As much as I loved the Orange Box on the Xbox 360, one of the best parts of it STILL remains unplayable.

I’m talking of course about Team Fortress 2, or as I like to call it, Frustration Fortress 2.

Read why it makes me want to hurt people after the break!


The lag doesn’t just make you a little jumpy, it can bring your character to a complete stop. This crippling issue continues to ruin what is in every other aspect, an extremely fun multiplayer game.

So, you could still play 4 on 4 with no problems, so what?! It’s called TEAM fortress. It’s designed for you to really have 8 on 8 TEAMS who all work together for the fun to really begin.

Come on Valve, the PC version runs 16 on 16 flawlessly, so what happened?! They released one patch on Xbox Live a few months ago, and now another is imminent. After that, the problem will hopefully be fixed completely.

However, for many gamers it’s already too little too late.

TF2 had a window of opportunity to really grab and engage 360 owners, and now they’ve all moved on to other shooters like COD4.

That’s why the Frustration Fort… I mean Team Fortress 2’s Lag issues clocks in at #17 on the Sarcastic Gamer Top 100 Gaming Moments of 2007.

TF2,one of the only games that works better on the PC(probebly because its not a port for once).

I'd rather have a mouse and keyboard then a joypad any day, much easier to play.

Hopefully Valve has not given up on TF2 for the 360. I haven't tried it in awhile because even after the last patch I still had issues on every game a tried. I'd like to see another patch and new maps to entice players to give it another chance.
