@@disastercal1 I'm completly honest here, I thought that it better for TF2 to stay the way it is now, but after watching this video I changed my mind and now think that there is no need to be afraid of changes in our beloved game
I'd like to imagine that somewhere there's a rip-off of the "Abandoned by Disney" creepypasta named "Abandoned by Valve". Except instead of a crappy attempt at horror, it's a sad story of someone finding a poor lonesome Hoovy as the last and sole inhabitant of a rotting and crumbling 2Fort.
abandoned by disney was goated though, one of my favorite creepypasta. would love a modern remake of it, though. especially when looking at current disney
The photonegative Hoovy is a manifestation of all the hatred towards volvo for mismanaging the game. He throws you a sandwich made of trade up fodder hats.
Welcome to the community! It's after 10+ years still my favourite PC game. I'm sure that it'll stay one of your favourite games for the rest of your life! 🥳
I'm the opposite. I played TF2 *to death* at the beginning. Didn't catch it on release, but shortly after the first update. I stayed on board, playing it obsessively, only stopping when it became clear that hats and alternate weapons were the future of the game. Then I jumped ship. When I did, I don't think any class had more than 1 or 2 alternate weapons for each weapon type. I absolutely loved that elegance and simplicity, and felt sad the game was on the path to lose it - as it did. Now I'm super interested in getting back to TF2, but it's absolutely overwhelming. If you see someone running around with stock weapons and no hats, it's probably me.
@@FBracht do yourself a favour and download the mod that gets rid of all the cosmetics from a visual standpoint; people will still wear theirs, but you will not see them and it will feel a lot fresh and familiar. Also most stock weapons are still considered the go-to, so don't feel pressured by the "new" flashy weapons Alternatively, get Team Fortress 2 Classic, a great fan mod that adds a few additional weapons, the 9th class (Civilian from TFC, who was planned but removed in favour of the payload in payload maps, and even GRN and YLW teams) but keeps out the fluff. Problem is that it's just not as alive as TF2.
The content was cool but sometimes there'd be one or two weapon changes that really didn't make sense. But it was cool. I played the day it became f2p because little kid with no money. My favourite update must've been Pyromania. And I also remember the day the conga dropped. Everyone was dancing everywhere
Same. The person who claimed that 20 people are working on TF2 on the stream could be a random person spreading false information and Cipherlock being hyped over nothing.
"I first touched this game at the age of six-" I was about to say 'nice parenting,' then I realized my first game was the shareware version of Doom at age four.
I started playing tf2 less than a year ago and immediately fell in love with playing it, and it immediately became my main game despite me sucking at it, which is rare for any game im newly starting but it was just so fun even when i was god-awful at it. I never really considered the possibility of the game updating, really considering it as one of those games thats basically "completed", but the idea of bigger new content sounds way too exciting and this video made me want a new update way more than i should
That's actually an interesting way to look at it. I grew up since the era of constant updates, so seeing it in newer eyes would be impossible for me. Might be good for me to make a video on...
I keep hearing about the golden age of tf2 and I feel like I missed it, with all my heart I want that to experience what that was like I want the tf2 you had
@@cipherlock I joined the party too late, i’m 15 right now and have no access to a computer, tf2 means so much to me even now. I remember when i was little, i use to play sometimes on my older brothers computer - those small moments were the only thing i had close to that. ❤💙
Great video! I’ve unfortunately never gotten the experience of a new major update in TF2 but I’m definitely hoping for it. This game is awesome and it deserves all the praise!!
I first started playing TF2 October of 2014. It truly does not feel like 10 years have gone by, and the fact that seven of those years has been dry of major update content is such an insane thought. In just the 3 years I played before jungle inferno it felt like an entirely different game, with all the major updates and NEW WEAPONS. It’s also completely disheartening to think about all the new players that have never experienced the absolute joy it is to mess around with the new content. I feel for y’all truly.
@@potatork1ng311that's not the point silly goose 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂? the point is that there's still a community around melee after 23 years without any fixes or updates! 😂 I think that's what he means 😛🤣😂🤣😂🤣🤣
I am 24 years old and I have experienced almost every single update TF2 has ever had. I barely play nowadays but I do still come back to this gem every once in a while and play for a few weeks. It is truly sad it got abandoned.
i only started playing on december 21, 2021, and I never knew any feeling of a major update, and i dont think tf2 *needs* another update, but the idea of a major update sounds so alluring...
That’s one of the reasons why I want a “major update” again so badly, there are SO many people out there who never got to experience the hype and anticipation of a new update like jungle inferno…
It's the difference between nutrition suppluments, and a hardy fufilling meal. TF2 is currently getting nutrition supplements, with the ocational candy. with a bug fixes, unusuals, maps, etc. But nutrision supplements, are NOT as good as normal food. In the past, tf2 has had some very good meals. such as jumgle inferno, love and war, etc. they had everything the suppluments had, but they tasted good. Whast TF2 dosent NEED an update, Suppluments aren't as as tasty or fun as a felit minon with asparigus and fries.
But we need to keep in mind, that behind the word "Valve" there are developers, people. They most probably burnt out by the idea of TF2. No matter the money, no matter the support, burning out from an idea is exhausting to a point that even the most valued piece of art can become so mundane.. to a point when it's hard to look at without getting a feeling of exhaustion
I started playing this game when I was 11. My family didn’t have money for WiFi, so I would sit against our living room window to steal our neighbors WiFi.
Dude, growing up playing TF2 with your family sounds so sick... I only really got into TF2 a couple years back, and only me and my younger brother are really ever into it. My dad did play back before it went f2p, but he's just not the gamer he used to be anymore. My older brother and sister dont really care about it past the memes and sfms, and my mom is straight up against it.
I have been playing TF2 since almost its release, I started playing back in 2008 and have experienced all the golden age updated and events. Valve is pretty much just using it as a money printer now, the passion in the community has never been higher than it is now, but valve doesn't really care as much as they did back in the day.
Every now and then I get burnt out on the game, and maybe I'll take a few months off, maybe even a year...but I always come back. This game has utterly captivated me, and until the day the servers are dead, I'll always have this wonderful game to call home.
The bug fixes, bot bans and the 64-bit update (which improved a lot particularly on Linux) makes me think, personally overly optimistically, they are making improvements behind the scenes.
This video gives me hope man. I started playing the game when I was 10 in 2016 and I only saw one major update and since then they decided to not do updates for 7 years :( Let's hope that changes soon...
Even if they dont give us a big update(which i doubt their reputation with having cheaters in most of their games caught up with them), having no bots around and an upcoming comic is still a big step in the right direction
I joined the community only a few months ago, but this game is so charming and delightful, I genuinely want it to get some attention from Valve again. There are few things quite like it, and it deserves to be preserved.
few things i wanted to say watching this 1 relate so much to your story of your childhood for my 18th birthday i held a lan party with every computer and laptop i could scrape together, just to play tf2 with all my friends and family whilst im cautious, but i do feel that the quality of the tf2 updates has been slowly improving, for a long while tf2's updates were just garbage hats, and maps (wutville) theyve slowly become less garbage hats, less garbage maps, theyve added important things like moving the code base over to 64bit, adding VScript, adding 100 player limit options, adding community fixes section to the workshop these changes still pale to the incredible updates of old, and i still yearn for the day that the ambassador gets reverted to its pre-jungle inferno status after its wrongful nerf in Jungle inferno, but it does feel like whoever is working on TF2 is slowly getting better / more efficient, or managing to rope in more help, or whatever have you in getting TF2 updates to just be a little bit better lastly, i know your friend from valve said that 20ish people are working on TF2, but that could mean a lot of different things, and before i continue, i dont want to make it sound like any one persons job is less important than another do the people making the Comic count? because that's at least a writer or two, an artist or 3, and never mind proof reading, checking for errors with the drawings dont get me wrong, the TF Comic would be amazing to see, but its not going to change the game even if they are actually working on the game, there is a big difference between someone who works on importing models / textures from the workshop for hats, someone who helps beta test maps to see how well they play, someone who manually bans players who cheat, or grief someone who works on the technical stuff, like adding in Vscript, 100 player limit, 64bit update, getting a community fix section working on the workshop dont get me wrong, all of these jobs are important in different ways, but ultimately, realistically, none of these 20 people are working on actually making another major update to the game and whilst ill always be hopeful, it does leave me sad at the raw potential tf2 will never see because of it as a huge fan of TF2, ive written up a ton of changes id love to see added to the game, docs.google.com/document/d/1O3eW-Vh6mV4roi3J55nJw48B0zGkxW7M3RekIevgcQA/edit think about all the cool stuff that could exist fun new weapons like giving scout a BHop Scattergun, heavy a sandvich minigun replacement and demoman a market gardener, balancing weapons like the ambassador to feel fun and useful, making the sandman guilotine combo, fun, but fair adding in female versions of the TF2 mercs giving tf2 a pseudo story that also works as a built in tutorial for new players never mind countless fixes to old default settings, mvm issues, in-game competitive issues one day i hope valve capitalizes on the games potential, its so amazing already, it would be truly magical if the game was able to grow into what it could be
I was 13 years old when I played that game, but I stopped playing it years ago to focus on my life. Now that I’m 21, I’m hoping to play TF2 again soon once I’ve finished the important stuff.
i cried so fucking hard during this video, this is a very important game to me, i absolutely love, i first played it in i think 2014 when i made my steam account to buy csgo, but i found this game on the first page, as a 5th grades with a new laptop, kinda weak but good enough for me, i played this game religiously for more or less 3 years until the bots started to appear more and more, and recently i've been playing it again. it has already been a decade, half of my life i have played this game on and off. This was a stupid rant but i want to thank you for making this video. Thank you very vey much
Tf2 at this point is like a stranger stranded in time after surviving for so long that everything changed so drastically that you're just a relic of another time.
I'm really worried the TF2 community will become complacent in updates that contain only bug fixes, unusual effects, maps, and cosmetics. TF2 is so much more than said community content only.
I don’t think they will, their main priority was the bot and bug fixes, just to make the game PLAYABLE, and many of the community don’t stop talking about the fact they don’t update the game, i have hope
Listen bro I started playing in 2014, stopped shortly after update in 2017 and just started playing few days ago, so I literally skipped the gap and the game still looks fresh to me. I love this game man
I've experienced a few casual servers where the enemy team was all bots. But it only lasts about 4-5 minutes before they all get removed/ banned simultaneously, then the real players flood in. Keep it up Volvo! 👍
My hope came back with the SaveTF2 movement, seeing over 200k people sign the petition really gave me hope. And it’s so nice to see that people won’t give up. Long Live TF2
might as well tell the while story with the lenghty wait before Jungle Inferno which too was years. It was my first and only major update, rest is just cosmetic cash grabs, buggy untested maps (remember untested breadspace?) and 0 vac functionality.
Wow, Jungle inferno was also 2017? Looking back 2017 ,might have been the best year I can remember, every time I look into it, it turns out most of my favorite thing were getting updates, being released, or getting trailers dropped in 2017, I mean heck that was the year the Nintendo Switch released. That might be the best year of the 21st century.
I have 17 years and i am worried i will never experience a tf2 update in my life, i am about to end high school and tf2 hasen't received a mayor update for all those years
Based optimist god. To be honest, I feel like part of why TF2 stopped getting major updates is that Overwatch took it's place (not helped by the abysmal Meet your Match update)... but then given how that turned out in the long term, I feel like there might be cause for bigger updates. I'm hoping that, at the very least, we get new weapons eventually
Here's the thing about TF2. TF2, as a game, is just not mainstream in the way it used to be and it's old. Is it popular? Sure, to some degree, but like you said. most of Valve wants to work on new projects. Maybe Jungle Inferno could've been a bigger update, but even if it was, I doubt the game would have caught fire the way it needed to garner attention like Counter-Strike does. There are just too many factors holding the game back from evolving the way we hope it would. But at least the game is playable again and that's something to be celebrated.
I definitely agree. I was astounded that the bots have been banned for good, so despite the lack of major updates, I am still going to enjoy the game while we can!
@@Basuko_Smoker pretty much all gamers know of them. While casuals at least saw their characters. It's in the public's concious at the very least. Concord, on the other hand, no one even knows them outside of gaming circle
@@Capiosus I Perfectly know, made my Steam account in 2011 just to install TF2...But people around me barely know that this game even exists and they 80% at least completed a couple of AAA titles (i Guess that qualifies as average gamer?)
Valve has clearly moved on, and I think it's a little silly to expect anything more than what they're doint now. In some ways it's actually incredible Eric and Joshie are shipping bug fixes. I agree that some things about the updates are subpar, especially the cosmetic additions. Ultimately the way TF2 has been handled since the blue moom update was sad but all things end eventually. People ought not complain too much as long as they actually continue to keep bot hosters from making the game playable. I will also say this, to anyone that watched this video, take all of this with a grain of salt and expect nothing.
A 17 year old game, old games=mess to program and fix and stop Cheats, even 2015 games have this problem. But although so many problems, the community stays strong, this game LITERALLY GAVE ME SCHIZOPHRENIA
I’m betting now I’m be in my 30s or 40s (or dead) when the next major TF2 update comes out (I’m 3 years from finishing high school if y’all want some more sense)

I'm the opposite. I played TF2 *to death* at the beginning. Didn't catch it on release, but shortly after the first update.

When I did, I don't think any class had more than 1 or 2 alternate weapons for each weapon type. I absolutely loved that elegance and simplicity, and felt sad the game was on the path to lose it - as it did.

1 relate so much to your story of your childhood

lastly, i know your friend from valve said that 20ish people are working on TF2, but that could mean a lot of different things,
and before i continue, i dont want to make it sound like any one persons job is less important than another
do the people making the Comic count? because that's at least a writer or two, an artist or 3, and never mind proof reading, checking for errors with the drawings
dont get me wrong, the TF Comic would be amazing to see, but its not going to change the game
even if they are actually working on the game, there is a big difference between someone who works on importing models / textures from the workshop for hats, someone who helps beta test maps to see how well they play, someone who manually bans players who cheat, or grief someone who works on the technical stuff, like adding in Vscript, 100 player limit, 64bit update, getting a community fix section working on the workshop
dont get me wrong, all of these jobs are important in different ways, but ultimately, realistically, none of these 20 people are working on actually making another major update to the game
and whilst ill always be hopeful, it does leave me sad at the raw potential tf2 will never see because of it
as a huge fan of TF2, ive written up a ton of changes id love to see added to the game, docs.google.com/document/d/1O3eW-Vh6mV4roi3J55nJw48B0zGkxW7M3RekIevgcQA/edit
think about all the cool stuff that could exist
fun new weapons like giving scout a BHop Scattergun, heavy a sandvich minigun replacement and demoman a market gardener,
balancing weapons like the ambassador to feel fun and useful, making the sandman guilotine combo, fun, but fair
adding in female versions of the TF2 mercs
giving tf2 a pseudo story that also works as a built in tutorial for new players
never mind countless fixes to old default settings, mvm issues, in-game competitive issues
one day i hope valve capitalizes on the games potential, its so amazing already, it would be truly magical if the game was able to grow into what it could be
Even if 20 people work on it. I doubt that it's full time, because it's probably 20 people working on it on and off.
I am 15, weird to think that tf2 hasn't been updated for almost half of my life.
I'm only a few months older than this game, sooo in 2 more years it would've had no major updates for half my life
I was 13 years old when I played that game, but I stopped playing it years ago to focus on my life. Now that I’m 21, I’m hoping to play TF2 again soon once I’ve finished the important stuff.
i have yet to experience a major update.
I pray this changes.
Same.
Oh boy, here we go again.
We were promised a Heavy Update😢
Awesome video. Lets hope Valve will preserve this beautiful art piece for years to come!
i cried so fucking hard during this video, this is a very important game to me, i absolutely love, i first played it in i think 2014 when i made my steam account to buy csgo, but i found this game on the first page, as a 5th grades with a new laptop, kinda weak but good enough for me, i played this game religiously for more or less 3 years until the bots started to appear more and more, and recently i've been playing it again. it has already been a decade, half of my life i have played this game on and off. This was a stupid rant but i want to thank you for making this video. Thank you very vey much
Tf2 at this point is like a stranger stranded in time after surviving for so long that everything changed so drastically that you're just a relic of another time.
"See you in another 15 year"
"14 years without valve."
I'm really worried the TF2 community will become complacent in updates that contain only bug fixes, unusual effects, maps, and cosmetics.
TF2 is so much more than said community content only.
I don’t think they will, their main priority was the bot and bug fixes, just to make the game PLAYABLE, and many of the community don’t stop talking about the fact they don’t update the game, i have hope
After 9 years of abandonment, hopefully it will have been worth the wait.
Listen bro I started playing in 2014, stopped shortly after update in 2017 and just started playing few days ago, so I literally skipped the gap and the game still looks fresh to me. I love this game man
im not kidding i daydreamed so much about game improvements in the meantime that i came up with a complete Team Fortress 3 pitch
Lets hear it!
@@brockthebananabruiser2819 id prolly need a hour long video lol
@@Pyromaniax tf2 viewers have that attention span if the 12 hour Badwater video is something to go by
Great video, keep it up :D
I've experienced a few casual servers where the enemy team was all bots. But it only lasts about 4-5 minutes before they all get removed/ banned simultaneously, then the real players flood in.
Keep it up Volvo! 👍
Great work, I am so surprised they are getting kicked so fast.
"Its an eternity in there.."
This video gave me hope to this game
My hope came back with the SaveTF2 movement, seeing over 200k people sign the petition really gave me hope. And it’s so nice to see that people won’t give up. Long Live TF2
might as well tell the while story with the lenghty wait before Jungle Inferno which too was years. It was my first and only major update, rest is just cosmetic cash grabs, buggy untested maps (remember untested breadspace?) and 0 vac functionality.
I’m still amazed by Cashworks. Could literally just walk into enemy spawns
Wow, Jungle inferno was also 2017? Looking back 2017 ,might have been the best year I can remember, every time I look into it, it turns out most of my favorite thing were getting updates, being released, or getting trailers dropped in 2017, I mean heck that was the year the Nintendo Switch released. That might be the best year of the 21st century.
Seven years eh ? Another day older and deeper in more crates.
See yall in another 7 ish years if Valve still does nothing
well?
@@vintagememelord8168 Nothing yet, perhaps 7 more years ?
dont want a key but thats supreme commander 2
Really good video!
I have 17 years and i am worried i will never experience a tf2 update in my life, i am about to end high school and tf2 hasen't received a mayor update for all those years
chess players arent worried about updates, they simply play. be like chess players
@@itchylol742 compare chess a gameboard game with tf2 a multiplayer online game with hats and cosmetics and made by a multibillon company is wild
@@itchylol742 okay yea but they didnt delete the bishop before they left. and chess getting updates wasnt part of its whole thing
You know what's underrepresented to getting added to TF2?
WEAPON RESKINS
They’ve always been a strange case to me…
See you in another 7 years.
Hopefully we can look back on 2024 as the year when TF2 got resurrected from the dead
Based optimist god. To be honest, I feel like part of why TF2 stopped getting major updates is that Overwatch took it's place (not helped by the abysmal Meet your Match update)... but then given how that turned out in the long term, I feel like there might be cause for bigger updates. I'm hoping that, at the very least, we get new weapons eventually
Here's the thing about TF2. TF2, as a game, is just not mainstream in the way it used to be and it's old. Is it popular? Sure, to some degree, but like you said. most of Valve wants to work on new projects. Maybe Jungle Inferno could've been a bigger update, but even if it was, I doubt the game would have caught fire the way it needed to garner attention like Counter-Strike does. There are just too many factors holding the game back from evolving the way we hope it would. But at least the game is playable again and that's something to be celebrated.
I definitely agree. I was astounded that the bots have been banned for good, so despite the lack of major updates, I am still going to enjoy the game while we can!
An incredible intro my guy. Good video!
Concord would kill to get a fraction of fame TF2 has. Yet Valve just leaves the money on the table...
Idk how true IS that, some people that Play games on and off (not daily) still don't know tf2 even exists, even less so than its made by valve
@@Basuko_Smoker pretty much all gamers know of them. While casuals at least saw their characters. It's in the public's concious at the very least.
Concord, on the other hand, no one even knows them outside of gaming circle
@@Basuko_Smokerif you haven’t seen any tf2 characters then you haven’t been on the internet
@@Capiosus I Perfectly know, made my Steam account in 2011 just to install TF2...But people around me barely know that this game even exists and they 80% at least completed a couple of AAA titles (i Guess that qualifies as average gamer?)
@@DanDaFreakinMan oh yeah, if I mention Concord nobody even knows if im talking about a game or a band of some sort lmao
I will live before the next tf2 update comes out because i HAVE UBERCHARHE -medic
this vid is so freaking COOL
I just realized the last time they made a big update was when I was 3 years old😢
edp445 has joined**
you were 3 years old in 2017? go play roblox
Bro is 8 lmao
Valve has clearly moved on, and I think it's a little silly to expect anything more than what they're doint now. In some ways it's actually incredible Eric and Joshie are shipping bug fixes. I agree that some things about the updates are subpar, especially the cosmetic additions. Ultimately the way TF2 has been handled since the blue moom update was sad but all things end eventually. People ought not complain too much as long as they actually continue to keep bot hosters from making the game playable. I will also say this, to anyone that watched this video, take all of this with a grain of salt and expect nothing.
Players want a new TF2 update but Valve doesnt, the company wants to move on. Deadlock is a good example of that.
Pretty much exactly this. Most people want to work on new projects to build up their reputation and have fun with rather than TF2
Yes and people seem to want to play Deadlock more than TF2 as shown by the fact that pre-alpha is so popular lol.
A 17 year old game, old games=mess to program and fix and stop
Cheats, even 2015 games have this problem.
But although so many problems, the community stays strong, this game LITERALLY GAVE ME SCHIZOPHRENIA
Yooo profle picture brotha
3:36 the Janitor and the plant.
I’m betting now I’m be in my 30s or 40s (or dead) when the next major TF2 update comes out (I’m 3 years from finishing high school if y’all want some more sense)
Gonna start uni next year.
I'm gonna finish uni int he next 7 years
