Team Fortress 2 features a global messaging system, which allows Valve to send notifications to all in-game players at once. These are referred to as system messages. The system has been used in the past, and is used today, for a variety of events including but not limited to:

A system message can appear in both the text chat area and the notifications area, and certain messages are accompanied by a sound effect.
