KeyValues2 is an ASCII encoding of a Datamodel object. It is the successor to KeyValues.
The SDK tool Dmxconvert can convert files between KV2 and DMX encoding.

Team Fortress 2
Team Fortress 2 has a single KV2 file at tf2_misc_dir.vpk\tf\expressions\player\engineer\phonemes\engineer_phoneme.pre
. A truncated version follows:
