thanks for watching! If you're interested in trying out this side of TF2, check out some resources in the description. I should note that I think the casual side of this game is amazing too. That's part of what makes this game so good: you can enjoy it as a social game or a sandbox to mess around in, but it also has this incredible hidden depth and nuance that goes unappreciated. Also, I've set up a pub server using the competitive mappool and only allowing 6s classes for people looking to get a feel for the game's mechanics without dealing with casual's chaos. Just paste "connect pinguefy.sserv.gg" in the TF2 console and it'll connect you to the server. Here is a discord server for it: discord.gg/Vyh2pbATdA

Amazing video. I've "quit" TF2 atleast 3 times and every time I find myself coming back to it. There's nothing else like it. In no other game is there such a variety of movement, aiming types, playstyles, and communities. One thing that keeps me hooked on it is community servers. In no other FPS, besides CSGO, can I just join a 24/7 community-hosted server whenever I want. In Overwatch you've got custom games, but they're unreliable and rarely have what I want. In Valorant you can't make public servers. But in TF2 if I want to do 1v1s I can just join an MGE server, if I want to play something deathmatch-esque I can just play a hightower server, if I want something goofy I can play one of the countless RTD/Randomizer/1000x servers out there, and if I want to play the game in its normal state with less worries about bots and cheaters I can just play a vanilla community server. It's great.

Competitive stuff has only been a relatively small portion of my TF2 experience, but nonetheless, through this dumb little hat simulator, I have encountered tons of different people that I never would have otherwise, all of whom I cherish one way or another. Thanks to this game, I met: - Scores of incredibly talented game devs, artists, and other non-video content creators - Tons of passionate, skilled, and hilarious comp players across many different teams - Lazypurple, through one of the most contrived and ridiculous chain of events imaginable - One of my favorite D&D DMs of all time, and an incredibly inspiring fantasy writer to boot - My loving partners, who I literally wouldn't be on this Earth without And thousands of different players of all skill levels that I will never see again, and yet have touched me on a level I can't even begin to properly describe. Though I might regret my more obsessive tendencies with this game (mainly in the past, but not totally gone), I will never regret spending the time I did with this game, ever. Even in the darkest moments of my life, this game was here for me. It still is, even if many of the people I once played it with have moved on from it. Hell, to some degree, even I have moved on from it. I don't play it nearly as often as I once did, and yet it continues to live in my head rent-free. And honestly? That's alright with me. Even 15-going-on-16 years later, this game has so much potential, not just with competitive, but with everything. I have never seen a game be kept alive (if only barely at times) to the degree TF2 has. I don't know what crack cocaine-level australium dust this game has been snorting, but god damnit I want some. Jokes aside, this community is an absolute goldmine of talent, passion, and creativity, one that I hope never runs out of gold. Maybe this is what the "Team" in "Team Fortress 2" really means. Not just 9 quirky mercenaries, but hundreds of thousands of mercs from all different countries and skillsets and walks of life coming together to keep these silly gravel wars going until the end of days. TF2 means a hell of a lot to me, and it definitely seems to mean a lot to you too, along with most everyone mentioned in this video. Thank you for making it.

There are absolutely no words to describe the impact of this video pinguefy; I have never felt so deeply touched by a KZread documentary before. Your video made me feel as if I had just finished a movie that I was so invested in that I forgot the world around me, a film I would want to forget just to watch it again and feel the raw emotion once again. You flawlessly explained why many-many TF2 players and I are so invested in this game; the nuanced and creatively expressive movement, the wonderful community, and the remarkably complex interactions between teams or classes. I love it because of this, and that's why I keep coming back to it. It felt like you had poured gasoline on my flaming passion for this masterpiece of a game when I watched this work of art. My eyes were almost filled with tears as I neared the end.

Hey that's me sitting on the ground at 2:13! i58 was the only LAN I was able to attend, but god damn it was so brilliant watching these games live and participating in the open tourney with my mates. In that i58 clip, we were all packed in such a small area. Wedged between a Hearthstone tourney, and a main stage with Rainbow 6 Siege. Yet we were the loudest and most packed fuckers in there. If you could find any vods from either the hearthstone or R6 game at that time, you would most certainly hear us in the background going mental at the Full Tilt game. Truly phenomenal. I'll always cherish the time I put into this game, even if for me it was mostly spent being a cheesy spy main in Highlander. To this day, I still believe that it is one of the highest mechanical skill FPS's of all time, and the reward you would intrinsically gain from your increasing skill level is the most addictive drug I've ever come across. The fun I had and friends I made were such an important part of my adolescence. This scene deserved to be so big, and it's thanks to the incredible community that the beating heart of a grassroots scene persists even to this day. Nothing but respect for anyone who invested time and dedication into this scene, you're all real ones and drove the spirit of competition for a bunch of us nerds, as well as providing insane entertainment.

R6 is the best game behind TF2

I've been playing TF2 since I was 10 years old. I started September 23, 2013. I haven't stopped since. While other games like Overwatch have came out, and I love Overwatch, I can never stop playing TF2. It's my first real entry into the FPS genre and it taught me how to be a teammate, friend, and most importantly, myself. This game made me who I am today and I wouldn't have the life I have thanks to it. This was truly a great video and it really nailed the points I have personally about the comp scene in this game. If Valve were to ever, even in the most unlikely scenario, update the comp mode into a proper balanced, fair, and fun matchmaking system, there is a good chance we could see comp TF2 have new life. I yearn for that day. But, until it comes, I will play comp Overwatch, because it's the closest thing to it.

Still, there’s a community behind it all, just if it got the Fortnite treatment with a continuous battle pass system ( even if it goes against the values and principles of every shooter genre player ) or MVM updates, it’d be revitalized and in the spotlight once more. Or maybe it’s just better the way it is, having honest and small but close communities. Honestly can’t tell.

TF2 is theoretically better equipped than bigger comp games like LoL and Fortnite to get people over the mountain anyway since there's such a huge, robust casual community that if you're new, you can take all the time you want to get familiar with the game without any pressure.

Community servers are definitely still there, but it's hard to stay on a competitive server and not get banned, and finding ones that are alive is even harder. Edit: plus, playing competitively on a casual servers is never gonna be the same.

Something profound is at the opening, where Pinguefy is talking about the FPS games where movement is the most important, Quake, CS, TF2, TF|2, and Apex Legends, which 4/5 of which come from the Source Engine (or a modified version thereof), which is based off of the Quake engine. There's something to be said that the games which are the richest in movement, are also based on an engine well over 2 decades old, has not only held up this well in an industry that moves so fast, but also that the industry has neither created an equal, or was willing to create an equal

I really wish more games widened the gap between "casual" and "competitive". Nobody ever yells at me about what to do in casual tf2. But in valorant or overwatch, it's a norm. And besides - i like casual and competitive gaming, so I want the game to separate both to be great at both.

Getting scolded for not playing competitively in a casual mode is like being scolded for not wearing a suit and tie at a casual dinner party.

This is the best video essay ever and is genuenly one of the best watching expiriences on yt, ty for making this

Every time I see this video in my recommended it has significantly more views and it makes me so happy. This is such a good tribute to competitive TF2.

@@Pinguefy yeah same i've been reopening this vid just to see how much attention it's getting, makes me smile watching views go up. Hope to meet you again on a spaceship dm server :)

Ending segment hit HARD, right in the feels. I've felt guilty playing the game in recent years, as if I'm wasting my time on something useless 'cause it's not huge or profitable or whatever. I know now, though, why I play it - the people. I'm an outlier of a person in many ways and, in a sense, the community of TF2 has given me a home I would otherwise never have had. Great video btw.

one of the best videos ive ever seen on youtube dude youre great at what you do, inspirational!

The HRG vs Mix^ clip with cbear commentating brought back huge nostalgia for me. I was a huge fan during the i46 / i49 / i52 period and it's something I remember fondly. The American teams absolutely smashing through any competition at i46, epsilon at i49, the fan favourite Aussie teams (yuki & sheep just coming out of the other end of the world and being fucking amazing was so good). It's so sad it never got more traction from Valve themselves considering how much effort and money the community put in. Then OW came out and the game had already lost some of my fav casters, either due to OW or just moving on, and a bunch of the best TF2 players at the time jumped ship. One time a friend told me that nothing makes him as happy as TF2 makes me. This game will live in my head forever.

Thanks for showing off the beauty of our game, incredible video

Can we please take moment to appreciate how that medic saved his life from a fall damage with perfectly timed ubercharge at 1:05?

revisiting this it's crazy to me how 40% of this video is just b4nny's life story for some reason

This truly shows the beauty of TF2 comp and that even though it doesn't have the biggest player base, its one of the best games ever made.

TF2 and the competitive scene will always have a special place in my heart. Definitely an unmatched experience, and you did a great job of presenting that.

I didn't expect it to be that touching at the end. It's a beautiful thing you've made

Thank you for showcasing melee in this, my 2 favorite games ever and thats not a coincidence

Amazing video. The outro in particular was so relatable and does a good job on showing why a lot of us still play tf2

I just recently decided to join a community that does pugs fairly often and takes them seriously and I haven't had more fun playing TF2 in my life, which really is saying something considering over the course of 12+ years I've spent over 6500 hours in this game. There's something really special about 6s and competitive TF2 in general and I think I've neglected getting into it proper for way too long.

thanks! I am just really scared to play comp because I fear that I'll get bashed for being bad, very awkward when it comes to being with others, and I have terrible internet (seriously)

the quality of the clips in this video are insane, even the melee clips. I can recognize a bbb combo anywhere

tremendous video, you perfectly encapsulated the beauty of tf2 and the enjoyment you can receive from the game. I played competitive tf2 years ago and no game since has given me the same drive and passion to pursue it seriously. I think my dopamine receptors have genuinely been fried from playing tf2 for so long.

i've spent thousands of hours in this game, practicing aim and movement, and yet i've only scratched the surface of what is possible in this game. you managed to put into words these concepts better than i ever could, and i thank you for that.

Legitimately one of the best made TF2 videos I've ever seen. I played Medic in ESEA-I S5 (shoutout to the fraud that was blight gaming) and have been somewhat out of the scene since, but it is crazy how even after all of these years so many of the points back then still hold true. The things that I thought while playing competitively, the reason why it wasn't bigger, the reason why it was so ill-supported you captured wonderfully. TF2 has always been an absolutely fascinating competitive scene for how grassroots it was and for how divisive the mere EXISTENCE of it was with the casual/everyday audience of the game. This was the sort of video that needed to be made for a long, long time and I'm glad that one finally exists.

Fantastic community showcase. You and all those who participated, were lucky to be a part of gaming in a pure more skill based form. Thank you for every one of your vids.

Nice work! It was super hard at least for me to explain the intense coms that happen in this game this video showed it perfectly, will share to people if they ask what this game is about lol

this is an incredible piece of art, thank u for putting ur time into this. rly loved how u broke down skill expression/style, one of my fav things thts can be hard to explain sometimes.. I love that every pro has *their* way of playing tht makes them stand out even from others on the same class, makes it rly fun to watch, and inspirational as a comp player. closing part was rly emotional.. im one of those who 'quit' like u mention, came back after like 6 yrs bc i couldnt find th same experiences anywhere else-- my fav thing is how team atmosphere changes over time. Th beginning ppl r usually awkward shy n stuff (esp if its a bunch of ppl who never played together), then by the end everyones comfortable w/ eachother, joking around etc.. Theres rly nothing else like it. thank you, you did an amazing job capturing the soul of our community

Tf2 is one of the best shooters I will ever have the fortune of discovering when I was 7, truly an amazing game

amazing video bro. I feel like you explained all the little nuances that made people get hooked to the game really well. Ive played this game since I was 9 (almost 17 now) and this game means a lot to me. Im glad I was able to experience it while it was still alive and for all the people and experiences Ive had in the game. Hopefully someday this game gets another update (besides localization files). Great job pingu, thanks for making this video.

honestly crazy how much depth there is to this game that just gets looked right over. amazing video, i’ll never stop coming back to tf2

this is the best video talking about comp tf2 I've ever seen even tho im not a comp player I really enjoy watching it and learning about it. Amazing work as always pinguefy

This has the i46, i49, darn, etc, documentaries vibe, all of which are beloved videos, and with that you have a great intro to the comp format. Instantly added to the list of my tf2 classics! Very well done.

Thanks for making this. It was an awesome video!

the end to this video is so beautiful, I have met some of the best people in my life playing games, and being passionate about games together is the best feeling

There’s a different feel in this video compared to the others. I can’t quite tell what it is, but it walks the line between bleak and bright. Yeah, there may be something better to do, but if TF2 is the thing you love, who’s to take it from you? I played TF2 for a bit and enjoyed it, but never got into it. I got like twenty hours, but it was still a hilarious twenty hours of wondering where the fuck that one spy is. I encourage everyone to at least play this game at least once for that one memorable experience with a friend or random person. Great video, made me reminisce about the time a friend of mine that constantly talked about the game. Played for like three days straight and got burnt out quick.

This was a brilliant video, so well edited and paced. It captured some of the main reasons I love this game so much; the depth of the mechanics, the bond you make with friends, the history and community, the height of the skill ceiling, the unextinguishable love I and so many others have for this stupid 15 year old hat simulator game. Thank you.

Hey avo

What a great video, almost have a tear in my eyes at the outro, thank you!

Beautiful documentary. I played tf2 for the first time at 10 years and the impact that it has made on me as a whole not just in gaming is cannot be overlooked. Watching this video and seeing all the old names again just makes me so damn happy to be part of the community, even though I rarely play games anymore and bout to go to uni soon. Great job.

Amazing video, you've done a great job summing up many of the thoughts people have about this game.

This honestly feels like a love letter for tf2 and I love it

Love the video, made me realize this community is a lot better than I sometimes think

There are no FPS's like it

quite an incredible video, cant wait to see what other projects you start

What a beautiful video. Thanks for this tribute, and I hope it helps get more people into competitive TF2. Feels like there is something big on the horizon for us :D

this video is SO WELL PUT TOGETHER i really hope more people watch this

You're playing a source game. Liquid breakbeat blasting in the background is keepin you in the zone. Your strafes are perfect. Movement precise and efficient. Aim on point. You're warming up with some deathmatching before jumping into the mumble and hanging out with your pals to do some inhouse scrims. Life is good.

Always nice to see you upload, especially on a game that needs all the help it can get, thank you penguify.

really good video, happy someone finally decided to do an extensive video on this

Fantastic video! I keep finding reasons to come back to this game. I stopped playing Highlander (9v9) Spy right before I got to Invite. Then I picked up Scout and it's a whole different ballgame (hah). What's so cool about this game is that competence on each class transfers between classes but proficiency doesn't. There are so many intracacies to each class and it makes this game deserving of ridiculously high playtime numbers.

Amazing video with phenomenal research and deep expedition in some of the hostirical side of the game!!

Because of all the bots and lack of attention from valve i have always said "i'm quiting this stupid game", but i dont think it had ever taken me more than a day before i went back to playing with my friends. I've played this game for over 4k hours and whenever i'm away from it i am always excited to get back into the game. There's truly no other game like TF2.

I spent half a year away from the game before I came back, that match was one of the most fun times I've had playing a video game, and all I did was set sticky traps on 2fort and giggle about how funny this kill is gonna be.

the end part honestly almost made me cry, it's nice seeing people enjoy the same game you like

I started playing a few days ago. I'm loving the game. The first time I tried it I closed it before starting the tutorial because I didn't like the interface of the menu, I thought it looked ugly. But, oh boy, a few weeks after, I tried it again out of boredom and I wouldn't stand up of my chair for 8 hours straight LOL. I've never ever had so, so much fun playing any game, let alone any shooter. I've never seen any shooter where enemies would start dancing together and commit suicide in such a comical way. I'm 20 and I've never had a PC before, so I might've missed some other games. But I don't think there is a funnier shooter than this. This is the pinnacle of arcade shooter for me. I'll continue playing, and I hope I can contribute to this community (despite having arrived like 15 years late)

When tf2 came out pc gamer said ”the most fun you can have online” and its still true to this day over a decade and a half later. Ive played scince 2013 and everytime i think i quit the game for good. I eventually comeback. While you might have missed the golden years of tf2, I would argue you have also missed the worst years. The game will keep living on for a looong time.

Dude, its always a blessing to see another quake fan, arena/movement is a lost art. Doing everything at a breakneck speed is the jam, the movement freedom in this gernes is the reason it never get old, the skill ceiling i would arguably said infinitely high. As a titanfall veteran, i appreciate teamfortress 2 as much, ironically i excel at spy class in teamfortress, the class that has no place in competitive haha, but as much as you say, spy has very similar mobility to scout, fooling ppl to look at certain angle while facing me to trick stab all to the movement system, a melee focused class could be effective. I got emotional over this production, your video has the passion and love in it, banger. Ok thats bit much word, anyway thank you for this documentary.

This video, specially the last part was really touching. Made me realize how I'm still friends with people I met in TF2 after so many years, and the unique experiences that the competitive community made me had. After 4k hours I haven't played in a while but there is truly nothing like this game and it's incredible how despite the terrible state it has been for years, it still survived. Truly lost potential

You perfectly summed up the charm of this game, thank you so much for doing this and exposing a wider range of audience to such an experience and a special part of the community :)

love your content man, hope you make some more! :)

great vid. That 'itch' is definitely true and im gradually wanting to play again after a few months, that arekk tweet was nice to see love his vids

I got chills watching this video, this game means the world to me so seeing a video this well made about such an old game is so wonderful

such a great video. i never comment on videos but this one deserves it. seriously great job, keep it up. :)

This is an insanely great made documentary. Congratulations, and thank you for representing our love for this game in a single video

God, this video made me kinda emotional. I may not have delved super deep into 6s only playing a few official matches and scrims here and there, was mostly a highlander player for a longer time before stopping, but the way you eloquently described the raw potential of competitive TF2 and how much it means to a lot of people was beautiful. I hope this brings more people into trying this game and maybe people will delve deeper into this game as well as valve to pay a little more attention to this game.

wow what a beautiful essay, i myself am in the mvm community, and seeing this, how manny people acually still are on this game, it made me so happy (oooh it brings tears to the eye it does)
