The roster of maps for Team Fortress 2 just got bulked up by the addition of Badlands. Consider it Valve's way of saying Happy Valentine's Day.

And in typically valve style, fashionably late (for valentines)

i will start playing it again once the net connection at my new flats sorted (major pita), and another map will make that all so sweeter.

I've only just start playing TF2, I'm not stopping now! Any improvements is a good thing in my opinion. I'd rather they spent some time getting TF2 perfect and adding maps than rushed into the next full game.

naokaji · 15th Feb 2008, 12:33

finally... about time we get more maps (even if its only one).

rjkoneill · 15th Feb 2008, 12:39

all i can say is "COME ON!"

Zut · 15th Feb 2008, 12:53

DAMMIT! And I was trying to wean myself off TF2 too!

frontline · 15th Feb 2008, 13:18

I'm still wating for an update to Day of defeat Source, 2 and half years after release...

g3n3tiX · 15th Feb 2008, 13:48

I'm scared they call it a "free" update...that means there might be some paying content...
Still waiting for the Medic pack. I hoped they would release it at the same time, but I was wrong. Yay for badlands, gotta try t now !
There's also a new corridor in dustbowl to avoid some sentries.

hmmm - when I get bored of dmc4 I might have a gander - theres something odd about the peace of console gaming vs. the rage of an online game with crits

I don't quite understand what this means - it's an update to a game you've already bought. You're definitely not getting new games with the update and you guys know that. The statement above is kinda irrelevant then, no? I don't know how Valve works but I'm guessing there's a team dedicated to improving TF2 and there's a team dedicated to new releases..

I cant get used to TF2

I still manage to press my del or cntrl key for my "imaginary" conc or grenate...

Bionic-Blob · 15th Feb 2008, 17:18

i never found it that interesting tbh...i found it fun for a little while (a few days?)

don't really see what all the hype was about myself

sub routine · 15th Feb 2008, 17:31

Starting to get right into TF2 now. Was a bit wierd to get used to the classes to start but the more I play the more I LOVE IT.

Pitty I`m sooo crap at it

Impossible · 15th Feb 2008, 17:48

From what the valve forums say....

The free update is to signal that its avalible to console users for free.

If they make the PC content chargable then they will end up with EA like reputation (think BF2 and its add ons)

scq · 18th Feb 2008, 03:58

The Pyro doesn't have a gender. You have to be human first. Damn pyros....

As for the updates, I'm very pleased. At least Valve continues to offer value after you buy the game.

I'm hugely surprised nobody in this thread knew - or at least mentioned, that there's been a complete Map Pack for TF2 available for a while now

TF2 Map Pack 1

You'll have to Google - or check your favoured gaming sites for it, if you don't like Fileplanet

steveo_mcg · 18th Feb 2008, 09:18

They are custom maps, i've played a few and they're not that good. Quite a few ports and they don't seem to work as well in tf2 as they did in there original game.

ou7blaze · 18th Feb 2008, 16:18

Had the orange box for a while never really found TF2 enjoyable at all.

The original one kicked it's ass, if TF2 was like the original then I'd be playing it everyday instead of insurgency or crysis
