TF2 is a Timeless Masterpiece

These are my thoughts on how TF2 has captured me for 3200 hours. I really hope you enjoy it, and if you do, please like the video to show support. If it resonated with you, share it with a non-tf2 player to keep this amazing game going. Everyone deserves to play a bit of TF2 if you ask me
I now have a Patreon! / lazypurple
SMALL disclaimer that I couldn't really fit in the video: this video is not meant to bash heavy and pyro. I personally love using the flamethrower and minigun, but they are inherently less interactive than the rest of the weapons. Heavy and Pyro's playstyles have more to do with positioning than dueling. They just don't fit the theme I talk about in this video. However, it should be noted that Pyro and Heavy did launch with shotguns as secondaries, so you could argue that they have always lowkey had a single-fire weapon as part of their kit
Also, I play on a lot of no-crit servers lol, random crits can mess up what I talk about in this video.

I feel like they could find a way, especially now that Half life Alyx is out and many of valve's developers are since freed to add ways to incorporate the soundtrack beyond just the bootup screen and match victory/ loss moments, because think how much cooler the game would be if like minecraft, the soundtrack responded in real time, so maybe a spy gets a god like killstreak and you hear "right behind you" slowly fade in.

I got to know TF2 in September 2020, I wanted to play my first older F2P PC game, and it was TF2. What I didn't expect after playing Team Fortress 2, was what I was playing was a magnificent experience, after that I started watching the Meet the Team videos to get to know the classes, then I started exploring the Team Fortress Universe, I started playing the Mods(Pre-Fortress 2, Team Fortress 2 Classic and Open Fortress). You're right, 9 classes easy to understand, based on ways to attack opponents, Team Fortress 2 (2007) is TIMELESS, inspiring 3D cartoon games like Overwatch (2016) and popularizing the Heroshooter genre (each character with a specific ability and teamwork to get what you want).

The year is 2022 and a name is whispered amid the halls of gaming communities everywhere. “Abandoned…old…dead” they say. Yet others have never heard of it; being too young to remember the time when it stood at the peak. It is a game out of place, a glimpse into an older era, a relic of its time. In an era of rushed development and yearly releases, of battle royales, and of esports it still reigns as the king of its genre. A game that took nine long years to make and one that will take much longer to die. Other games tried to dislodge it, cheaters and bot swarmers tried to kill it, and even its creators barely acknowledge it anymore. It has been 1,548 days since the last major update; over four years of small bug fixes and hat updates. Yet the community stands strong. The player count has reached all time highs. The bots reduced to a nuisance instead of the omnipresent threat they were before. The game lives and it will continue to live. Because Team Fortress 2 is truly a timeless masterpiece.

[@BeanieGoth]

Fun fact, I got into TF2 by a school friend telling me about it. I got on Steam, which I had gotten for the sole purpose of Undertale, and he told me to join his stream. I join, and you know what the first thing I heard was? The very first thing I heard out of TF2 was Soldier yelling “GET. ON. THE. POINT. NUMBNUTS!”. That alone dragged me in, and I’ve been playing for a solid two years now. So thanks, TF2, for giving me the best two years of my life.

It's so strange that after almost 14 years, this game still has a strong community. Just yesterday, I was playing a normal casual game and a heavy on the other team was doing the conga all alone. So I joined him. Then someone else did. Then another. Then another. And before I knew it, about 10 other players were doing the conga with us. Then we all stood around one of the statues dedicated to Rick May and paid our respects. I sat playing the bongos while others saluted. I have no doubt that this community will get through the current bot situation and come out strong.

The extensive voice lines are great too. During payload matches, Heavy may say “We must push tiny cart.” while scouts voice-line is more to the effect of “Yo guys, the payload is stuck. I love how they say the same things in very different ways. They even have multiple voicelines for when each Character yells “MEDIC!” not just the same voiceline every time. It’s great.

This is related to character design. Each of the classes must look, sound and feel unique in every way possible. Thus, their appearances were designed specifically to have different silhouettes, postures, animations and stand-out features (Engineer is missing a bright glove, Pyro has two dark gloves). Players must be able to immediately identify everything in less than a second, from looking and listening.
