Review “Team Fortress 2” – “How does it play in 2024-2025?” [quote=Internet Meme]“Microsoft returned to Steam. Ubisoft returned to Steam. EA returned to Steam. Activision came to Steam. Overwatch is dying. Valve does nothing and always wins.” “About the Game” -“ Team Fortress 2 was released in 2007. At the time of my review, the game is 17 years old. It’s a class-based team shooter featuring different game modes: payload, capture the flag, king of the hill, point capture, competitive mode, and notably ‘MANN vs. MACHINE.’” “What’s amazing is that, even today, I still want to play this game despite it being 17 years old . For some reason, it creates a friendly atmosphere, even though its gameplay demands practice and skill. Surprisingly, as a gamer seeking relaxation, I wasn’t discouraged by the skill requirements.” “I first discovered this game in my childhood through YouTube videos like ‘Meet the Team.’ The animated shorts for this game were and remain the best.” “I also want to mention that the game is still alive thanks to the community. I think everyone has seen memes featuring characters or music from ‘Team Fortress 2.’ ” @Popular meme with characters from Team Fortress@ https://youtu.be/OXzMdhtzhbc?si=Edd_Mizr7-v3mAuP “To this day, a large number of fan-made videos featuring the game’s characters are being created and will continue to be.” “ ‘Team Fortress’ , specifically ‘Team Fortress Classic,’ was one of the first class-based shooters to introduce the concept of character classes and unique abilities. Of course, ‘Team Fortress Classic’ was a mod for ‘Quake.’ While it had classes, their gameplay was quite similar, and everyone carried the same weapon set. It was in ‘Team Fortress 2’ that this genre fully developed. Without it, many modern games wouldn’t exist.” “Since I mentioned that it’s a class-based shooter requiring skill, let me explain the classes you can choose from.” “Meet the Team” [*] “Scout” [quote=Scout]“Um... I don't even know where to start with you. I mean, do you even know who you're talkin' to? D-Do you have any idea, any idea who I am? Oh man, that's beautiful. Heh. Ya' listenin'? OK. Grass grows, birds fly, sun shines, and brotha I hurt people. BOINK! I'm a Force-A-Nature! If you were from where I was from, you'd be dead!” https://youtu.be/geNMz0J9TEQ?si=PH3Ki-55mob0kj2O The Scout excels at completing objectives quickly. He can capture control points and push carts at twice the rate of other classes. Only the Scout has this ability naturally; the Demoman and Soldier share it only with the Pain Train equipped. His speed also makes him ideal for grabbing intelligence briefcases. [*] “Soldier” [quote=Soldier]“If fighting is sure to result in victory, then you must fight! Sun Tzu said that, and I'd say he knows a little more about fighting than you do, pal, because he invented it, and then he perfected it so that no living man could best him in the ring of honor.” https://youtu.be/h42d0WHRSck?si=hVYwPjsB_cpmNsO2 The Soldier is a crazed, patriotic warrior from the American Midwest. Tough and well-armed, he’s versatile and a great class for beginners. [*] “Pyro” [quote=Pyro]“In the video, it shows that Pyro is insanely insane. While burning a town, they imagine blowing rainbows and growing flowers (burning buildings), blowing bubbles (shooting a flare at a Scout), giving out giant lollipops (swinging an axe), and wrapping presents (trapping a Medic in a barn and setting it ablaze). Pyroland is their delusional utopia.” The Pyro is a mysterious pyromaniac who views their fiery destruction through a whimsical lens, as shown in Meet the Pyro. [*] “Demoman” [quote=Demoman]“Prancin' aboot with your heads full of eyeballs! Come and get me I say! I'll be waiting on ya with a whiff of the 'ol brimstone. I'm a grim bloody fable... with an unhappy bloody end!” https://youtu.be/han3AfjH210?si=3x3GFy0bLd6JbAxi The Demoman is a master of explosives and an essential force in any team. [*] “Heavy” [quote=Heavy]“Some people think they can outsmart me. Maybe, maybe. I have yet to meet one that can outsmart bullet.” https://youtu.be/jHgZh4GV9G0?si=zmYS-XqOVoodU63l The Heavy is the team’s powerhouse, capable of dishing out massive damage. [*] “Engineer” [quote=Engineer]“...use a gun. And if that don't work... use more gun.” https://youtu.be/SNgNBsCI4EA?si=BlT5oMdsdcDI97ZL The Engineer supports the team with strategic builds, from turrets to teleporters. [*] “Medic” [quote=Medic]“Anyway, that's how I lost my medical license, heh.” The Medic heals and buffs teammates, keeping the team in combat longer. https://youtu.be/36lSzUMBJnc?si=Ri4R_jYcKSfKkgni [*] “Sniper” [quote=Sniper]“Be polite. Be efficient. Have a plan to kill everyone you meet.” https://youtu.be/9NZDwZbyDus?si=ZlhATG506RaV70zN The Sniper is a sharpshooter who specializes in long-range takedowns. [*] “Spy” [quote=Spy] Spy: “If you managed to kill them, I assure you, they were not like me. Nothing like the man loose inside this building.” Scout: “What're you? President of his fan club?” Spy: “No... that would be your mother!” https://youtu.be/OR4N5OhcY9s?si=Kv6_-Zd341zYJdfl The Spy relies on stealth, cloaking, and deception, making him one of the game’s most unique classes. “Conclusion” “Now that you know a bit about the characters, you’re ready to jump into battle if you’ve never played ‘Team Fortress 2’ before. And if you forgot, consider this a reminder of how cool these characters are. We welcome you back to the game. There was a time when cheaters were rampant, but now their numbers have dropped significantly. Just in the first match, I witnessed 15 players receive VAC bans. Despite the lack of recent updates, making it seem like the game is dead, the community has kept it alive. It’s only thanks to you that the game still exists and thrives.”

4 thousand hours sunk into it. Its a great game and i wish i could have experienced it around 2009 to 2015 at its golden age. It may not be the golden age but i will still be playing as long as the servers are open. 20 anniversary is approaching and i cannot wait to see what they come up with.

I'm an old player. I've played for around 1000 hours since 2016. Im not that old but i have very fond memories of TF2. I was very young back then. Valve has made something unique, something that is almost akin to a rite of passage for a proper gamer. It's one of the few games that still lets you do almost anything you want, for better or for worse. I am so happy and proud to have been part of the community. It's the most dedicated one i have ever witnessed, most likely on par with the communities of Lord of the Rings and the like. Valve used to care about the game, and Gaben himself did, once. Even if they don't now, you can see it in it's soul that it has love baked into the code itself. Play tf2. And you wont be able to play anything else for a while. For me, it was 7 years until i was done. But the youtube videos, the sfms, the "meet the team".... THEY show what tf2 is about. The community. I personally seriously got into tf2 when i saw meet the pyro, late 2015.
