Team Comtress 2 is a fork of an older version of Team Fortress 2, with a community development team fixing bugs, improving performance, and adding quality of life features, with the goal of having those changes pulled upstream by Valve to the modern game.
- TC2 is not a "pro mod"
While much of the work in TC2 will improve the competitive experience, TC2 does not touch gameplay, balance, or competitive rules.
- TC2 is not a vision for the "good old days" of TF2
TC2 will not feature game design changes, gameplay additions, or almost any form of new content. If you're looking for this kind of content, Team Fortress 2 Classic is more up your alley.
- TC2 is not the modern game, with new content/updates
You're looking for Creators.TF.
- TC2 is not an alternative, more stable game experience
TC2 is based on the 2017 TF2 source code leak, which contained an in-development version of Jungle Inferno. This build is rife with issues and incomplete features, and is not compatible with the modern game client.
- Report bugs that exist in live TF2 or TC2 through the issues page.
- Bugs that are present in modern TF2 but are not present in TC2 cannot be fixed in this project.
- Suggest quality of life improvements (not balance changes) through the issues page.
- These changes should not affect gameplay, and should be unanimously desired.
- Install TC2 and play the game to test stability, bugfixes, and performance.
- As a separate game, you cannot play normal TF2 matchmaking. You can only connect to TC2 servers.
- Information about multiplayer playtests can be found on our Discord server.
New users should follow this approach.
