It is distributed online through Valve's digital retailer Steam, with Electronic Arts managing retail and console editions. It was released as a standalone game for Windows in April 2008, and updated to support Mac OS X in June 2010 and Linux in February 2013. The game was released in October 2007 as part of The Orange Box for Windows and the Xbox 360, and ported to the PlayStation 3 in December 2007.
It is the sequel to the 1996 Team Fortress mod for Quake and its 1999 remake, Team Fortress Classic. "We're getting feedback from several hundred-thousand people on how to make better social action games that we wouldn't have gotten without TFC.Team Fortress 2 is a 2007 multiplayer first-person shooter game developed and published by Valve Corporation. The development of TFC may have set the release date of TF2 back a bit (it's currendy slated for fall), but Newell says it also gave the team an opportunity to make TF2 a much better product. For example, the heavy-weapons guy is loaded down with artillery, but he moves much slower-markedly so, when firing-than the lighter-armed scout or spy. The weapons and character-specific skills are also different depending on which of the nine classes you select, you'll be armed according to your skills and responsibilities. First off, TFC uses the Half-Life engine, so it looks great. In addition to the mass variety of modes, differences between original TF and TFC abound. How about six maps and several different team modes from Capture the Flag (including Two Fortresses and an excellent rendition of the well-balanced Quake TF map, 2Forts) to football (similar to Quake's Kick mod) to escort/ assassination and more. The TFC mod contains near-limitless team-play possibilities. Plus, it gives Half-Life mod authors a lot of motivation." TEAMING WITH ACTION "It was also a great way to help keep the Half-Life multiplayer community growing by leaps and bounds, and to help us test the Half-Life software. "Prior to shipping TF2, TFC was the best way we could think of to say to people 'Check out this type of game-it's a lot of fun,"' Newell says. Gabe Newell, managing director and co-founder of TFC and TF2 developer Valve, says the release of TFC will help introduce gamers to the team play they feel is critical to multiplayer gaming.
