A decade in the making, long-awaited mod Team Fortress 2 Classic has a new name and a release date following Valve clash
Team Fortress 2 stands alongside Half-Life and Portal as one of the foundational pillars of Steam itself. But perhaps it could have looked rather different. Formerly known as Team Fortress 2 Classic, a mod built by community team Eminoma is attempting to capture Valve's iconic FPS game based on "its original inspirations and tone," complete with weapons inspired by the game's pre-release oferrings and some all-new features of its own. After seeing its Steam launch delayed thanks to concerns around the name, it's now been rebranded as Team Fortress 2 Classified, and it's officially coming out in January.
