A couple of weeks ago when the PC and 360 versions of Team Fortress 2 were patched, we wondered aloud where the PlayStation 3 patch was. That was answered today as a new software update went up on the PlayStation Network to address PS3-specific issues of the game, similar to how the 360's patch tried to relieve the ailing lag problems.

Though there is a fix for the memory "to improve single player stability" in the Orange Box, most of the tweaks are for Team Fortress 2. Specifically addressed problems include a graphical glitch leaving an explosion effect after a rocket jump, player names not appearing on the stats screen, vote tallies disappearing between rounds, and some issues with the EA leaderboards and servers. It also fixed some minor crashing problems and an occasional issue with seeing the "Players Met" on the XMB.

All in all, nothing major was added, but these tweaks allow the game to run a bit smoother on the PS3. Now if we can just get some of that free DLC, that'd be the icing on the cake.
 
This is what we were worried about... companies dropping games out before they were fixed. It is good they are fixing the game, but still... It would be nice if this was done before hand.

And... I just noticed this... WHY IS EA THE PUBLISHER OF THE ORANGE BOX! What, did Valve/Sierra quit publishing their games and these games are going to reside under EA?

Maybe I missed this... but why EA?!

Awesome that they got a patch to fix it up. So that's what it did after all. I'll be picking up the Orange Box very soon for the PS3 then. :)
 
I will be getting it for the PC in Summer (when I have a new PC build, and the price goes down). The price will go down on this game for the PC faster than the consoles. It's been tough for me to drop $60 on a game. Even with Reward Zone coupons... It's still almost $60 after tax.

I will be getting Unreal Tourney 3 for the Ps3 soon though.

I wonder why Team Fortress 2 was so glitchy in the first place. Although lag could be pretty bad on the 360 version as well.

I'm as surprised as you, tbh. But I'm pretty sure this is just a one time thing, thank god.
 
Not gunna lie. Textures on 360 are horrible.

And Valve does the developing still but, they had a team from EA do the PS3 version of TF2 so that may have been the main reason.
