Team Fortress (TF) is a team- and class-based multiplayer online first-person shooter video game mod based on id Software's Quake Engine, and later QuakeWorld Engine. Team Fortress, also known as Quake Team Fortress (QTF), and later QuakeWorld Team Fortress (QWTF), was designed and written by Robin "Bro" Walker, John "Jojie" Cook, and Ian "Scuba" Caughley in 1996. Because of its popularity, it has spawned an endless amount of mods for not only Team Fortress, but other games as well. Valve took an interest in the Team Fortress Software organization and hired the three creators to work on a Team Fortress Half-Life mod, and later a standalone version called Team Fortress Classic (TFC), released in 1999. A standalone sequel to Team Fortress Classic, Team Fortress 2 (TF2), was developed by Valve and released in 2007.

To this day, some people still participate in Team Fortress servers. Team Fortress has also spawned several mods replicating its formula for other games, namely Quake III Fortress, Enemy Territory Fortress, Quake 4 Fortress and Unreal Fortress.

Note: "Team Fortress" is also the name of the overall series of games.

Gameplay

Team Fortress has a high emphasis on teamwork and cooperation involving two teams (red and blue), with nine classes on each team. Some maps have an extra two teams (yellow and green); later games in the series, such as Team Fortress 2, only include a red team and a blue team. The players battle each other to complete objectives in game modes like Attack/Defend and Capture the Flag.

Team Fortress has these ten classes available to each team:

Most popular maps

Official maps have never been made for this mod, but the community has picked the best custom maps and made an unofficial "map list". Nearly all of the gamemodes in the rest of the Team Fortress series of games have their origins in unofficial Team Fortress maps. The most popular maps are:

Lasting maps

When Valve hired the developers of Team Fortress to work on Team Fortress Classic, the developers recreated a few of the maps that were made for the original Team Fortress mod. Specifically, they recreated 2Fort and Well. These maps eventually were remade for Team Fortress 2.
