Today’s game is Team Fortress 2. This one’s going to be a bit short, due to just not being able to get many screenshots for it. For years it’s been an annual tradition of mine to play this game on Christmas Eve. Though I’ve stopped playing it for a while, it’s fun to go and kick back in some matches and mess around, even with the communities unique qualities sometimes. This time i dragged a friend along for this year and we played a few swissmas maps and made our way over to 2fort to mess around.
I spent the entire session messing around with my friend and whoever i could drag into dancing with me. After that i jumped around as soldier and used the equalizer taunt to take out some snipers i snuck behind for fun. Then me and my friend i dragged along got into a feud and spent a good while trying to kill each other after autobalance swapped our teams. After that i played some Demoman and messed around with my friend in the Intelligence room before deciding to get off for the night early.
This game is timeless. It was released in a time when the arena FPS was on its way out and server browsers were still the norm for PC online multiplayer, yet it has hardly aged.
I recently tried playing TF2 after a long break (maybe 5 years) and while there is still decent number of user run servers, it’s not always easy to find a relatively full one for many maps.
I run into the same problems. Basically anything besides 2fort there’s a bit of a queue for or just low player count
