This video took way longer than it should have to make. Partially due to college and taking a mental break, but I also had to rewrite the script and rerecord some lines multiple times to make sure it sounded as natural as possible. I was worried about how the video would turn out. So yeah, I hope you enjoy the video! Now I can worry about final exams :)
Also, if you're gonna send me some free stuff (especially an unusual hat and an australium weapon), I appreciate the generosity, but I'm gonna have to decline. I've already said that I kinda grew out of trying to get more hats, so I'll just enjoy what I have and focus on trying to get through life
EDIT FROM 1/11/2024: I've been seeing #SaveTF2 trend on Twitter and the bots are still running rampant recently. Since I'm still hopeful for the future of TF2, I just want to say Valve, please fix your game, get rid of the bots entirely, and release issue 7 of the TF2 comics!
EDIT FROM 6/3/2024: Since today's the day we tell Valve to fix the bot problem with #FixTF2, Valve please get rid of the fucking bots!
EDIT FROM 6/5/2024: You know, I’ve been thinking, was I being too positive about TF2?
congrats on just finishing a video. people always overlook how long it takes to make videos
May no one care i was born in the year when tf2 got released so i am very happy that the game exist

TF2 is one of those games you can't forget, and that you don't stop playing, but just take breaks because it's so good
Well my break will take as long as it takes for me to get my phished items back
Fr 💯💯
@@koalabear1984 getting scamed made me leave the game too. But I came back to it because it's just that good. So don't feel sad!
@@Lord_Jamilson I just feel so bland without my taunts yknow
@@koalabear1984 me too, and I'm sad as well. But we gotta have fun sonehow.
TF2 isn’t a game I’ve played much of, but nonetheless holds a special place in my heart. It’s such a cool game!
This game has something that most modern games do not have, its own atmosphere, soul and unique lore
and sandvich
in what other game can you dance on the mission objective with the enemy? Taunts give this game so much life.
The day TF2 goes away it'll be genuinely heartbreaking. All good things must come to an end, but i just hope it'll live long enough to see a second grand rebirth, to see the anti-bot update, to see the heavy update, to see a new big update.
Live long enough to see the old valve getting spin
Man, tf2 will always be in my heart, no matter what happens
Well, like a great man once said, "We're not dying! We are going to live forever!"
TF2 can't "go away" unless they revoked our ability to host servers which they will never do.
They could technically shut off item server at some point but I imagine if they did they'd just grandfather in all backpack items, allow full customization for free and remove all the third-party accessories
Yeah TF2 will probably never go away, we already have two standalone mods you can play right now with TF2C and Open Fortress, and a fan group is also working on recreating it in Source 2. TF2 is an open platform game and it will only die once literally not a single person cares anymore
@@ImGonnaFudgeThatFisheven if they shut down servers you would still be able to play casual, the difference is the servers would just be hosted by the first player in and not valve so you’d just be subject to the wi-fi of whoever is hosting.
TF2 definitely is a Timeless Masterpiece indeed! I've been playing this game since 2009.
About the Competitive part... this game can definitely be Competitive. It's just the fact that the majority of players look at it as a Casual game and don't feel/have the urge to get better. It's also a unique Competitive experience compared to other games. In other games you just aim and shoot - typical FPS shooters. But in TF2 you got Rocket Jumping, Surfing, Strafing and more things to watch out for.
Definitely one of the best games available.
Best casual and competetive game in one package.
Can play it as seriously as you want really.
The best competitive game that nobody plays competitively
And this makes me sad. There some "bad" weapons who only a few knows how use it correctly.
But ok mechaniks like rocket jumping strafing are so boomer style
The gaming industry is oversaturated with competitive games and some players are just looking for a place in which they can escape that. I include myself there too.
Your video proves that we all got a similar nostalgia for what TF2 used to be. Literally, when I was watching this, flashbacks from when I was a new player were just flooding my mind. Great video! I might get back into TF2 now.
In my opinion TF2 has one of the best communities. All the memes and the Fan animations and they even do funny shit in the in-game Voicechat. I am so happy to be part of this amazing community and I hope that the game will live forever
I just joined the community last summer and really hyped for the summer update, even if its not a major one!
I joined in 2010 and missed some updates like WAR! but reading through the wiki, seeing the update pages and comics and watching CZcams videos of the update gameplay really had me imagine what it was like and got me hyped for witnessing my own first update hype, lol
i really feel like this video is gonna be one of those Timeless classics, just because of this guys formatting and humor.
i felt like it was jankily made
"We both got buckets of chicken.”
Wan do it?
TF2 lore is also hillarious on its own. Like, Scout thinks Tom Jones (yup, THAT Tom Jones) is his father, Lincoln has invented rocketjumping before stairs, and New Zealand is an underwater civilization, like a fucking Atlantis
The absurdity of this all is just shefs kiss
My dad played tf2 a fair bit a while ago, and I had no idea until I started talking to him about pyro and he went "oh is that tf2? yeah I was a pyro main lol" and now I want to play someday with him (if the servers aren't to scuffed)
TF2, the only game where you can pull off a conga with both friends and enemies
man this video is so great for new players and people who havent heard of tf2, it could easily make someone fall in love with the game
I hope you keep making more videos like this
I will :)
@@FourEyeFreak There's been a surge in the success and activity of TF2 in the CZcams community and I don't feel like it's stopping anytime soon. Over the past 2 and a half years many TF2 CZcamsrs have reached 100K and are now on their way to the 200K milestone. Hopefully you'll be joining their ranks soon!
I love this video, I love how Team Fortress 2 has impacted the internet along with my life, I started playing when I was around 17 or 18 and before that I could confidently say I was that tryhard guy but after playing TF2 for a while I learned that the best thing to do in games is don't take anything to seriously, and just have fun. Along with that, I decided to make this account inspired by the meme of Pootis Bird which is an Alt account btw and take the word Pootis along with me to games on VR into games like Gun Raiders where I made a thing for myself, Destiny 2, along with other games and spread happiness or maybe annoyance idk to other games to have fun and make friends. I love Team Fortress 2 and I feel that the day it dies is the day Valve pulls the plug.
1:07 so what I discovered is that in order to continuesly do it, you'll have to shift jump and shoot a rocket right before you land, u need to practice it alot to find your rythm
bro this video is amazing, and your summarry is exellent. great job !
wtffff under 200 subs. long form and well edited tf2 content is the best shit on youtube rn
I just thought of an idea for the community to fight the bots with other bots. Someone who can program can take my idea, but what if you raided random servers with "bot killer" bots that looked for "players" that would move in that stereotypical way a bot does, playing sniper, staring straight forward only moving towards the objective, and instantly snapping to heads, then call votes on those bots automatically and kick them.
I played this game literally since I was 5 years old back in 2008. My older cousin lended me a Steam account that had it bought on it and I ended up getting addicted to TF2 very young. Although it's obvious at 5 I would've sucked at it, I still played it and had a ton of fun on all kinds of servers, mostly Surf servers. I'm not lying when I say, despite most of my memories of it back then being very, very foggy, I still loved it to pieces and it was by-far one of the biggest influences on my childhood. From early childhood all the way to my mid-teens where I took a 2 year break, and then I started playing it again towards the end of my teens and I'm almost 20 years old today. It's insane to think how differently growing up would have been without TF2.
Very underrated video, nice one man.
Its is INSANE that this game has still living on despite the major issues like bots and cheaters being under the radar.
And yet the game is still alive to this day. Wont lie, I thought that 2020 bot infestation would be the day that the game lived its life but nope. Though it's not because the community laughed through that, it was a miserable time for the game.
It was nice of Valve to give the community an opportunity to make the summer update for them (though they did screw up by making them think it's a major update like the jungle inferno). And that update pretty much saved the game with vhs being official and the seal.
While the major updates and the golden days of tf2 is no longer with us, the game is still resilient to this day. I'll give it to Valve for at least listening and somewhat giving a bit of care to this game.
Team Fortress 2 is a masterpiece.
Este juego fue la infancia de muchos
alright nice, worth the click! hoping for your success fellow (now?) tf2ber
thanks, but I don't plan on becoming a tf2ber
I remember watching a lot TF2 SFM videos with my brother
but in some point we found out those videos are based on a game
and we rushed and downloaded it
I was so happy that day
*STAYS. TF2 will NEVER die.
You are underrated this video was amazing keep up the good work
YEEEEESSSSS ANOTHER FREAK FORTRESS ENJOYER!!!! God I used to play that gamemode more than the actual game xd, back when it was still good....
am a 15 year old boy, but i remember watching TF2 videos as early in my elementary school year. I specifically remember watching piemation's meet the spy and decided to watch all his videos. As soon as I got my first PC, the first game I downloaded was TF2. I still play it till this day and I hope Valve will work on this game even if it takes decades. TF2 will forever be one of my favorites of all time.
I was 12 when I got that game, that was over 10 years ago. I was utterly trash playing it, a lot of wm1 pyros, but now with over 7000 hours. Its just a timeless masterpiece. I have never felt that vibe with any other game. You can be using the most trash loadout while still murdering the best loadout. Its just amazing to see it get updated and youtubers getting into the game. Casual is not the best thing to start out when new, but its a great match to experience war crimes. Like a suicide bomber demoman with caber. I want to see more youtubers attempt to handle this game, its not rage inducing at all, its just a fun goofy game.
Two Fort Tea is one of those games where you don't "quit",
but rather "take extended vacation". You can say It's a,
~Vicious Cycle~
it's crazy how we have pretty similar time spent in the game (1.9k hrs for me) but have spent that time doing such different things, and learning different mechanics. spy is my least played, engie 2nd least played, both sitting tens of hours below my next class which is pyro.
ive spent so much time learning the ins and outs of stuff like the Scottish Resistance, the BISON, and all kinds of weapons.
you can get into this game being the most casual gamer around, or super competitive, and there are tons of play styles, and other players for you to engage with.
god damn i love tf2, it can consistently cheer me up when nothing else does. even though i find the community can get horrifically toxic at times, i've honestly used my time in the game to learn how to deal with people like that which is a bit of benefit.
I love games that dont need updates and have a dedicated fanbase like this, street fighter third strike, super smash bros melee, minecraft 1.8 lol, and a bunch of other obscure mmorpg's and discord fighters, they are all always really good
1:41 that minecraft demonic roar in cave ambient sound
Tf2 lives on for 3 reasons, it’s simple, they allow mods/custom servers, they found what’s balanced and what works and left it there they didn’t feel the need to innovate it’s way to irrelevancy
The story od tf2, a game that older than me (im dec. 2007) is the most wholesome story ever, tf2 has the strongest comunity ever. If no updates and bot infestation struck a game like Overwatch, it would be instantly dead, no change for them, valve should be happy they have their hands on such a beloved game.
I didnt even know about the games existence until like 2019 (i was playing a bot-free roblox version cuz i didnt have a Steam account until about the half of 2020), the game caught me imediately and i was only playing that besides bots
insane fucking video mate!
keep it up champ
thanks :)
I dont know how thisperson doesnt have 100000 subscribers already. This is amazing
I am the Spy, I am alive, I am proud of you guys. I would like to thank all TF2 players for playing our game. You are the most unique, loyal and inspriring video game community of all time. Thank you.
The Spy
Good video, and nice choice in music, touhou music is always a plus
I’m surprised Emplemon has never made a never ever on TF2, it’s so unique
This video is perfect for showing tf2 to my friends so they can learn better, i loved the video! keep it up!
Dear God may tf2 live on as the god of all multiplayer games as it is more goofy than anything and Gmod is great I love you all
bc of you. im instaling TF2 right now XD
how does this dude only have 760 subscribers (I genuinely thought he had at least a 100k)
Ahhhh good ol' reliable Team Fortress 2.
The only game where I can have almost 3 thousand hours invested into it and still find new ways to have _fun._
The only game where I'm allowed to have fun by just messing around, trying wack things and not blindly following the meta or tryharding the ranks.
It's the last bastion of casual games that still leaves a ton of room for competetive play for the community, game doesn't need official tournaments, community got their own.
It's more like in coma than "alive".
Good job on this video man
The word of the day is, *subjectivity* .
this deserves a like and a sub cuz you just inspired me and reminded me why tf2 has a special place in my soul
13:49 CHARGE NOW DOCTER!
Tip on rocket jumping: Jump, crouch then shoot the floor, whilst moving forward. Doesn't need to be quick, just before you hit the ground
the algorithm has blessed me again :)
I'm a complete sucker for Mann vs Machine
Especially modded maps and enemies in community servers
Underrated a lot
I was on Suijn casual in a 2v1 battle the other night. Just me fighting a heavy with a pocket medic for two hours. Flanking, sneaking, and picking off the medic. Dip back to health, then hurry in before the medic respawns. It was a boxing match and the most fun I have had on tf2 in months. That is how good this game is. If Steam ever abandons it, they need to open source this bad boy. Timeless.
1:20 THATS WHAT IM SAYIN *falls backwards on a chair *
Best shooter ever made
What Kept It Alive Without Constant Updates Is The Fanbase And Custom Servers
The protests worked! The game is playable! We’ve beaten the wave, but there is more work to be done.
I only started playing this year, but GOD, i LOVE tf2. Im glad that valve, even if they changed from update sized to holiday sized for this update, im glad they've finally given tf2 some recognition, as it goshdang deserves it! #saveTF2 is a bloody miracle, as it finally got some attention from valve, and i godamn agree that we need to #saveTF2!
Dude you deserve more subs
I joined tf2 in summer 2013 and i still dont know how to rocket jump either. Still playing to this day.
0:19 I'm literally playing ultrakill rn

long comment following: Story time
truly showing how much versatility and fun whilst both tryharding, silly strats happening simulatiously tf2 allows was shown to me once again yesterday.
i had named myself "feeding the alligators", queued for Mercenary Park and threw heavies lunchbox items into the alligator pit.
when the battle for the first point of mercenary Park arrived i was surprisingly politely being ignored by those deciding to play the game as intended. occasionally i was killed by a tryhard sniper or an f2p pyro that appearently didn't understand the memo. but in my eyes that was allright because i had fun doing dumbshit and listening to music whilst laugh taunting at the reptiles below.
soon after a player named "michael scott" joined and a few were to follow. at prime i had accumulated 3 heavies throwing the buffalo steak, the sandvich and the banana as well as two scouts shooting the Wrap assasins shrapnel ball and madmilk into the pit. all to act towards the cause of feeding the alligators.
i had a funny chat with one of the scouts, if the alligators would like the milk.
further into the progressing night i had decided to go T-posing and following enemy players like a ghost or guardian. on a Frontier match i had even made friends with an enemy engineer, pyro and spy. we were in the rooms under RED'd last spawn. the engineer had his teleporter exit there and i was T-posing and spinning on top of his dispenser. everyone using the teleporter politely ignored our little friendly convention. An ally sniper also T-posed and came to us. lastly, shortly before the last checkpoint was capped we even had our own observer-spy with the redtape recorder standing in the corner, occasionally doing high-fives.
after the round ended though the map of Pier was elected. I was assigned to RED and after a successful T-Posed flank i even met the same, now blue, engineer who replaced his dispenser so i may spin on it again and play fountain statue. respectfully he took his sentry out of range and together with a blue scout we enjoyed the nice landscape of Pier and chatted.
this story is to recap the beautiful picture of the silly and friendly side of this fps game. this is so nice about tf2 that with loads of techniques, skills and knowledge to master and accquire you can also do this when you get tired or stomped. and with this game being 16 years old i find it amazing that this spirit remained.
I still love how Freak Fortress has goddamn Koishi Komeiji lol
1:35
if you didn't hear "Let's fucking gooooo!" in your head, you're not a true TF2 fan.
I will play TF2 as long as the servers are breathing. 5,000 hours and counting.
10:12 "hey its me barney fro-"
almost 16 years later the game even almost 6 years without any major update its still alive
3:34 exactly as you said Merasmus my door closed what magic is this??!?!?
Tf2 will always hold a special place in our hearts even if we never played it. It was a game where we didnt need to get good in. And we were just there to have fun.
i feel like Ultrakill is going to be in the same boat as TF2 as a shooter game that survives for decades just because of how fun and unique it is
the bots were there long before the source code was leaked.
other tf2 players : i want unusual.
me : i want unusual to sell. the cheapest unusual is enough to get 14 thousand jarate's.
The fact that I still play a game that will be old enough to legally consent hits different when you realise the game is strving to death and has survived off of fan reserves alone..
ayo a new rising youtuber?
We are not dying,we are going to live forever
2700 hours of play here. I still can’t rocket Jump very well but slowly managed to pull some Market Gardening. I mean the game is fun. It felt like a perfect game that you’ll never going to see unfunny. There’s so many things happening at once to the point that you can laughs at it. Ragdolls are top quality. Not other video games comes to close at that. I mean did you ever see someone get launched to the orbit when getting killed by a Grenade in COD or BF? Ofcorse not. In TF2 everything can kills you, even yourself. You made your own Mistake and laughs about it. Unlike some characters that Blizzard removes self damage because it is “difficult to play the character in Overwatch”. Not to mentioned TF2 characters literally insults each other. No other games gonna do that to the extreme. TF2 just done it perfectly. Oh and TF2 characters personally just fits really well with their playstyles. So players are more attached and even more relate to the characters then other games. TF2 have freedom of gaming. Like seriously does other game these days allows you to have fun? TF2 can be purely free to play. You get free backpack slot on every smissmas, all weapons can be unlocks or by a random drop. Means you access to the game fully to play the game themselves. Though I still disagree on Valve removing Voice Lines for F2P to uses them. VC is fine but Voice Lines? Come on Medic having really hard time to see who’s getting hurt spam E atleast let them knows who needs help.
And yes, not other game allows you to throw piss at people or “milk” at people
Am i the only person searching for 10 rounds and meets bot every round and i still playing this game.
Steam takes a cut of every marketplace transaction. I’m sure that they have no intention of shutting the game down anytime soon
Im conviced that no matter what happens this game will always be one of rhe most played games on steam
Also Unlike Most Shooters Gameplay Is Diverse And Unlike Other Shooters With Classes Weapons Aren't Just Higher DPS = Better, Weapon Choice Matters.
Chaotic and friendly game
Tf2 is underrated mostly because its graphics, I have been playing tf2 since 2014 currently with 7k hours and its the best fps i ever played (great video +1 sub)
Underrated? Lol.
The game being able to run on toasters also help
@@vivelespatat2670 You must have the latest Bread Toaster 9000... the game is unoptimized and runs like ass.
God it is such a zoomer thing to say tf2 is underrated
7:40 is he holding the Warhammer of Zillyhoo?
I’m surprised unusual troubles wasn’t mentioned
Neato video keep up the good work :3
i love tf2
even though i don't play the game
i love the comunnity
i like seeing people playing
seing memes
and clips
It's hard to find bots rn so i think VALVe actually works on fixing that.
Now this is content 😌
TF2 stayed alive all this time by the power of friendship
stg i see these vids pop up every 5 months
The competitive scene is actually doing just fine and has been around for a decade
I was not expecting to hear a Touhou Hisouten OST in this video
Ok then
I’ve watched the memes before i played, I actually started in my sisters pc about 4-6 days ago and It sucks you have to get keys to get items, but that’s my only complaint
Would you believe me if I told you there was one wacky fun TF2 server to rule them all? It was called the Snack Shack. This. Server. Had. EVERYTHING! From having several unique variants of default maps that were either seasonal or just unique. Such as a version of 2Fort that is at night time or a player made halloween version of Granary called Granal Probe that would have ufos abduct players upon capturing a point (no, there was no actual probe but it was fun escaping.) There was edits of PL maps that would replace the payload with Thomas the tank engine or bread dog. One edit of hoodoo named "poodoo" would replace the bomb with a giant bowl of shit on wheels.
Then there was the deathrun maps. When I say this server had them all, I truly mean IT HAD THEM ALL. Including ones that are to this day lost to time. Such as Sawmill, Cube, Winterhill and Wintervalley, Adventure, etc.
Then there's the even wackier maps such as giant airhockey, an earthbound themed koth or capture point map, a ctf map where everyone is the size of an action figure in a neighborhood trying to steal the intelligence from eachother's houses. You could hide in mouse holes, between books and movies on the shelves, behind the wiimote, etc. There was a map where you play Jeopardy authentic to the actual show. There was a payload map that had the payload be an entire flying pirate ship. This meant the payload was a moving fortress almost reminiscent of Halo 3's elephant. And the defenders had to board it and battle the other team inside it.
I faintly remember playing an absolutely insane map where everyone was up on a stage that would travel to space and into another dimension while battling skeletons, trying to stay alive as long as possible. I can't remember if that was on this server or a different one.
One interesting signature of this server was the pixel themed maps. Such as a complete full remake of towns from pokemon in their authentic pixely style or completely unique maps that are megaman themed.
But what really made the snack shack stand out from other servers wasn't its unique sound replacements like playing Mario bros 3 music upon entering the server or the old spice theme whenever using a medical cabinet. But the freedom of mic usage. People could either play music or hilarious skits/sound effects over the mic without getting banned. Very rarely woukd this lead to chaos because you could always mute them if you didn't want to hear them. And the humor was almost completely uncensored. No political correctness. If a friendly fire arena round started, it would say "hide yo kids, hide yo wife." across the screen. If a vote for the next map was a tie, it would say "yall n***as are indecisive" across the screen. There was even a thing called Story time at the snackshack where people woukd tell hilarious yet sometimes fucked up stories over the mic. Often including TF2 characters or ones from other games/franchises. Many of them would also read disturbing copypastas or outlandish fanfics that were obviously the subject of ridicule if you couldn't tell by the guy's comical voice. I have so many memories of laughing super hard at the things they would do or say on that server. It's safe to say that this server absolutely made my childhood and I'm convinced it was the best server in any game of all time.
My friend got me into TF2, and I am happy that he did
Every weekend i play tf2 for 1-3 hours
Just because of the friendlies, chaos and everything
This game is gold
PURE GOLD
