There's (technically) 2 scout figurines in HL:A one at the beginning (RED) and one in a later chapter (I believe it was the zoo level) which has the (BLU) one hidden

[@arcturus64]

There's a dungeon crawler called dungeon of the endless where you can play as medic, Pyro, engineer and heavy. It also has items like the sandwich, tower of hats and the heavy's tutu.

deep rock galactic has various references to tf2, one off the top of my head is the "cheers mate" demo voiceline reference when about to take a drink of beer

1:05 I'm in a picture :0

[@Normally-YTP]

What the dinosaur?

[@jotaro-kujo-stoneOcean]

8:15 now put all games what have references to tf2 (difficulty: impossible)

[@-JohnDoe-]

Just giving a little shrug at the end was a hilarious touch in 3:55

[@naverick22]

There's a mobile game (with a pc port) called Battle Nations that did a collab with TF2 back in 2014, which came with a unique side story and essentially you get to unlock some of the TF2 characters once you complete the missions.

2:19 heavy was supposed to be in left for dead if i am remembering right but then was put in tf2 :P

[@CaptainCoolzCT-]

Plants VS. Zombies: Garden Warfare, a game which was inspired by TF2, features a map named "Cactus Canyon". Of course, TF2 has a map with the exact same name. The map is also visually much more TF2-esque than the other maps in the game.

In all my years playing New Vegas I never knew that there was a Team Fortress 2 reference in it

[@flynntaggart8549]

1:44 the text below mission failed also makes this a reference to team fabulous 2

[@bread6811]

This is so nice that TF2 as a greatest game is spread and referred to in many games it makes me smile :)

2:28 the tenth person could be saxton hale too

[@AlienFan25]

Wow that's awesome. Thanks for this. I really hope to check out some of these myself but I know some of them aren't here or aren't going to be here forever. I hope for in the future.

[@RomBoy1108]

Also in pixel gun 3d there is a yellow sticky bomb launcher called "Demoman"

[@DaWizardBoi]

you forgot team fortress 2! it has literally every reference you can think of

[@JunioCDMB]

7:04 idk what to say anymore

[@sckeeb2]

its small, but theres also Dungeon Defenders, which has Teamfortress 2 dlc for it only available on pc. Heavy, engineer, medic and pyro are little buddies that support your character.

[@AegisAuras]

The engineer in Deep Rock Galactic builds his turret by hitting it with a hammer.
