Reading the page I’m trying to figure out what this means.
The best description I ever heard of TF2 was when some called it, “a military-themed hat simulator”. Does this announcement basically mean we’re getting vanilla TF2, with no more hats?

Team Fortress 2 Classic is a mod for Team Fortress 2 that re-imagines the early post-launch era — circa 2008 to 2009 — of the original game. Starting from there, we've added quality-of-life features, remade and reworked scrapped content, and built onto it with full-size updates in homage to TF2's timeless style and tone.

At first I assumed this was possible due to the source code release, but it looks like they've been working on it for far longer. Hopefully the release makes this easier for them.

I feel like it'll be a good way for me to get into TF2 too, I have some friends who want to play some shooters but the space is surprisingly dynamic, especially with Apex dying and a CoD game every year. TF2 feels surprisingly evergreen in that aspect.
No, TF2 classic is more deathmatchy apparently. For instance the sniper can equip a revolver rifle and scout can equip a nailgun as primary. TF2C is pretty clearly not TF2. I wish TF2 were...

I wish TF2 were reimagined without sidegrades, personally - no opportunity cost except for which class to choose.
Yeah I used to play the hell out of TF2 before they added in new weapons and such, and I really do think it was a lot better then. It really was weird the direction the game took in my opinion and...
Yeah I used to play the hell out of TF2 before they added in new weapons and such, and I really do think it was a lot better then.
It really was weird the direction the game took in my opinion and no one really ever talks about it, everyone just accepts it as "hat simulator game" when it used to be fantastic FPS
I'm with you on that. I remember when hats and alternative equipment first dropped and it seemed exciting, but after time away from the game and then trying to return and play again, it was just...
I'm with you on that. I remember when hats and alternative equipment first dropped and it seemed exciting, but after time away from the game and then trying to return and play again, it was just so unfamiliar at that point that it became a barrier to re-entry.

I just wish I could still play on my Mac. Valve dropped support for basically all of their games, including taking away CS:GO when they released the new iteration, which has kind of soured me on them as a company.
Aside from FFXIV, I mostly play games on PS5 and Switch now. I have no interest in building a computer just for gaming, and I haven't used Windows since 2008 or so.

According to this it's because Apple dropped support for 32-bit applications (and for the record, TF2 only updated to 64-bit less than 12 months ago). They didn't mention that Apple also deprecated OpenGL applications, which in practice means they deprecated every game older than Metal and, realistically, every game on Steam.
In that context, it's unfair to say that "Valve dropped support"; it was clearly Apple dropping support and Valve not being willing to fight Apple on Apple's home turf.

Can't wait for it to be released :)
