The TF2 Classic mod brings back VIP mode, where one player on Blu team plays a VIP armed with only an umbrella and the rest of the team need to escort the VIP through the map. Some bits are familiar from even further back. These include weapons like the Spy's Tranquilizer Gun and Scout's Nailgun and ooh I think I see the Heavy's big ol' cartoon muzzleflash. That means new (old) weapons, for starters, and they've made new maps and modes including VIP escort too.Īs well as stripping out lots of the new weapons that have flooded TF2 over the past decade, TF2 Classic recreates elements that had been seen in beta builds. The new mod Team Fortress 2 Classic calls back to one of those, blending the state of the game soon after launch with bits, aiming to offer "a re-imagining of the 2008-2009 era of the original Team Fortress 2".
It's time for the curtain to descend gracefully on "Team Fortress Classic," leaving us with a nod of gratitude and an unspoken agreement to let this classic rest in well-deserved peace.Valve worked on Team Fortress 2 long enough that it had been several distinct games by the time it launched. This, my friends, is the kind of relic we cherish and respect, silently acknowledging its role in the grand gaming tapestry, but understanding that its days of active service are done. It's not packing a gripping tale, its gameplay charm has been overtaken by fresher concepts, and as we've previously established, it's aging like that forgotten loaf of bread in the back of the pantry. Regrettably, "Team Fortress Classic" doesn't fit in any of these boxes. Some draw you in with an enthralling storyline, others with a gameplay twist that still feels revolutionary, and then there are those rarities that have weathered the years, their allure intact, ready to captivate a whole new generation.
See, there exist these vintage games that still get the thumbs-up recommendation, each for its own unique reason. Even its player base, well, let's just say it's become an endangered species, and honestly, that's quite fitting. But, alas, that prime is now ancient history, and every facet of this game has aged about as gracefully as milk left out on a summer day. Mind you, I'm not implying it wasn't a triumph back then truth be told, it was a gem in its prime. But, come on, these folks hardly need a nudge from me.īeyond that enclave of sentimental die-hards, I'm left scratching my head over who'd pick this up and why they'd do so. Now, let's get this straight from the start: if I were to pitch "Team Fortress Classic" to someone, it'd be those who once reveled in its heyday and are eager to step back into that nostalgia-rich realm. But here in the era of 2019, the narrative takes a different turn. If I were to slap a rating on this game back in the 2000s, it'd comfortably land somewhere between 4 and 5 out of 5.
