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, 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tf.exe instead.Note:As the game received updates over time, the system requirements listed on Steam is now massively out of date as the Pentium 4 and systems with 2GB RAM (both, which is listed on Recommended requirements on Steam), will struggled to run the game properly with average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.
