Team Fortress 2

Team Fortress 2 is a multiplayer first-person shooter video game released by Valve in 2007, featuring two teams of cartoonish mercenaries competing in objective-based modes.

The game is known for its distinctive visual style, class-based gameplay with nine character types, and robust hat-collecting economy.

It pioneered the free-to-play model for major games and remains active: I've got 3,000 hours in TF2.

Often abbreviated TF2.
