Although Team Fortress 2 has no story mode or singleplayer, the storyline and backstory of the game has been revealed through several comics, Meet the Team videos, and major updates, specifically the Halloween Update of October 2009 (and the Halloween Update of October 2010), the WAR! Update of December 2009, the Engineer Update of July 2010, and the Australian Christmas Update of December 2010. Hidden links in these pages as well as the examination of the Team Fortress 2 comic book pages contribute various dates in the Team Fortress 2 timeline.

1850年

Team Fortress 2'のバックストーリーは1850年、イギリス人資産家のゼフェニア・マンから始まります。

後のマン・カンパニー(Mann Co.)として知られるマン&サンズ・ミューニションズ・コンサーンズ(Mann & Sons Munitions Concerns)のオーナーであり創立者であるマンは、軍需産業拡大のため二人の息子、ブルタークレドモンドと共にアメリカへと進出しました。しかしアメリカに到着した時、グラベルピット(Gravel Pit)ダストボウル(Dustbowl)の土地が使いものにならないことを知ります。その上ゼフェニアは多数の病気にかかり死んでしまいました。そして彼の遺言状からTeam Fortress 2の物語は動き始めます。

ゼフェニア・マンの遺言状

しかめっ面で聡明な使用人エリザベスには資産・プランテーション・土地の全てを、逞しいオーストラリア人の側近バルナバ・ヘイルにはマン&サンズ・カンパニーを与えました。また“まぬけ”な息子(ブルタークとレドモンド)には使いものにならない土地を与え、双方が納得する形で折半するよう命じました。最後にゼフェニアはファミリーの肖像写真から欠けた未知の人物に重要な義務を与えました。この取り決めに納得しない息子達はそれぞれ相手を殺して土地を自分の物にするため傭兵団を組織しています。なおファミリーの肖像写真にはサイラス・マン(Silas Mann)も写っていたことが明らかとなっています。

争いの始まり

オリジナルのBLUチーム

オリジナルのREDチームは不明ですが、オリジナルのBLUチームは1800年代半ばから後半の有名な歴史上の人物達です(その多くは同時には生存していません)。チームはビリー・ザ・キッド(初代スカウト), ストーンウォール・ジャクソン(初代ソルジャー), エイブラハム・リンカーン(初代パイロ), アルフレッド・ノーベル(初代デモマン), ジョン・ヘンリー(初代ヘビー), ニコラ・テスラ(初代エンジニア), ジークムント・フロイト(初代メディック), デヴィー・クロケット(初代スナイパー), フー・マンチュー(初代スパイ)で構成されていました。REDチームとBLUチームはそれぞれがマン兄弟の為に相手チームの壊滅と土地の奪取を試み、そして長期の膠着状態へと入りました。

1890年

危険人物

ラディガン・コナーはブルタークの要求を受け入れる

40年後、ブルタークとレドモンドは今なお勝利なき戦争を継続していました。老衰によって死期が近づくブルタークはエンジニアのラディガン・コナー(Radigan Conagher)を呼び寄せ、“俺を怪物にしろ”と機械による延命を要求。ラディガンはそれを受け入れました。しかしその後エリザベスの子孫(恐らく娘)がラディガンに接触し、レドモンドにも延命装置を与えるよう依頼。ラディガンはこれも受け入れました。

彼女は報酬として100ポンドのオーストラリウム(オーストラリアでのみ見つかる強力な力を持った元素。この力によって無知で野蛮な国家がテレポーテーション及びクローキング技術を開発する程の科学的進歩を遂げた)を支払い、ラディガンはそれにより素晴らしい知能を手に入れました。その後、彼はブルタークとレドモンド(そして3人目の未知の人物)のための延命装置を開発しました。

1968年

The modern war

Team Fortress 2 takes place in 1968. Nine individuals - the Scout, the Soldier (real name Jane Doe), the Pyro, the Demoman (real name Tavish DeGroot), the Heavy, the Engineer (real name Dell Conagher), the Medic, the Sniper (real name Mundy), and the Spy - are recruited by Reliable Excavation & Demolition (RED) and Builders League United (BLU) to continue Redmond and Blutarch's never-ending war to seize their father's land. A descendant of Elizabeth, named Helen, now acts as the Administrator of the battle, secretly overseeing both teams, something the Mann siblings are likely unaware of. Additionally, Saxton Hale, a descendant of Zepheniah Mann's friend Barnabus, to whom he gave Mann & Sons Munitions Concerns, is now in charge of Mann Co., which acts as a subsidary of the Administrator's shadowy company, TF Industries.

Recent developments

The Administrator

The first major plot event occurs when the RED Demoman and BLU Soldier meet and become friends at an explosives convention, which severely angers the Administrator. With the help of Saxton Hale, she misleads both men into thinking the other is trying to kill them, sparking a bloody war. The next major event occurs when Blutarch Mann realizes his life support machine is breaking. He desperately calls in the BLU Engineer, the grandson of Radigan Conagher, to fix it. Later, Saxton Hale discovers the Internet (which notably did not exist in the 1960s) and uses it to open the online Mann Co. Store for players to purchase weapons and items.

幾つかの謎

パイロの正体

The Pyro's identity has been the subject of much debate since the game's release. As the Pyro is one of two classes to not yet receive a Meet the Team video (the other being the Medic), little is known about his or her personality and history. Up until the Engineer Update, a popular theory claimed the Pyro was a woman (and thus, the only female class), in large part because of a frilly flower handbag in the Pyro's locker. Additional evidence supporters note include the Pyro's feminine humiliation stance, the Director's Vision taunt, and domination lines from other classes that use derogatory female terms.

However, with the release of the Engineer Update, much speculation has revolved around the idea that Abraham Lincoln, the original 1850s Pyro, is still alive in the role. Three aspects of the update are used as evidence:

  • Abraham Lincoln was the original Pyro in the 1850s.
  • Schematics on Radigan Conagher's workbench depict a contraption in which a seated man with a beard and top hat is dropped through a trap door and teleported to a desert location. An image of the penny (on which Lincoln is depicted) and the letters "LIN..." are nearby. Some have suggested this schematic may depict a way in which Lincoln survived his assassination by John "Tower of Hats" Booth.
  • Radigan Conagher built a third life extending machine for an unknown individual. While some have cited the machine's construction date of April 14 (the day Lincoln was assassinated) as evidence, Conagher could not have built the third machine until at least 1894, the year he built Redmond and Blutarch's devices. An explanation for Lincoln's possible survival is provided above.

遺言状の受取人

Zepheniah Mann left an important task to an unknown person in his last will and testament. The line reads "Lastly to [obscured] I leave the entirety of my [obscured] and swear you to utmost secrecy in its keeping." This person's identity has not yet been revealed, but cannot be Redmond, Blutarch, Barnabus Hale, or Elizabeth, as all are mentioned in his will already. The person is likely the individual seen scratched out of the Mann family portrait, whose identity is also unknown.

三台目の延命装置

After building Blutarch Mann a life extending machine on July 17, 1894, and a second for Redmond Mann on August 3, 1894, Radigan Conagher built a third machine on April 14 of an unknown year. The recipient of this machine is a source of speculation. Some have suggested Abraham Lincoln, the original Pyro (see above), due to the fact that it was built on the day he supposedly died, while others have theorized the unnamed descendant of Elizabeth who enlisted Radigan to make the devices in the first place may have requested one for herself, and is Helen, the current Administrator. Still, others hypothesized that it was this unknown recipient from Zepheniah Mann's last will that have received this life extending machine.
