This video was a doozy to make, crunched out in just 4 days, so if you find any mistakes or anything similar, that's probably why.

Tf2 does have a lot of detail for 2007. The animated art style was a masterstroke which prevented the game from looking dated without direct graphical upgrades.

@@damsen978I disagree, it doesn’t look modern but I think it’s aged well. As I’ve tried more and more FPS games over the years my appreciation for tf2’s aesthetic and gameplay only grows and now that we can access higher res textures using commands and most of us have machines that can easily max out the settings at high fps it looks quite a bit better than it used to. I wouldn’t be surprised if I’m still playing 16 years from now.

Flashy, stupid cosmetics for ridiculous prices are present there too, but it breaks the tacticool atmosphere extremely badly; All you're left with is what looks like a photoshop collage, and half the time you don't even look at or register the details anyway. TF2 looks better thanks to the timeless artstyle, and gives better readability overall. Plus, you can just turn off hats with console commands. Can't do that in literally any other game with obnoxious cosmetics.

What I like about tf2 is how it seems simple on the surface, but each class has a high skill ceiling with complex mechanics you can learn and utilize for each class

@SnackPatrol 5 ай бұрын

@@NicoTheCheese I agree. And an absolute ton of weapons that add to that skill ceiling. I don't think it gets enough credit either for how (generally) well-balanced the classes are compared to other games. The entirety of WoW's career and OW's for example are plagued with users (rightly) complaining about horrible balance issues. One class/hero always seems to be severly OP or UP in those games. I've heard minor gripes every now and then with TF2 but think the game is generally well-balanced. EDIT: Also just realized who you were. Been playing since Beta '07 and that entire time never gained an interest in TF2 KZfaqrs for whatever reason till recently stumbling upon you and a few others. Keep up the good work man!

Despite the visceral deep-seated hatred I have for what they did to the artstyle, which I have learned to tolerate through simply becoming jaded in general, it is still a very fun game that we're lucky enough to still have updates for. They need to fix the bot issue though, it's embarassing & unacceptable.

Ignoring all of today's toxicity, TF2 definitely holds up as one of the best shooters to this day. It has a variety of weapons and playstyles, has 9 different classes all with each unique functions, and great maps to boot with very few bad ones. Wanna play an axe-wielding, drunken demolitions man? Wanna play as a knockback-inducing fast boy? You can do that. TF2 is a great game, but my only con about it is the fandom. At least, today's fandom.

seeing new players enjoy the game is probably my favourite thing about tf2, i can't go back to feeling how i did when i was new, so it's really nice seeing other people feel that way. there's not really anybody to blame, but i miss when the game was younger and everybody was enjoying it more. all the experienced players now was bound to happen eventually. i'm just happy the game is as massive as it is now, i prefer tf2 like this over no tf2 at all

It feels really weird that my by far favourite game is only 1 month younger than me

bro i remember it like its was yesterday, it was almost my birthday and i wanted team fortress 2 for my birthday, then my dad looked up the game and saw it was for pc, i had like 7 or 8 yeas, i think the year was 2016 or 2017, then in 2020 i got the orange box version, in the start of 2022, i finally got to play the real pc version, and ive fell in love with this game since 2017, and before, with all that goofy animations.

I bought the orange box in high school. Played off and on through the years but now find it more fun than any of the new battle royale or teambased shooters. Is great to be able to jump half way across a map and shovel slap ppl.
