The Patch is here - 360 - Page 2

Before the patch, you could build a despenser underwater and stay under indefinitely (healed faster than drowned). With the nerfed despenser, this is no longer possible.

All we need now are some new maps and modes, and the ability to cancel or to counter the ubercharge.

Health goes up faster before round.

That helps. Thanks.

With the three month time it took to get the patch out, I wonder if Valve has already submitted the next patch?

Apparently there is a cost in submitting a patch to Microsoft which tells me it isn't automatic that another patch is in the works.

I think that would tell us most about the future of TF2 on the XBOX -- if there is another patch in the works, it would imply that we might then see DLC such as the new maps. But, if there is no patch in the works, that would be a very strong indicator we've seen the last of the changes for the XBOX.

I'm bummed that engineer's buildings explode if they die in sudden death. Can anyone tell me if this is how it is in the PC version? Thanks for the updates!

Yup, that's how it works on the PC version.

"Reduced respawn times for smaller games."

This isn't in the pc version is it?
Is it coming? (just wondering)

You know, now that I think about it, with how badly we ripped Valve for promising a patch back in December and it not coming out for three months, I doubt they're going to announce a patch until it hits our XBOXes lest they get hounded again for months. Without any word, that would mean we won't know if there even is a patch.

Anyone else seeing this. When I host I can choose any number of players, all the options are there. But I know I can only host 8, 10 and 12. Also a friend of mine with a comparable connection speed can only host 8? Not sure if this part of the update is working as intended.

Also, was exactly is the weapons rumble?

So is it EA or MS holding back the maps being free, because I've always heard that MS doesn't like thing free on live to push it as a market place. As for EA, well have you seen the Need For Speed DLC, although they have been good for the Rock Band DLC
