Easy to play, hard to master.

This free to play entry to valve’s orange box is one thing in itself: pure genius.
All this and the colorful cast of Mercs make this a game to live for decades to come... or so it had seemed...

As of right now, the game is still playable and has even had an engine upgrade. However, as a mercenary at work in this game, i cannot stress enough that the developers don't provide content updates anymore outside of hats. The game still unfortunately sits abandoned by the devs, but even then new life has been brought to the game. The bot crisis that had once plagued the game... has now been culled for the most part. 16 and a half years after it showed the world it's unique design and janky, yet oddly satisfying gameplay... Once a mercenary, always a mercenary.

I've seen this war against the bots through to it's conclusion... Valve... Thank you...
