Wait, is it? Like, vanilla, not Northstar? I stopped playing months ago because I’d leave it running looking for a match in the background with my speakers turned up so I could go do chores and watch TV and then run back if I heard the “joining game noise”, occasionally checking to see if matchmaking kicked me out to the menu. It was just too much hassle to get into a game.
Is all that fixed now? Can I come back? Please god, can I play TF|2 again?
The game servers themselves sometimes shit the bed, but overall it’s a good experience. Matchmaking takes 30-90 seconds usually, although it’s pretty much only attrition.

multilayer is alive at the moment, and you’ll find a game pretty quickly. it’s a lot of fun, but there’s definitely a learning curve

It was kinda broken for a year or so but they apparently updated it recently and made it a lot harder to attack/DDOS.
That’s good to know . I remember hearing awhile ago that there was issues with hackers maybe I’ll give it a try.
To anyone that sees this and wants to play but is scared there is a PvE coop mode.
It’s oft left out of TF2 discussion but it’s one of the best horde modes in gaming and you get to experience TF2 mp without the sweaty downsides.
That’s basically all I played, other players are too good for me
