Casual Mode is an official game mode released for Team Fortress 2. The mode replaced Quickplay after the Meet Your Match Update.

In Casual Mode, you are preferably sent to a game that is in the setup phase, and to a server hosted in the location nearest to you. You are matched into any game that fits these two criteria, however, the game may not fit these criteria (may be hosted in a foreign country/may be already in progress) if availability is limited. Additionally, in Casual Mode, you are allowed to filter which map/s you would like to play in. The division is first split into "Core Game Modes" and "Alternative Game Modes". In Core Game Modes, this can then be filtered down to Attack/Defense, Capture the Flag, Control Points (eg 5 CP), King of the Hill, and Payload. In Alternative Game Modes, this can then be filtered down to Payload Race, Misc (miscellaneous, games that fit into a category by themselves), Mannpower and PASS Time. In each of these subcategories, the maps can be further filtered out individually. At this current stage, some maps are missing, such as CTF Well.

In Casual Mode, you can start or join a "Party", in which you can be a member of a temporary group consisting of 6 players maximum. This group of people will travel to servers simultaneously, and will result in all players playing on the same team if it successfully connects to a server. After a game ends, the team will still be together. It will only be disbanded once everyone quits. Previously, games that friends were in could be joined by pressing "Join Game" on their Steam Profile. This is no longer possible in Casual Mode, however it is possible in Community Servers.

In Casual Mode, you aesthetically level up, gaining experience points from victories and points scored in-game, of any type. There are 150 levels, with each level requiring more experience than the last. Each level changes the image on your "Coin", which is visible in the top left while selecting/loading a Casual game. These levels are first divided into six stages, Civilian, Freelance, Mercenary, Commando, Assassin and Elite. Each of these stages consists of 25 ranks, with Civilian being the lowest stage, and Elite being the highest stage. Each stage also changes the color of your Coin, ranging from light blue to rich red. Within each of the stages, there are another five stages consisting of five types of Coins. In the first of the stages, you are given a plain Coin. Leveling up to five individual levels within this stage will add one star at a time (starting from one) onto your Coin. Every five levels obtained will gain you more accessories for your Coin, but will reset the star-count to one. After 25 levels, the system will reset, but the Coin will become a different color.

July 8, 2016 Patch

  • Removed the abandonment penalty.
  • Players are only required to have a single mode selected before queuing.

July 14, 2016 Patch #1

  • Fixed a problem where in-progress games with open slots would not receive new players.
  • Fixed a case where players would sometimes not receive experience (when playing a match to completion).
  • Fixed not getting domination/revenge events.

  • Matches can now start with fewer than 24 players when there are not enough compatible players in queue.
