Hopped into Team Fortress 2 for really the first time in probably two years a couple days ago.
First of all, got matchmade into a 2FORT CTF game because of course I did. What else should I have expected.
Second of all, oh. my. god. what has happened to this beautiful visual design what is even going on what are these weapons is this stuff cosmetic or what.
After five minutes of feeling lost and useless had slipped back into my medic instincts like I'd never left. Was downing people with the blutsager, saw people clearly not knowing what to do with a medic switching off a heal to saw down a spy or scout, was climbing up the scoreboard like nothing. Switched over to Demoman because we had nothing for offense and after a few minutes on that was back into him, sentries were no longer being allowed to be placed in open locations or near walls I could use, this one soldier was entirely flabbergasted by me detonating stickies in mid-air especially if they came out as crits, which I used to use all the time. Then I bottled him for good measure. It was like when I visited DoD:S briefly a few years ago for some reason and got tore up but then suddenly my BAR/STG44 had shaken the dust off and there were bodies to be dropped.
Then I got a bunch of XP at the end. Ha! XP! Towards cosmetic rewards and a crate! Oh, Team Fortress 2. We'll always have the class update days I suppose.
Maybe I'll play some more if I play any Overwatch and feel totally useless to the team no matter what I do, no matter what accolade I get or even involvement in PLAY OF THE GAME. (It is kinda odd that many "infamous" Overwatch people don't seem to have been TF2ers? They came from DOTA or something instead. Maybe it's just ones I'm familiar with.)
Almost ten years old. October 10, 2007. So it's been out longer than it was in development!
