Just give us Team Fortress 3…
How about Half Life 3

Anything 3
Counter-Strike: Condition Zero sucked ass tho.
CS2 is technically the 5th main series counter-strike game, if you even want to count it as a different game to Global Offensive. I’m not counting 1.5 and 1.6 as different games, and it’s about the same kind of upgrade.
Orange Box 2 confirmed
Left 5 Dead 7
Give me Orange Box 3!
Dota 3?
Portal 3
Portal 3
Coming this summer; Valve brings to you Team Fortress 2:2, the long awaited sequel to Team Fortress 2!
Team fortress: Global Offensive
Defense of the Half Ancient: Team Fortress offensive

Do that, foo’!
Team Fortress: San Andreas
Team Fortress 33 1/3…
Honestly? I’d give them props for it if they had the balls to do something like this.
It just occurred to me a reason TF3 can’t happen in a satisfying way.
You couldn’t make TF3 with a different cast of “heroes”, right? It would just be unsettling and disrespectful. TF’s DNA is their lovable characters.
Not a single TF playable character is a woman. That was on-par for the 2000s, but definitely not acceptable in the 2020s when your competitors are OW and Valorant which both have a diverse cast with (AFAIK) gender parity. Keeping the cast but adding 9 women and 2 enbies would feel extremely performative and like the new PCs are inferior “tack-on” characters.
TF3 would either be problematic or desacralized. IMO making new IP is the right call.
Huh? That’s not a problem at all. TF1 had a totally different cast to TF2, actually. Fully replacing the cast would be par for the course, and that definitely doesn’t preclude them from making a full set of new characters
Huh, TIL, I thought these were the same characters.
Did you forget to switch to your alt account?
There was the original quake/quake world team fortress, ported reasonably accurately to halflife as TFC officially
Unofficially pretty much every game that was moddable at the time had some variant of fortress. unreal fortress, quake 3 fortress, enemy territory fortress(basically q3f but made free by porting to a free game)… and even when halflife2 came out that trend continued and the community made Fortress’s Forever.
All of those games feel very much the same, some with slight additions, but all clearly the same ‘DNA’.
And then there’s TF2 which released with a last minute decision to remove both grenades and the class specific utility grenade. And RNG crits. And then over time they even added ways you could majorly change how each character played as cosmetic only hats were replaced with things like turning the demonan into a melee knight…
I’m not saying all of this to still be rehashing complaints about TF2 in 2024… but just to add some context when I say that TF2 was a huge departure from the DNA of Team Forteess, and it’s totally okay for TF3 to change things up yet again.
Many TF2 diehards will consider it disrespectful and complain, just as I made these same complaints when TF2 released. But it will be okay. TF3 would get its own audience and get a new generation loving it the way you love TF2 and I loved TF
why?
Why not?
It would never live up to the hype, better to take the ideas into a new IP that actually has a chance.
I just want closure.
if you’re talking about the comic, me too
closure I barely know her
You might really like the new thing just as much or even more. Team fortress was a new thing once, too.
Deadlock kind of seems like it might be a spiritual successor. It won’t be the same but it’s got a lot of similar DNA. It could be what people expected Overwatch to be.
It looks more MOBA than shooter though. I think it’ll be closer to Smite than Overwatch
