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.
On April 19, 2024, a Team Fortress 2 update was released which features many changes, including 64-bit support (allowing more than 4GB RAM to be used), Vulkan renderer on 
Windows, WebM in favor of Bink videos, MiniMP3 support, emoji support in chat (for 
Linux)[2], and better performance[1]. The 64-bit update is not available for 
macOS users, however.

| Operating system (OS) | 7, 8, 8.1, 10, 11 | 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 |

| Other | The 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 an older OS. | |
Note:DirectX 9 is required for Competitive Mode, and since April 19, 2024 (64-bit) update, DirectX 9 is now required 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. 64-bit executable requires Windows 7 or later.Note:As the game received updates over time, the system requirements listed on 
Steam are massively out of date as the Pentium 4 and systems with 2GB RAM (both, which are listed on Recommended requirements on Steam), will struggle to run the game properly with average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.Furthermore, updates have affected the Storage requirements over time.
