Every map involved holding points, capturing briefcases or, (also new) pushing a Fat Man in a railroad cart into enemy territory. When it first debuted with the Orange Box in 2007, no deathmatch mode existed in Team Fortress 2. Objective-Based Conflict A prize too great for one man alone. From the start, Valve's objective with TF2 was to create a multiplayer shooter where cooperation would always lead to a team that is better than the sum of its parts. The "Team" in Team Fortress 2 is there for a very good reason. It was also commonly used for cross-promotions and pre-ordering bonuses with other video games, typically through Steam, offering new weapon designs and cosmetic items themed after the promoted title. Many new Steam features were first tested via Team Fortress 2, including achievements, cloud saving, item trading, microtransactions, a community marketplace for items, Steam Workshop functionality, free-to-play support, Steam Trading Card support, Steam Play support, and VR headset support. The Steam version of the game has seen numerous post-release updates since release, adding a large variety of new game modes, maps, weapons, cosmetic items, and gameplay mechanics. Certain gameplay mechanics are also more refined, simplifying all class loadouts while removing reliance on grenades and bunny hopping. Unlike the previous installment, Team Fortress 2 sports a cartoony CGI appearance influenced by both mid-twentieth-century Americana and 1960's spytech (after several lengthy development cycles involving realistic modern-military combat and futuristic alien invasions). The long-awaited sequel to the original Quake modification "Team Fortress" (and its standalone update, Team Fortress Classic), players join one of two teams (RED and BLU) as one of nine playable classes, each with their own unique traits and assortment of gear, as they fight over a variety of objectives including capturing briefcases, holding "control points", and pushing large warheads on rail carts. The Steam version of the game later became free-to-play on June 23, 2011.

The ported game was called Team Fortress Classic and despite the overwhelming success of TFC the promised sequel, Team Fortress 2, slipped off the radar completely - with many condemning it to the realms of vapourware just like Duke Nukem Whenever.Team Fortress 2 is a multiplayer team-based first-person shooter developed and published by Valve for the PC (via Steam) on October 10, 2007. Of course, that never happened because in 1999 the Team Fortress team joined Valve and ported the game to the GoldSRC engine as an official Half-Life 1 mod.
