Blue Shift

We need blueshift up here... -ts2do

The Blue Shift maps are all prefixed with ba, i.e. ba_tram1.bsp, but that isn't too catchy, but then neither is bs. ;-) --wisemx 06:36, 30 Aug 2005 (PDT)

Team Fortress 2

Since when does TF refer to Team Fortress 2? It refers to just Team fortress, not 2. --??

It seems really odd to call TF "tfc" and TF2 "tf", but (although I can't verify if the article information is correct) keep in mind that this article doesn't list the POPULAR abbreviations - just what the programs list them as. --Andreasen 07:21, 18 Sep 2007 (PDT)
