Dig deeper into Valve’s class-based online shooter
I’ve fallen off theTeam Fortress 2wagon in a big way; I used to play for at least 2-3 hours every day but the constant stream of updates and deluge of new items dulled my interest. Watching this latest episode of Did You Know Gaming onTF2brought back some good memories and reminded me of the game’s long and protracted development phase.
Team Fortress 2was worked on for eight years before being finally released; the firstTeam Fortresswas aQuakemod that Valve snapped up and had re-released on its own Source engine. WhenTF2was originally shown off it was clearly going for a realistic war shooter look which I’m glad never paned out. I much prefer the stylized silliness of the final product.

I should really try outTF2one more time — maybe I’ll learn to love it again.
