Gameplay
History
Team Fortress 2's earliest predecessor is Team Fortress, a multiplayer mod based on the first-person shooter Quake that was designed by John Cook, Ian Coughley, and Robin Walker in 1996. After the team was acquired by Valve Corporation in 1999, Team Fortress became Team Fortress Classic, which was a mod based on the Half-Life Software Development Kit. Valve then created the sequel known as Team Fortress 2 and released it in 2007. Team Fortress 2 came as a big shock to many Team Fortress Classic players, as the art style was drastically different. Using simple cartoon figures instead of dirty military figures, players approved of the new Team Fortress and it quickly grew in popularity.
