Blogheads rise up! We're cutting through the malaise of this not-quite-standalone, not-quite-Steam transition period to tell you about the TF2C Mapping Community's new Custom Map Wednesdays. Custom map servers often fall victim to the tragedy of the commons. When confronted by a vote-list of 80...

Image from comptf2c.com, credit Güven It's been a minute! The process of getting TF2 Classic ready for Steam is involved and laborious. Or so I'm told from the team members actually doing it. I just write blog posts here. (Expect a more detailed Steam progress report soon!) Last summer, we...

It's the final day of The Double Down Update, but while the update is over, the update has just begun. While you strain a five-gigabyte packet through whatever poor overtaxed mirror is handling your download — get the update now, by the way — you can read about Day 4, featuring a new friend, a...

Orson Jenkins is often quoted as saying "don't come to the boss with a problem, son; come to him with a solution." While he never actually said this — the line was invented for his 1966 biopic Coal Street Money, wherein Jenkins is portrayed by Richard Harris — the sentiment still rings true, and...

Day 2 of The Double Down Update is here! Today, the Jenkins–Jenkins blood feud expands onto another new made-in-house map (and onto the pages of another dubious magazine). Also, a weapon teased in the trailer short is ready to be scrutinized, blindly theory-crafted about, and declared to be...

Business is a minefield. Not that Orson Jenkins would know (although you could have your legs blown off by anti-tank ordnance and still be a good deal taller than he is). He's spent years dodging bullets, juking knives poised over his back, and hiding in the back of his limousine crying, but...

Whoever said Discord was "the embodiment of chaos" and "a demigod of mischief and trickery" and "voiced by John de Lancie" may have been two-thirds onto something. That said, Discord is also a great tool for community organization — something we struggled (and failed) to spotlight in our...

Pull through, blogheads! It's time for another feature, eleventh hour be damned. Renaissance Revival Version 2.1 Last month's spotlight, the Renaissance Revival pack, has gotten an update! Dozens of new staves, glaives, and other fantasy-historical weapons await you (as long as you install the...

Hi, blog readers! We admire your loyalty to these legacy-style online newsletters, instead of getting your TF2C news from Twitter posts, or 11-minute recap videos, or AI-written summaries of 11-minute recap videos. In fact, we've got just the thing for old souls like you. Renaissance Revival 2...

Sorry — we were so busy releasing a mid-size update with sweeping map changes, readability and accessibility improvements, and long-awaited weapon rebalances, that we forgot to do April's community roundup until just now. Don't worry: everyone who wasted their time on the update has been fired...

Strap in, this one's a double feature. "Team Fort Two Classic" Courtesy of Andres/quarterlydime (and featuring some fell minion of theirs named Merchant), another clip show! Where aplsed's endeavor in January was a showcase of slick, whip-smart editing, "Team Fort Two Classic" follows more in...

Golden Art-Studio's level designer Asdf1308 makes us look like chumps. Back in March, we talked a big game about how our pre-release ideas for GRN and YLW base architecture were awkward, un-grounded, and not congruous with the TF2 aesthetic. In spite of this, 4Walls (download there!) proudly...

Video games as a social experience, to be had with strangers in a bustling public server, is so... last-decade. Stellar gameplay be damned, a modern team shooter is soul-achingly lonely, except for your horrible Discord call and your horrible, horrible friends. "TF2C Shenanigans" is a tailwind...
