{{tf2|4}} is the follow-up to both {{tfc|1}} and the original {{Quake|1}} mod, {{qtf|1|nt=0}}. The game was originally released and only available with {{Tob|3.1}} package.
 
Unlike other "class-based" games that offer a variety of combat classes only, {{tf2|1}} 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|name}}''' is now available for free, separated from {{TOB|1}}.
 
There have been over 700 updates since the game's release, including Jungle Inferno. As of today, the game is still receiving some updates.<!--Exact number isn't that important. Most games don't have that many updates.-->
 
On April 19, 2024, a '''{{tf2|name}}''' update was released which features many changes, including 64-bit support (allowing more than 4GB RAM to be used), [[Vulkan|DXVK]] integration, [[WebM]] (replacing [[Bink]] videos), MilesMP3 was replaced with MiniMP3, emoji support in chat (for {{linux|1}}){{cite|2}}, and better performance{{Cite|1}}. The 64-bit update is not available for {{macos|1}} users, however.
 
As of June 3-4, 2024, the game recently received mixed reviews for recent reviews, then quickly become negative as many players review bombed the game due to amount of bot accounts used for cheating, harassment and trolling purposes entering Valve casual matchmaking servers.{{Cite|3}} Weeks later, Valve responded by banning several bot accounts (including the bot hosters), and added a Steam Support page.

{{note|DirectX 9 is required for Competitive Mode.}}
{{note|Support for Windows XP and Vista has been dropped with later updates. 64-bit executable requires Windows 7 or later.}}
{{note|As the game received updates over time, the system requirements listed on {{steamicon|4}} are massively out of date as the Pentium 4 and systems with 2GB RAM (both, which are listed on Recommended requirements on Steam), will struggle to run the game properly with average FPS at 8-15. It is unknown whether the recent 64-bit update (which also fixed performance issues) will increase the game performance for Pentium 4 CPUs/system less than 2GB RAM.<br><br>Furthermore, updates have affected the Storage requirements over time.}}
