@leemajors: any FPS on a controller = no thanks! :P
Yeah, why are you hating on us PC types? Come on now I'm not buying a 360 till next week. You gotta do a PC match but I'll tell you what you get enough people I will host the TF2 server for you. I run one for the XBOX 360 peeps so I'll lock it exclusive for the Giz. Let me know, you have my email.

....now that you mention it ...I DO see a pattern!!
:P
P.S. I dont even have TF2 yet but i'll still take any halo challenge. And I'll OWN anyone who cares to play puzzle fighter.
Spy sappin my sentry!
xbox360? weak sauce!
go PC!
xD
I'm glad you guys can play. I got it for PC and it doesn't work... crashes every time. But that won't happen on your 360's, so whoop Kotaku's backsides.
But yeah, why not on the PC anyway? Mouse + keyboard control + FPS = awesome. Not so much though with a console controller... not really suited for FPS games.
Anyhow, good luck Giz.
cutie boy adam frucci haha!

I'm sticking to Enemy Territory QUAKE Wars on my PC, thanks.
Yeah, I've played both versions and the PC one is just a lot better. Nothing against my 360 peeps, but TF2 is just better on Steam.
rowan of rohan, I'll play. I'm pretty terrible at TF2, but if you guys want to get together and play more Halo3, I'll be there for that. Well, I'd be there for either, but don't expect much with TF2. Yeah, that's it.
"I broke your stupid crap"
TF2 for PC > TF for Console
I'll be in if you guys do PC. count me in

I was excited until I saw the Xbox part. I have played both and the PC side is definitely much better. I can always find 32player matches with little lag, but the few times I tried on the Xbox all I could find were 6 player rooms that were LAAAGGGTASTIC!

Just let me know when and I'll try to be on.

GT: Shalto
thats SHALTO not SHAITO
Lets do a PC match too! GHETTO.CHILD offered to host, and if its on a decent server that would be sweettastic.
I'll post my Steam ID later when i get home so we can start a gizmodo TF2 group (not clan, just fellow readers havin fun)

See you guys around!

@foureight84:
I dont see a pattern.
TF2 on a console is like buying a ferrari 430 scuderia and driving it only on a deeply rutted dirt road.
Hey you guys who have PCs and play TF2, anyone interested in getting the award where you play with 8 people on your friends list?
I'd rather play it on PC! Sorry!
YOU PEOPLE WHINE LIKE LITTLE GIRLS! Why even post if all you're going to say is "Waaaaah I wanna play on my Pee Cee! Waaaaah!". You weren't asked to comment so don't bother.
Also,

@thepounder: If TF2 is crashing why dont you: 1. Turn down your video settings. 2. Update your video drivers if one of those don't fix it then you're screwed.
Oh server stats:
MSI K8 Neo Motherboard
AMD 64 +3400 1.86Ghz
2GB DDR 400 PC3200
10/100/1000 NIC
Just enough power for a nice TF2 server. :)
I would love to play, my live gamer tag is the same as my giz/kotaku username - Seiven
@GHETTO.CHiLD: Thank you. Unfortunately for me, even though my Lappy fits well within the given specs to run the likes of TF2 it has become apparent that my video card does not play nice with the Source Engine. There's an ongoing discussion on the SteamPowered forums that's almost 200 pages now about the hl2.exe crashing right as the "loading" screen is finishing up.
I even tried the driver update suggestion, as well as various startup mods like the "-dxlevel 81" and various screen sizes. Still no love... I shall just wait to play it till I get home and get my new PC. Thanks again though.
Now I envy that y'all are going to get together and do some organized butt-whoopin.I should maybe get a 360.
well what about PC - good old PC -> anyways HIT ME UP on there.. I am a active person on the Team Fotress 2 fort.com website -> go by Z3r0 !!
No PC = no me.
FPS on a console? Count me OUT.
I am a PC gamer and wish to register my interest in playing against other said pc gamers... My name on steam is "Simon_Tam"
I created a Steam group for Gizmodo

Its bed time, but when i have some more free time I will fix it up, maybe we can get something together

Right on ! --> GT: KristoffDominus
Giz, Halo is pretty much the ONLY acceptable FPS on a console, and that's a fluke. Released only for XBOX and adored by hundreds of thousands of grunting frat kids, Halo is the exception, not an example.
Every other FPS needs a keyboard and a mouse, and thus a desk, and therefore an actual chair. An FPS on the couch with two nipple-sticks for all orientation is like sex in the shower.
Great in theory, extremely awkward and unrewarding in practice.
Switch to PCs. If Jobs will lets you.
Sounds like fun.

I'd rather play tf2 on the PC, because im pretty bad with a controller.
I would be very interested in playing. I play primarily as an Engineer (very good at defending sentries from spies), but I will be whatever my team needs at that point.

I usually host a 16 player games with little to no lag in the evenings (EST). Jump in...
I LOVE TF2!! Would have to be PC though.
GT = highfloydelity
Also playing COD:4!!

Been playing TF since before TFC. Add me in. Demo/Medic FTW.
TF2 PC FTW.
Consoles. Bleh. :P
PC users should join the Gizmodo Steam group
