Never in my however many years of playing video games has a game caught my attention like TF2. The memories I've made playing TF2 are truly unrivaled, and I have much to thank them for.

TF2 was my first proper introduction to multiplayer shooters, trading, all while harboring a festering desire of mine to become truly great at the game. A feat which I'm yet to surpass, well over 1000 hours into the game. The influence held by this game is so immense, and I have nothing but the utmost level of respect and disdain towards valve for creating a near perfect shooter while simultaneously ignoring and allowing the game to go unloved.

A masterpiece of a class based shooter which deserves much praise for all that it has accomplished within the 15 years it has been alive and kicking.
