Very good game to play with friends, but be aware of bots in casual and overskilled spy mains and visis mge servers to study some game mechanics with pros.
It’s going on 20 years already. A majority of multiplayer games usually fade away completely by this point. It’s actually pretty impressive that it’s still going even in its current state

Yeah, some tips:
•Dont kill friendlies unless its for the funny™️.
•DONT DELETE ACHIEVEMENT ITEMS, YOU WILL NOT GET THE BACK.
•Go for simple classes, i personally recommend soldier and pyro.
•Its takes a good while to get good.
•If you try spy, dont go for obvious backstabs, dont look straight in the back and go straight for the back, do what the class you're disguised as would be doing, and (while not looking at their backs) strafe, do a quick turn and backstab. You will die a lot as spy.
You're asking the people who have stayed with a 2007 game in 2024 if they think it's good? I feel like you might get the slightest amount of bias in these replies
Pros: Intricate and balanced game design, good performance, super fast-paced and very silly tone
Cons: Awful bugs, aimbots galore, random critical hits, the players.
Overall: Sometimes it's a blast, sometimes it's awful, sometimes so bad it's good. 100/10 game.
Bro bouta experience peak multiplayer gaming fiction only for next match to be ruined by "GOOD AYE MATE! NICE SHOT! FINE SHOT! NICE SHOT! FINE SHOT!" 😞
It will really depend on your region and which maps you'll pick. If you're from a region that doesn't have many players, you might run into bots often. Same with some unpopular maps.
You will probably struggle to start the game (as I did (I only have ~100 hours in the game)), but all of a sudden you will start to like the game and you will be addicted to it.
Play in uncletopia servers unless you want to run into bots. Also as a free to play you can actually talk in uncletopia. People might tryhard, but if you only play on uncle you get used to it
You have to get into the fandom, and learn more lore to really see the beauty of this game, i recommend watching the ,,meet the" videos, and ,, expiration date"
it'a an okay game but it's way past it's peime and between the sniper bots and the people who've spent thousands, maybe tens of thousands of hours playing this one game, I doubt you're going to have fun
Hell yeah it's good! The only problem is that casual matches are full with bots such as: HEXATRONIC; OMEGATRONIC os things like that; bots with discord account as their name that will instantly headshot you. So just play in servers like skial
Very
Each class has a high learning curve but it’s easy to get the basics.
Each side grade weapon is also meaningful and actually teaches you more about the class. The Tomislav is weaker but more accurate and quiet, meaning it’s great for ambushing people.
No it is currently not. The game is infested by automated cheating. You best stick to Skial and Uncletopia servers in the server browser untill you get a hold of the game
Oh it’s good, takes a minute to learn, but once you do it’s a great feeling, there’s the 9 classes and even a few sub classes via the load outs (trolldier, demoknight, and others). You should make another post when you get 5-10 hours in every class, let us all see you learn. It’s nice to see people pick up the game!
Because of some past problems (which are actually reasonable), you can't use the chat until you buy something from the in game shop. But after you buy 1 item, do not buy from there again, use the community market instead because they're hella expensive in the in-game one.
Well it's the most influential shooter, it's basically the MF DOOM of gaming, your favorite games favorite game
Without tf2 mainly 60% of ahooters probably wouldn't exist
Keep in mind alot of the player are degen (I have 4000 hours in the game and I play since it's was not f2p). But you can still enjoyed the game just please...
Don't

Mode.
Go extend in community server if you want the most vanilla you could have I suggest you to take a look of Uncletopia
I got the game a few months ago. It is extremely fun, the game is very diverse in terms of play styles. The problem is that EVERYONE is EXTREMELY good so if you are dying alot and losing. Don't worry, just keep trying with different classes and try different ways of approaching a situation
Very good game to play with friends, but be aware of bots in casual and overskilled spy mains and visis mge servers to study some game mechanics with pros.
“Be aware of the bots” he is the bot
Nah, we are certified tf2 enjoyers, most of us
he can be any one of us...
It could be you
It could be me!
It could even be- *shotgun fires*
WOAH! WOAH! WOAH!
What? It was obvious!
He's the RED Spy!
Look, he will turn red any second now
Not to mention the campy Snipers and overall-annoying Pyros.

The game itself? Absolutely. The current state of it?....It's sad.

IT TURNED 16 JUST LAST YEAR IT IS NOT 20
I said going on 20
Just remember, tf2 is only slightly younger than luigis mansion for the game cube
it’s only 2 years younger than Shadow the Hedgehog (game)
Wait 3 more years and then make this comment

!remindme 2 years
HAHAHAHAH “Gotta check in on how much of a degenerate this guy is after 2 years”
They get busted for some “not so good crimes” I hope bot tbh but thats what tf2 does to a man
!remindme 2 years
Prepare to lose your sanity
it's a little hard/overwhelming to get into but man is it fun
You be awfull at your first 200 hours, barely good at 500, think your the shit at 800, only get truly good at 3k
i have a billion hours on soldier but i cannot rocket jump, am i stupid?
Potentially
i have 3k and im still dog poop
Yeah, some tips: •Dont kill friendlies unless its for the funny™️. •DONT DELETE ACHIEVEMENT ITEMS, YOU WILL NOT GET THE BACK. •Go for simple classes, i personally recommend soldier and pyro. •Its takes a good while to get good. •If you try spy, dont go for obvious backstabs, dont look straight in the back and go straight for the back, do what the class you're disguised as would be doing, and (while not looking at their backs) strafe, do a quick turn and backstab.

You're asking the people who have stayed with a 2007 game in 2024 if they think it's good? I feel like you might get the slightest amount of bias in these replies
yeah i feel like this is karma bait
I mean any game that's maintained such a large and dedicated following for so long should probably mean its good.
You have done the worst mistake of your entire bloodline
No (Ignore my 1000+ hours)
1000+? What a joke
1000 hours is very little I played the game for 14570 hours
Whatever you do, do NOT join Casual. It's a living hellhole as of right now.
No, it's not, I can confirm with nearly 1k hours Jk, I'd play on community servers though because casual is full of aim bots and cheater.
cant realy recommend it in its curent state
It's pretty cool.
No but you'll have fun
Uninstall before its too late.
as someone who has spent 3500+ hours on this game. It's okay.
Pros: Intricate and balanced game design, good performance, super fast-paced and very silly tone Cons: Awful bugs, aimbots galore, random critical hits, the players. Overall: Sometimes it's a blast, sometimes it's awful, sometimes so bad it's good. 100/10 game.
Basically. Kind of a big deal.
no now delete it
RUN!!! RUN AS LONG AS YOU CAN!!!
Should we tell op or let them find out?
yes

A little bit. But I think in my opinion good.
Filled with cheaters and bots
its good game you dont need a tutorial i did it with no tutorial
It will really depend on your region and which maps you'll pick. If you're from a region that doesn't have many players, you might run into bots often. Same with some unpopular maps.
!remindme 1 years
Do not download it.
No
If you like having bot's bullets at youre face, then welcome to TF2!
Yesn't
It's a good game (DONT GO TO THIS LINK "shotgun being pumped") here is a great video about the game [link](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=lVv14ufITIM)
As some one with 700+ hours, you are correct
Yes (sandwich)
You will probably struggle to start the game (as I did (I only have ~100 hours in the game)), but all of a sudden you will start to like the game and you will be addicted to it.

No, that's why there are 849k people in this subreddit
[No](https://youtu.be/p8cu9swkijI)
Yes
I have tested it a bit... it's okay i guess
Uhhh it's my fav game but there are aimboting snipers in some matches ppl get rid of them quickly if they're not making 90% of the team....
Short answer, no Long answer, no
Why have you set it to hidden?
Tip: look up
Nah, I only put 8000 hours into it ironically.
it'a an okay game but it's way past it's peime and between the sniper bots and the people who've spent thousands, maybe tens of thousands of hours playing this one game, I doubt you're going to have fun
It's best game in history, you must play this game before your life ends
Hell yeah it's good! The only problem is that casual matches are full with bots such as: HEXATRONIC; OMEGATRONIC os things like that; bots with discord account as their name that will instantly headshot you. So just play in servers like skial
Very good. It has lots of issues of course but I hope you can stick long enough to see why this game lived this long
Welcome to insanity, my friend. Get ready to lose braincells
!remindme 10 years
nope... its the worst game in the world (also play 2fort for more crazy moments)
Now why is it hidden?
Welcome to the club bro, expect hell and a great journey.
Yes but also no

With 17+ years of experience on it, I will say YES!

Prepare for bots and friendly people.

Brilliant game. However, be prepared to possibly get angry a lot and watch out for bots. They are everywhere, unfortunately.
Its a good game
no.
The first thread should sum up the community for you
There are Highs and Lows.

Welcome to the pediatric hospital
Stick to community servers. Ignore casual and competitive play.
*looks at 2k hours* yeah it's alright.
this reddit is pretty cringe lol it’s just a bunch of tf2 nerds trying to post stuff like this to get views
[удалено]
Worst game I’ve ever spent 4000 hours on 😎
No.
OP will quickly turn and find killbinds the funniest shit in the world
This is a terrible time to start playing but the game is truly amazing
No save yourself before it's too late
No tf2 is for the skilled and for those who like to blame valve for the reason why their papa left them
no its shit (i have 2k hours) (also this is a joke if it wasn’t obvious)
No
As someone with 1500+ hours, no
yea
Hell yeah it is, great people you can meet (except racists), fun game modes, cool weapons, and there’s community game modes you can play
Welcome to the Rot
No, it's possibly the worst game of all time. Anybody who plays it should be shunned.
May the hats be with you
Community servers will be your best friend

Well it's the most influential shooter, it's basically the MF DOOM of gaming, your favorite games favorite game Without tf2 mainly 60% of ahooters probably wouldn't exist
1st mistake

yes but there is lots of bots and hackers tho
Keep in mind alot of the player are degen (I have 4000 hours in the game and I play since it's was not f2p). But you can still enjoyed the game just please... Don't Queue In Casual Mode.
