I've been posting some stuff to this community to help seed content, and in doing so I got into the right mood to boot up TF2 again. Having over 3700 hours in the game, I can confidently say there's nothing else quite like it.

I'm rusty as hell, of course, but that doesn't even matter; this game has a unique atmosphere on most pubs and community servers where you don't need to be super good to enjoy yourself and messing around is encouraged, which is a rarity in a lot of modern titles. The problems that weigh the game down still make me sad, as they always have (lack of dev support, rampant cheaters on public lobbies, quite a few weapons being relegated to the trash bin because they're simply bad, default graphics settings being pretty horrible and needing a config to tighten them up), but the community is still here and I find that endearing.

I've been playing TF2 since 2007, and I can tell you it never gets old. The only problem is that every 3 years I have to get a new computer, because somehow this game finds a way to get crappy fps even on modern hardware. Other than that, TF2 is the only game I currently Play,and I can have fun either playing full try-hard mode, or super casual about it as well. Hope this game and this community continues to exist for a long time.

I've been using mastercomfig for some years, and it's kept the game both looking good and high performance. Check it out, it might help!

I already use masterconfig. It definitely helps, but the fps will still go down on servers with 24 people full of fancy unusuals and crazy items.

Good luck then!
