Team Fortress 2 is the follow-up to both 
Team Fortress Classic and the original 
Quake mod, 
Team Fortress.
Unlike other "class-based" games that offer a variety of combat classes only, Team Fortress 2 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, Team Fortress 2 is now available for free, separated from other packages such as 
The Orange Box.
There have been over 700 updates since the game's release, including Jungle Inferno. As of today the game is still receiving some updates.
In April 19, 2024, a Team Fortress 2 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)[2], more than 4GB RAM support and better performance[1]. 64-bit update is not available for Mac users, however.

System Requirements
Last updated: February 18, 2024
| Windows | ||
|---|---|---|
| Minimum | Recommended | |
| Operating system (OS) | 7, 8, 8.1 (32-bit client only) 10, 11 (64-bit) |
10, 11 (64-bit) |
| Processor (CPU) | Intel Core 2 Duo or AMD equivalent 64-bit version of the game requires 64-bit capable CPU | Intel Core i3/i5/i7 or AMD equivalent |
| System memory (RAM) | 3-4 GB RAM | 6 GB RAM or more |
| Hard disk drive (HDD/SSD) | 25 GB | 25 GB |
| Video card (GPU) | Nvidia GeForce 8xxx series/ATI Radeon X1600/Intel HD Graphics 3000 (DirectX 9 compatible) | DirectX 9 compatible, 1GB+ VRAM |
| Other | 64-bit version of the game at the moment requires Windows 10 (or possibly 8.1), due to a bug that crashes the game as soon you have joined the servers (or by creating a local one) on older OS. | |
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:* - Support for Windows XP and Vista has been dropped with later updates. Additionally, Windows 10 or later is required for the 64-bit client (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 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.Furthermore, updates may also affect the Storage requirements over time.
