We know this isn’t much on its own, and we can tell you’re eager for more content. Below are example comparisons of each version, in order of when they were changed. But with help from Savva (one of our community contributors), we’ve lit Badwater up enough to make players stand out, without ruining what made it look special. Happy Birthday, Team Fortress 2 Classic! We sure hope you weren't celebrating the anniversary of anything else today, because the official release of TF2Classic, along with The Death & Taxes Update, dropped exactly one year ago! It’s been a long year for all of us, and while we’re still hard at work on future content, we appreciate that so many of you have stuck around since release, and that so many more have trickled in this past year.Īs a show of appreciation, we’ve gone back on the only unpopular update we’ve ever released: changing the VIP variant of Badwater from night to day! That’s right, Badwater is night time once again! Originally, we brought back daytime to address visibility issues some parts of the map, especially outdoors and under cliffs and balconies, were too dark and muddy without a strong source of natural light, and players’ team colors could get lost in the shadows.
