Saying TF2 is old in terms of lifespan is a joke, particularly when comparing it another well-known Valve title, Counter-Strike, which has been continuously played and updated since about 1999-2000. It doesn't matter how old it is, it's still attracting players and making money for Valve. And it's still fun to play.
- danso 14y agoDon't know if you're agreeing with me or misreading me. TF2 is five years old. There have been (at least) 2 full games in between Halo 3 and 4 in the same time span and probably five in the Call of Duty series. So TF2 is exceptionally long in the tooth for a money-making shooter. Which is great. Counterstrike is also another anomaly...but is it a game that Valve is putting in real resources to update? Maybe I should've said, TF2 is a relatively old for a first-person shooter that is still being actively supported. Hell, they're letting their in-house economist study it. That's pretty good support in itself.
- trafficlight 14y agoBut the TF2 of 2012 is nowhere near the game that TF2 2006 was. Valve has poured a ton of time and money into continual development of the game and content.
- officemonkey 14y agoIf anything, TF2 is more fun to play NOW then it was back when it was first released. New weapons are very balanced and new maps are well-designed. Even the cosmetic items (which don't add value to the game) are beautiful.
