I don’t know why, but I find it really amusing that articles about tf2 still use screenshots from the beta (iirc that muzzle flash particle effect on Heavy’s gun was only in TF2’s beta)
This always happens. The first pre-release screenshots are the ones with the most views so tend to appear at the top of Google searches. Guaranteeing them to be used in most news stories for years to come. Which gives them more views. Which gives them a higher Google rank. Etc…
Wild to know it was still running on 32 bit.

Worked fine but it took ages to load. Now is a way faster.
The only game I recall releasing a 64 bit executable in 2007 was Crysis.
well the transition to 64bit on games took a good while, and this game is almost two decades old
Guild wars 2 released 32bit on 2012 and 2016 they released 64 bit. Helped a ton for lower tier cpus.
Is THIS the heavy update? LoL
If yall don’t like TF2, you could always come back to Tean Fortress Classic.
I remember seeing this video about TF2. It was originally going to be less cartoony. I kinda wish they had kept going that realistic route.
If it did, it would have been forgotten like the dozens of other military shooters.
You didn’t get your fill of this game playing Gears of Halo: Modern Duty?
I was so hyped for TF2. By the time it was actually released I didn’t even play FPSs anymore.

In what state is the game nowadays? Is it just the veteran players and nothing else?
Depends on what mode you’re playing.
Primarily, there’s casual matchmaking, which actually is full of new players. Sadly, especially in off-hours, there’s also a lot of bots hosted by some mentally unstable script kiddies (no joke, they buy in a bot hosting framework and just pop that on a VPS somewhere) dedicated to ruining the game for everyone with aimbots, mic and chat spam etc. They abuse the fact that Valve hasn’t updated the anticheat in what feels like years. Regardless, there are still tons of healthy games to be found and bots usually are kicked within seconds.
Additionally, there are community servers which, depending on the actual community playing there, can have bonkers veterans or absolute noobs. These servers often are modded, too.
I’ve met one guy who took responsibility of crashing coordinator server and he was bragging about it before crashing clients of everyone who remained on the server. He was like “uh oh no more Le funny video game? Awww what a shame” I swear they’re all psychopaths.
My experience about a year ago. Try to hop into a game and find people complaining about bots and just vote kicking people constantly, then I got vote kicked. Join some more games that vary from people just standing around taunting, to more vote kicking, and everyone wearing stupid looking hats and shit. I used to love the game back in the day, but I gave up on it after a short time, it just felt unplayable.
Terry summed it up well.
I still have fun with it, plenty of full servers to be found.
So much for me expecting a CS2-style makeover to be released as TF3…
Lol
Awesome! Now update your anticheat
