Furthermore, updates may also affect the Storage requirements over time.

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.
In April 19, 2024, a Team Fortress 2 update has been released which features many changes, including 64-bit support, WebM in favor of Bink videos, 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.
