What can I say about TF2 that hasn't been said before? Resealed in October 9 2007 few games have managed to catch My attention for as long as TF2 has, I remember watching the Meet The Heavy, Soldier, Engineer promos in 2007 and being in awe at how colorful the game was, could there really be a game where the conflicting parties have more personality than "US Marine shoots Russian Soldier?"


Ever since watching the Meet The Team videos I spent years dreaming of the day I could play it on PC(the lack of a capable system at the time made it hard to justify the $49 price tag), I manage to get my fill on January 2010 when I purchased the PS3 version, Sure it ran at sub 30 fps and was limited to 16 players and 6 maps, but I didn't care it was glorious.


Yet it wasn't enough, I kept up with the updates on the PC version hoping that one day I could use those new weapons, gamemodes and maps, hoping that they would come to the PS3. It wasn't until june 23 2011 that I got my wish fulfilled, announced on that day TF2 was going to be Free to Play, how I rejoice that I was finally able to play it system requirements be damned.


Now its 2016, Team Fortress 2 is almost a decade old and its had its ups and downs, we got great updates like The Payload gamemode, Mann vs Machine and Love and War and we had some bad ones like End of The Line, Mannpower and Meat Your Match. TF2 is an old dog and it shows, whether it's how it performs on modern hardware or the plethora of game glitches and bugs that have bin in the game for years there's no denying that TF2 is on a decline, but this doesn't mean that an old dog can't learn any new tricks or still play. TF2 is kinda like that faithful dog that has always bin in the family over the years and you still love playing with him and petting it, but deep down you know one day he will die and you just don't know how to accept it.


Overall do I recommend it? Yes...Yes I do!
Why? Because you'll always have a special place in my heart TF2, Thanks for all the great memories and many more to come.
