Team Fortress 2 Will NOT Have PC/360 Interplay

by JW

Remember a month or so back how Valve was kind of bragging about how they able to get interplay features working that allowed both PC and Xbox 360 owners to play in the same match? Well, turns out Valve won’t be having this feature in the final release of the game because, according to Greg Lombardi, it’s more trouble than it’s worth. From the Shacknews Preview:

In Valve’s offices, team members regularly play cross-platform multiplayer games, but the studio’s Doug Lombardi noted emphatically that such functionality will not appear in the final versions. He explained that it introduces more problems than it is worth, and if Valve ever decides to go that route it would be in a game designed for it from the start.

Well, doesn’t that suck? You know it does. But it’s still Team Fortress, and it will still rock, so no worries.
