A few days ago a much-needed mysterious Orange Box patch was released via the Playstation network, but nobody knew what was changed. PS3Fanboy managed to get a hold of the changelog for Valve’s game compilation.
When The Orange Box was released a few weeks after the PC and Xbox 360 version of the game, it suffered from pretty bad frame drops. Unfortunately that hasn’t been fixed (yet), but there are quite a bit of improvements in the multiplayer portion of Team Fortress 2. Here is the full list of changes:
Fixed a graphical issue whereby a player would have the explosion effect left on the end of their Rocket Launcher when attempting to Rocket Jump.
Fixed a memory leak to improve single-player stability.
Fixed an issue whereby the players name would not appear on the Stats comparison screen.
We have fixed an issue that would cause the vote tallies to disappear when you viewed the scoreboard between rounds.
Fixed an online server issue.
Fixed an issue that caused a crash when a player that wasn’t in Division 1 entered your Leaderboards.
Fixed an issue with players not always being added to the ‘Players Met’ menu on the XMB.
Fixed a bug where a player viewing a friend without an EA account would have an empty entry in the friend’s Leaderboard.
Fixed an issue where it was not possible to connect to the EA servers if you had more than 30 friends.
Does this patch inspire you to give Team Fortress 2 another try?

So as you can see, the patch only affects TF2. Nothing for Half-lifes framerate issue's yet. Although, i havent bumped into any yet.
