TF2 is my favorite game of all time.

I've spent almost 1000 hours on this account, 500 on another account, and I even played xbox 360 tf2 for about 300 hours. The game is amazing, it has a high skill ceiling, it's satisfying to play, the movement is very important.

I guess I'll start off by talking about my favorite parts of the game:
1. The game is fast paced
2. Killing people is satisfying be it with a spicy meatshot, or by gibbing someone and watching their body explode.
3. The game is easy to understand (Although not necessarily easy to master).
4. There is a large variety of things you can do in the game.
5. The community is actually pretty chill. There are toxic people, but overall, everyone is just there to have a good time.

I played this game competitively for a long time, and even though my team lost a lot, I still had fun. A lot of games, losing isn't fun, but honestly, with TF2, I wouldn't get upset when I lost. There wasn't any bs (besides random crits, which weren't on in comp); if someone beat you, it just meant that they were better than you. It didn't mean that they were abusing OP weapons, or cheesing the game. A good player with a bad weapon can beat a bad player with a good weapon.

The characters are great, the game looks cartoony, but that doesn't stop characters from shouting out domination lines when you kill someone saying lines that basically make fun of whoever you killed. Taunting is a mechanic and you can't really get mad at it because the game doesn't care if you get offended by small things. I love that.

Why do I not recommend TF2 if I love the game so much?


The TF2 team at Valve loves the game to death. They are working their hardest, but it just isn't enough. I don't want to play a game that is filled with hackers, that has an official competitive mode that can't be played, and that has a team that makes promises they can't keep.

For people that just want a game they can play casually every now and then, TF2 is great. You have to be OK with losing. TF2 is really hard. If you're looking for something you can go deeper in, TF2 is great. It has depth that allows people to use the game's mechanics to their maximum potential.

If you're looking for a game that gets updated more than once a year, TF2 isn't the place for you. If you're looking for a company that holds official tournaments, and doesn't just make the bare minimum blog post whenever there's a tournament, TF2 isn't the place for you. If you're looking for a game that you can be confident that it has a future, TF2 isn't for you.

A lot of people say TF2 is dying, and that's not true. TF2 still has a large playerbase, and I believe that if they had the dev team to back it up, TF2 would be up there as one of the top games again.

I'm still going to play TF2, I still have fun with it, but I'm playing less now than I did before. I just can't recommend it in the current state it is in now.
