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.

As of February 2023, there have been 759 updates since the game's release.

System Requirements

Last updated: 6 April 2023

Minimum: (?)	Recommended: (?)
Processor: Intel Core 2 Duo or AMD equivalent Graphics: Nvidia GeForce 8xxx series/ATI Radeon X1600/Intel HD Graphics 3000 (DirectX 8.1 compatible) Memory: 3-4 GB RAM Storage: 25 GB, HDD Sound card: Any Windows: Windows 7 or later*	Processor: Intel Core i3/i5/i7 or AMD equivalent Graphics: DirectX 9 compatible, 1GB+ VRAM Memory: 6 GB RAM or more Storage: SSD (optional) Sound card: Any Windows: Windows 7/8/8.1/10/11 or later

Note:DirectX 9 is required for Competitive Mode.

Note:* - Technically, this game is still playable on Windows XP and Vista (and once used to be supported on those operating systems), however support for Steam for these operating systems has been dropped as of 2019, and with TF2 having the Steam API updated later that year, thus these operating systems are automatically no longer supported from running TF2. Windows 7 and 8, 8.1 support will be also dropped soon in 2024.

Note:As the game received updates over time, the system requirements listed on Steam is now massively out of date as the Pentium 4 and systems with 2GB RAM (both, which is listed on Recommended requirements on Steam), will struggled to run the game properly with average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