As someone who bought a physical disc copy of The Orange Box on launch day, it…kinda slays me that TF2 is still running. It’s a very different game than it was in my day, and it is just wild hearing kids younger than the game talking about it. Gaming almost always moves on faster than this.
That launch day was amazing. We had a 2 day LAN party that weekend and played TF2 almost exclusively. This was with a group that had formed around TFC. Then about 6 years after launch I introduced my son to it and he became hooked and we played for years together. There’s a certain magic to all versions of TF that just doesn’t exist in other games.
(it’s probably the well balanced gameplay and dedicated servers)
This peak is obviously because of the update, but why is it keep getting more popular in general in the last 3 years? It was on downward trend before that. What changed?
You’re able to fuck around and get into shenanigans with taunts and stuff. It’s not all just competitive, so I think that giving the option to goof around is great!
Since the game doesnt take itself too seriously, it lends the opportunity to play however you want. It’s neat!
The art-style and character designs has also aged super well, too.
Team Fortress 2 not Titanfall 2.
Noted and changed, I am ashamed that I didn’t do that in the first place as a titanfall fan.
OMG TF2 is back? Did someone reboot the universe lately? Federated social media, old memes, TF2. Something is afoot.
I’ve always wondered if there was some weirdness going on with the player numbers. It felt like its been doing really well number-wise the past couple years despite being (relatively) abandoned by valve.
I remember seeing some people talk about that on the subreddit, but I don’t know what conclusion people arrived at. Are bots inflating that or is tf2 still really popular?
Lots of botting probably
Ik, my brother was playing it by himself all last night. Jokes aside I’m really glad, I’m gonna round up the crew and mvm
Is it actually playable now?
That explains why I still get random friend invites trying to buy my backpack/acct
Man I used to love TF2. Such a laugh and so many ways to play it. Mega chuffed it’s still going strong.
Whoa what’s happening with TF2?
There was an update
So guys, we did it
Love to see it.
Meanwhile Hotgarbage Infinite (halo) barely scrapes 38k
Man, if your attempt at a wordplay insult is so vague that you need to give away the meaning, you should probably go back to the drawing board.
Lmao
Not everyone plays xbox and would know it. I was just trying to be inclusive. My bad for that
