On Saturday the newest patch for Team Fortress 2 for the 360 came out. After spending a couple hours on it today, I realized that I hadn't lagged out of any games! TF2 does a bandwidth test now and limits how many players a server can allow. If you are hosting on your crappy cable/dsl connection, then you are only allow to do 8 people max. People with fatter connections are able to host up to 16 still. People aren't allowed to try to host a 16 player match on their crap 256k/up connection anymore! Woot!
Now would be a great time to get back into the game if you had given up on it!
A bit of trivia: I installed a new firmware on my router earlier that has bandwidth monitoring. Looking through it's logs, it takes about 200kbps upload to host an 8 player game. Just thought that was interesting. :)
