Listen, Team Fortress 2 is a timless masterpiece from a purely technical and design philosophy; but, I beg you, don't be deceived. This game is a shell of its former self, dried of content, filled with bots that'll headshot you across the map. Queuing through casual will make you want to play Overwatch 2, and even then, 80% of the lobbies you find are filled with bots. The only way to play the game is through Skial, Blackwonder & Uncletopia, & even then, they lack the charm of causal. The scarier thing is that this is actually the better time to avoid bots, it used to be much worse in 2021. If you do find a good casual match, be prepared to press f1 every 3 minutes when a bot inevitably joins, & if 3 or more bots join the match? Just requeue or go to a community server.

I've been playing this game on & off for nearly 7 years now, & it just is not the same experience it once was. You want a good game to get into? Go play Payday 3.
