I love team fortress 2 and definitely can't wait to test this new update out. Playing 16 player matches always resulted in lag, and searching for matches usually caused my 360 to crash 50% of the time. The only way I was able to play with no problems was to host every match myself and make them 12 player matches instead of 16.

I have that guy on ignore because he is a stupid ps3 fanboy, but for once he's actually right. if you want to play tf2 online, you want the orange box for pc.

24 player dedicated servers hosted by ISPs = very little lag.
16 player games hosted on peoples inadequate home connections = lag.

for whatever reason MS isnt allowing 360 compatible dedicated servers so you end up being at the mercy of other peoples shitty connections.

If you pick "green" pings lag is close to nonexistant.
