Yeah. Microsoft won't let them have free DLC or update TF2 in the fashion they do, so the 360 version is essentially dead. And Valve hated the PS3 back when this released, so yeah.

This is disappointing, 99cents for each match(win) to play on a real server with stat tracking and loot drops. Either make the stat tracking free across the board or make this a 5/10 dollar dlc with rare drops rather than a guaranteed drop every game for a dollar.

For what it's worth, the general opinion the crew has is very incorrect in that most players on the default quick-play servers are pretty terrible. You are generally able to hop in and get playing without getting destroyed by weirdo neckbeards who have played this game for 5 years straight. There are a lot of people at all different skill levels, you just gotta put in the effort to find a server that fits you. Maybe the co-op will get more people interested but I really hope that people who have been avoiding the game because the prospect of going against losers like me who have been playing a cartoon video game shooty man hat sim for years and years stick around.

yeah I was also baffled with this...

@Flacracker: I really think, or at least I hope, "People are better than me at thing! Won't do thing!" isn't a common attitude of someone who's going to bother to mess around in SFM in the first place.

So why did Valve even release the Source Filmmaker if they are pretty much just telling people to go fuck themselves by releasing videos like this?

I'm just saying this that video completely destroys anything anybody will ever make with it.

What the HELL is a DLC.

The console version hasn't been updated in 5 years. I'm not even joking. It's a beta build that they run.

They haven't updated the console version, like, ever. It's still operating on un-upgradeable Dispensers/Teleporters and 6 pipes in the Demo grenade launcher.

@Soral: Yeah I was pretty bewildered during the podcast when they said that. I don't consider myself very good at most First Person Shooters, but I find I can usually place in the top 3 fairly easily, and that's with less than 100 hours game time.

EA did free updates with Burnout Paradise but lost money.

Oh man, I am so waiting the dl of this. Best part is it's free and pretty much every steam owner has it. Bonus points if you also like TF2. Which I do. :)

Am I blind, or was there no human pyro?

The Spy and the Sniper were missing too, but it's a six-player mode, so there had to be some cuts. :P

All the characters will be there. They are just not all in the video.

Just to clear this up, you can play as every class in this mode. They just didn't show every class in this trailer. Pyro, Spy etc are all in it. It's 6 players that is the limit, not 6 classes!

Robot: That...doesn't make any sense.

Pyro: "FWOOOSH!"

Scout: "C'mon guys. Let's go across the street. This robot's already on fire. Heheheheheheheeee."

Fucking yeah man! This looks awesome. I've tried hopping into TF2 recently and it's crazy fun but jumping in with people who have been playing for the past 5 year makes it tough. This, however, is perfect for me. Woo!

@SoothsayerGB: God damn it, I love Valve. I wonder how many Half Life 3 hints they have dropped over the years without being noticed.

I've seen things in some of their game mash-up images for their huge sales that I thought maybe were Half-Life 3 hints, but since nothing substantial ever came of them, I thought maybe I was reading too much into things.
