{{APH|Team Fortress 2}}
{{tf2|4}} is the follow-up to both {{tfc|4}} and the original {{Quake|4}} mod, {{qtf|4|nt=0}}.
 
Unlike other "class-based" games that offer a variety of combat classes only, {{tf2|3}} packs a wild variety of classes which provide a broad range of tactical abilities and personalities, and lend themselves to a variety of player skills.
 
Play as the flame-throwing Pyro, the room-clearing Heavy, or the Spy, a master of stealth and disguises. Other classes include: Scout, Sniper, Medic, Engineer, Demoman, and Soldier.
 
Since June 2011, {{tf2|4}} is now available for free, separated from other packages such as {{TOB|4}}.
 
There have been over 700 updates since the game's release.<!--Exact number isn't that important. Most games don't have that many updates.-->
 
In April 19, 2024, a {{tf2|4}} update has been released which features many changes, including 64-bit support, [[Vulkan]] renderer on Windows, [[WebM]] in favor of [[Bink]] videos, and MiniMP3 support, emoji support in chat (for Linux){{cite|2}}, more than 4GB RAM support and better performance{{Cite|1}}. 64-bit update is not available for Mac users, however.

{{note|DirectX 9 is required for Competitive Mode, and since April 19, 2024 (64-bit) update, DirectX 9 is now required in order to play the game as support DirectX 8.1 is currently broken with the 64-bit update.}}
{{note|<small>*</small> - Support for Windows XP and Vista has been dropped with later updates. Additionally, Windows 10 or later is required for the 64-bit client ({{code|tf_win64.exe}}) to work due to a bug that crashes the game on older systems, users with Windows 7 - 8.1 can workaround this by using the 32-bit client {{code|tf.exe}} instead.}}
{{note|As the game received updates over time, the system requirements listed on [[Steam]] is now massively out of date as the Pentium 4 and systems with 2GB RAM (both, which is listed on Recommended requirements on Steam), will struggled to run the game properly with average FPS at 8-15.<br><br>Furthermore, updates may also affect the Storage requirements over time.}}
