.

" @pissedoffthewitch: There is no ranked games. You will find games just a matter of are they good or not most people lock classes though. "

yes, for 360, each time it try and play there are only a couple of virtually empty lobbies which i cannot connect to.

easy mistake. steam and valve are the same company "

I just played the 360 version last week, had a blast there's lots of people on.

I played it today. Far from dead.

"Then cheat back.  I've been playing on the 360 since day one and it is still fun. I mean yeah, the PC version is OK. It just isn't the same though. Sure, we don't have all the updates, but who cares? The game is still great. It really has almost developed its own culture at this point, completely seperate to the PC. All the regulars know the hacks by now, and I've never been in a game where they've actually been effective once identified. The only really problem I've found is that most of the time people don't have mikes, but that seems to be an issue on quite a few PC servers as well. The problem being there is no option to enter text on 360. Either way though, it is still my most played game on 360 and I don't see it being usurped anytime soon. "

When I used to play I could only get into player matches. I also doubt they will ever update this for 360 even though it's been planned forever...

nobody plays ranked matches on the xbox, but if you do player match, you'll most likely join a full game or start with two people and grow to 8 or 10 in like 5 minutes

I played the game endlessly on the 360, it was one of the best games for meeting random people online (hell I've still got people sending me invites to play, but I'm rarely if ever on) and It was no doubt a lot of fun. Saying that the PC version is just OK is delusional and saying the hacks are not effective is just a god damn lie, you can set up a sentry on dustbowl 2-2 behind a rock wall near the capture point making it uncappable (you can't shot it but it can shoot you). Cheat back? Yeah, that's a lot of fun. I'd rather play the game as it was intended without shitty exploits. The cheating is also WAY too common. Also there is no koth_nucleus or pl_badwater, making the game 1000% less fun. Godly maps. Best thing about the 360 version though, everyone is garbage at the game compared to PC. No seriously it's like playing against blind people or something. People on consoles crave that auto-aim, they don't get it on TF2 though and people who can deal without end up dominating, which I'll admit is fun. "
