They WILL eventually come over. I'm simply asking if anyone has heard anything.

It would have to be completely re-invented. For the 360 you would have to add on like a total of 300 achievements, thats at a atleast 2500 gamer points. The complete maxium is 1250. Or if they created achievements which don't give Gamer Points, that completely re-invented the achievement system on 360.
As for the maps probably though. A map pack will be made but I have doubts about it being free, which Valve don't want to do, meaning they might not ever do it.

Back up your statement with evidence or don't say such things. Valve has never said that it WON'T be coming to 360.

I just did back it up...
Adding the current weapon system to the 360 will completely re-write the achievement system on the 360 or it will overule the current Gamerscore limit of 1250 to around 3000, which is plain stupid.
The map pack may be released, but it won't be free and Valve don't want to send out the other maps if people are going to have to pay for them. And Microsoft are not willing to put the map pack on the Marketplace for free.
Unless Valve completely change the way the Weapons are given out I can't see the new updates coming to Consoles. And if Microsoft have a problem with Free-be map packs then they may never get them. Sony on the other hand just might...
It is easy to overule Achievement limits on Steam, because Valve own it and the achievements are actually based around games in the orange box so they are designed to be updated very easily. Xbox Live and Playstation Network are not owned by Valve and must go through alot more bother just for a simple map pack.

Yeah that article is somewhat old, but it gives us some hope.

Maybe they will just give the weapons and no achievements. Or have you ever played CoD4 on 360? They have hundreds of those challenge things that unlock shit for you.

Talk to EA, they work on the updates for that, not Valve.

I do actually own the Orange Box on the 360 and the PC
But I just highly doubt either of these updates, considering that the console versions have had a total of around 4 updates when the PC has had like 65 or something.
Xbox Live Marketplace doesnt even get Meet the ***** Videos anymore...
Latest one is still Demoman.

Just because the levels of achievements don't match up with what is feasible with gamerpoints etc on the 360 doesn't mean Valve won't move the goal posts. They might give each class 15 achievements, each 5 opening a new weapon for example. That isn't a reason why the 360 will never get these updates.
It's logical for us to assume that they will only come to 360 once Valve have completed adding all the classes modifications, and when they are happy the map pack is robust enough for TF2 to thrive upon. I'm sure they'll release something on the market place, but don't hold your breath...
