In addition to that mind-blowing stat, as of the October 1st update titled “Scream Fortress XII”, 49 of those 703 are considered ‘major updates’, by which a significant portion of content has been added, patched, or otherwise changed. Simply being able to string that sentence together with any semblance of realism should invoke nothing short of awe and adulation for all involved.

Since its release in 2007, Team Fortress 2 has been updated 703 times at the time of writing.

The sheer number of animated shorts, memes, and overall love that has been dedicated to one of modern gaming’s masterpieces simply cannot be replicated, and most likely will never be replicated again. A quick Google search will reveal it all. After all, the sheer amount of impact TF2 has left on modern gaming culture cannot be understated in any capacity. But TF2’s community has proven that, if nothing else, they’re extremely stubborn, and they weren’t going to let the game they’ve treasured go quietly. Some would place the blame on many things, such as the game naturally outstaying it’s welcome, akin to many games just like it, such as the numerous entries in the Call of Duty, FIFA and Madden franchises, with many others not far behind. A glance at the player counts over the years shows an ugly truth, that TF2 has had its brutal share of low player counts. So how has TF2 found continued success in a gaming environment that has become increasingly difficult to thrive in? Well…at times, it hasn’t. However, a game can only be a success if the player base allows it. This allows for each player to make each individual class their own, almost like they reflect their own mannerisms as a person onto the character in the game. Is the Sniper class too comedic for your tastes? Well, the Anger hat is for you! Is the big, lumbering Heavy too in your face? Well, slap on the Chicken Kiev hat and revel in the silliness of it all! The sheer amount of customisation present in this game allows for each player to properly distinguish themselves on the battlefield, no matter what role they try to fill, serious or silly.

And even when the base character doesn’t suit you, the multitude of hats, cosmetics and taunts can easily patch those holes. Whether it’s the cocky, loud, and mobile Scout, the reserved and calculated Spy, or the mute and brooding Pyro, there’s somebody for everybody. With nine unique classes to play, all of them brimming with character, there will always be one character that a new player can instantly look at and say “hey, this guy is cool, I wanna play as him”. Of course, this endurance would’ve faltered long ago if not for the sheer amount of personality stuffed into this game. Either the team regroup and act like nothing happened, or somebody decides to go into the team voice chat and point fingers, only for somebody to do it back ,and then you all collectively get nothing done aside from incessant screeching, and then you’ve lost the match. Then the game devolves into one of two paths. All because each player was so hyper-focused on the point that you all collectively forgot to watch your flank. Feeling the pure rush of accomplishment and success…only to have a rogue Spy backstab each and every one of you, essentially crippling your team’s firepower for a whole minute.

Although in some cases, the aforementioned unholy chaos can result in some somewhat questionable results.įor example, imagine co-ordinating a push with your entire team to capture the first objective, with all the bells and whistles of a team effort. The way TF2’s unique classes blend together to create the perfect blend of unholy chaos is nothing short of magical. To many, the gameplay of TF2 appears incredibly simplistic, almost to compliment the goofy and simplistic visual design, but any player with any significant amount of play time will know that this game has so many hidden layers, mechanics, tips and tricks to make even the most seasoned players confused from time to time.
