Team Fortress is a series of team- and class-based multiplayer online first-person shooter games, initially designed by university students John Cook and Robin Walker and later developed by Valve. The series places a high emphasis on teamwork and cooperation to complete objectives by two competing teams of players selected from nine classes, each fulfilling a different role in the team's ranks.
Team Fortress
Released in August 1996, Team Fortress is a game mod based on id Software's Quake engine. The first iteration of Team Fortress, also known as Quake Team Fortress (QWTF) and QuakeWorld Team Fortress (QTF), was designed and written by Robin Walker, John Cook, and Ian Caughley. An update to the game was released in December 1996, which was instead based on the QuakeWorld engine.
Team Fortress Classic
Team Fortress Classic is a remake of the Team Fortress mod for Quake. It was released in May 1999 as a free addition to Half-Life. A standalone version was released on Valve's Steam system in 2003. The development of Team Fortress Classic was led by John Cook and Robin Walker, the designers of the original Team Fortress mod. It retained much of the original gameplay from Team Fortress but was powered by Valve's GoldSrc engine instead of QuakeWorld.
Team Fortress 2
Team Fortress 2, the successor to Team Fortress and Team Fortress Classic, was developed by Valve as part of the game compilation The Orange Box and released in 2007 for game consoles and computers via Steam. It sports a cartoon-like visual style and greatly expands on the gameplay found in its predecessors. Although the abilities of some classes have changed from earlier Team Fortress incarnations, the basic elements of each class have remained unchanged. The Steam release of Team Fortress 2 adopted a free-to-play model in June 2011, with all revenue originating either from microtransaction payments of items in the Mann Co. Store or fees charged for buying items in the Steam Community Market, which opened in beta on December 12, 2012.
