Team Fortress Classic

This game has aged quite poorly. TFC the Balance of TFC is quite poor and the game is rather jank. Most classes aren't worth playing as they either can't do enough damage or don't fill a useful enough role to the team to make them worth playing. I found myself exclusively playing soldier as him and Heavy were really the only two most reliable ways of doing damage. Shotguns are useless, the scout has no useful weapons, I don't even know how the medic works in the game. If this game were free to play I could see the novelty of checking it out for the curiosity to see how Team Fortress evolved but as a $5 game, I just don't think it's worth it.

I think the second ones better but its nice to see what we used to have.

It's just so... bad. people REALLY played THIS before TF2..?

Its VERY FUN

although not as good as 2, tfc is good game

So this is Team Fortress Classic?
Pretty fun. Not as inactive as people say.

great game better then tf2 id say

great game once you get into it

firs lobby i joined was a lobby with a groomer trying to groom my buttcheeks.
not even lying bro

played the 2007 version for almost 10 years but i have never touched this one and didn't know this was the very first team fortress game to ever release. bots was toxic but who cares

This game is just a waste of money. I'm sorry valve but I want a REFUND

i play alot of tf2 and saw manny videos of gameplay of this game witch i whatch most of the time when im bored tfc videos so i downloaded this five dollar game its basickly red vr blue hl one deathmatch and i think that tf2 is way better if you are saving up for this game then buy it but if you dont like it then what ever the only main problem is that spy dosent have 15 second invis and you can back stab but you have to really aim it to hit one out of ten this games like a 5.6/10

this game can be really fun to play if you dont get shit on

Classic game back then when it was relevant.

They hailed me as a hero but those i had killed thought of me as despicable

no longer am i sure who is right

Only a few servers are active but it is pretty fun when you can find one.

Alr game

📜 Overview
Team Fortress Classic (TFC), released in 1999 by Valve, is a class-based multiplayer first-person shooter (FPS) and a remake of the original Team Fortress mod for Quake. It laid the foundation for modern class-based shooters, featuring nine unique classes, each with distinct roles and abilities, and objective-based gameplay modes like Capture the Flag and Control Points. Though it has been overshadowed by its successor, Team Fortress 2, TFC remains a nostalgic favorite for its fast-paced action and pioneering design.

🌟 Pros
✅ Class-Based Gameplay – The nine classes, each with unique weapons and abilities, encourage teamwork and strategic play.
✅ Fast-Paced Action – The game’s movement and combat are quick and fluid, offering an adrenaline-pumping experience.
✅ Objective-Based Modes – Modes like Capture the Flag and Control Points emphasize teamwork and strategy over pure deathmatch gameplay.
✅ Nostalgic Appeal – For many players, TFC is a beloved classic that brings back memories of early online multiplayer gaming.
✅ Modding Community – The game has a dedicated modding community that has created custom maps, modes, and tweaks over the years.

⚠️ Cons

❌ Steep Learning Curve – New players may struggle to learn the nuances of each class and the game’s fast-paced gameplay.

Playing this and listening to Jumpstyle ahh songs gives you insane vibes

Tip: Try Not To Die

best game. I like engineer gaming so much. thank u valve. thisgame is sosososo good, that's why there is so many people in public. I mention that there is about ~0,000000001625% of all humanity in this game evereyday, so this is enough for me, because I am in this numberz!)) I can see my mgebros in every game i played. killshot is nice man)

This game and tf2 are both good, but ive played this one more so idk

I frickin’ love it!

this game is bad! :D

i joined a sever and the first thing i see is Sonic the hedgehog shooting someone in the face

Its nice to see the evolution of Team Fortress even tho its only 2 games
Got some of the maps that are in tf2, and uses the same engine as half life (GoldenSrc)

Pretty cool

fucking epic

as i fan of Half LIfe, i could say this is top tier in my opinion. really good game!

There is all ways some one before you who sets stepping stones that you walk on. People could not get enough of Half Life that Value experimented with their source engine to make different games and modes . One of these game modes was Team Fortress. This bad boy break into the ground work of all them team based shooters. Not the 1st one, but a popular one at the time. You can play as 9 different classes to complete you goal. Having played TF2 I can say that about half the classes hold up like heavy , pryo or enginy. Although people like Medic , spy or demo are horrible to play in my opinion. This game to me is a rough draft of what it would become in the future with TF2 . Like playing on 2 fort is graphically extremely different, but map layout is the same so you can get around pretty easy. You can use the crowbar as melee weapon just like in Freeman. There is still a Dedicated fan base who still plays this classic game if you want to try it out. I just can’t find my self playing it when I have TF2. This game sure did leave the stepping stone for future generations to walk forward. Just know this one is a bit Rougher than it’s sequel. 5/10

HELP ME..... THE PETER ALERT IS COMING TO GET ME!!!!!!

wow

Aged like cheese sorry.......

i usually play as scout but it is a good game i arguably like this more than tf2

Harder to learn than its sequel, but quite fun once you get the hang of everything.

Its good and ''𝒞𝓁𝒶𝓈𝓈𝒾𝒸''

Good

gold

Where is the fortress?

Good game for those who enjoy old fps games

Good game but no one plays it.

team fortress 2 but old and also bad but sort of good? idk medic is just scout but better

Good, but b-hop/immense straffing is annoying and i got banned on a *Really* popular server for no reason, Also theres alot of bots (DON'T WORRY THEY ARE NOT THE BOTS YOU ARE THINKING OF)

gets super boring and hard to play after a bit

I love this game!!!! A classic of classics. Ideal to entertain yourself for several hours and have a good time.

Its good but just play fortress forever because its free.

This game is good for collecting only, but is good.

I've only played this game for a handful of times, but heres my opinion. I think its a okay game at best. if you are a hardcore TF2 nerd this game would be for you. Its nothing really special other than all of the servers are dead with basically no people. The only game modes I found were the bot servers. (Well no duh the games dead and old, there would be no active players). For $5 this game is not worth it in my opinion. I would buy this game if it came in a bundle with another game( I got the half-life bundle) I think its a nice addition to the bundle, but not a very good game alone.

The server browser is a fun time, find the weirdo quirky games that only exist in the minds of the few. I have a mind of the many, the many that live on within me and my family. I love my family. I hope the best for all of them, even when I sometimes pretend not to.

its a great way to look at how tf2 and tfc are still tf.

how spy can deadring, spy can fake their death.
(i would write more, but idc tbh)

Gameplay feels nice, but is a dead game
6/10
