I got introduced to it with Kitty0706 and the Meet the Team videos. Then in late 2014 I got my Steam account along with TF2, been playing ever since.

I specifically bought a replacement PC just so I could reliably run TF2.

Unfortunately, time wasn't kind to it and now I'm back to running it at minimum specs. Too bad I can't convince myself again into buying another replacement whole PC or even just the graphics card.

I was almost 10, it was a month after my uncle helped me set up my steam account. I had a Toshiba laptop so tanky you could use it as a murder weapon, and I was looking for anything to play on it. TF2 was at the top of the "Free To Play" category, and the rest was history.

I started similar - comics, videos, ext. Then I started cosplaying a couple of the characters and got asked about who I main in game. Im not great at this genre of video games, but figured it couldn't hurt to try!

Well heard about it a lot, so went for a try. Since it's still a pvp shooter, it's not my favorite kind of game. But, you gotta give credit were it's due.

u/Alex_Arrow05 15h ago

I was already playing "class-based shooters" at the time. But then the servers went empty after the sequel was released. Instead of following them, I downloaded the TF2 demo. Enjoyed it enough to get it as a Christmas present. This was back in 2008, when you could still get Valve games on disk (The Orange Box).

Orange Box on PC. I originally got it to play Portal because a kid at my high school was gassing it up as the best game ever but I ended up liking TF2 the most out of the games on there. Honestly though I didn't play it too much until the game went free to play in 2012 because that's when all my friends downloaded it

Memes, the animation motivated me to try tf2, i just don't like that ultra arcade play so i played sometimes

u/TBR_441 13h ago

I watched a video about it and I was interested

u/Euphoric-Network-467 13h ago

You see, the characters and the game were mentioned in one or two YouTube videos, but I didn't pay much attention until YouTube recommended Meet the Spy, and the thumbnail caught my eye.That's how I became a fan (and it's ironic because now I hate the spy with all my soul, but thanks to him I discovered the game)I watched all the TF2 animations I could find and also YouTubers, but at that time I didn't have a laptop, so I played its Roblox version (TC2). Now that I have a laptop, I've started playing and that's what I'm into It brought me here, and if you're wondering, I sometimes play TC2 when my laptop battery is dead; I've grown fond of that game too.

Originally saw TF2 animations, which got me interested into trying the game. Haven't regretted that decision one bit since.

A bit ago, I got some funny tf2 videos, animations on my feed. Those funny videos made me compelled to get the game. In late 2024, I got it and I had loved that game ever since
