You may not be able to play in Team Fortress 2’s new 100-player servers but thankfully the game is in a better state.
Trapped in spawn with my back against the wall and a gaggle of pyros waiting at the exit, I can’t help but think to myself that more players in Team Fortress 2 servers may not be a good thing.
There’s been a ton of great updates for Team Fortress 2 over the year ever since Valve announced its ‘Big Summer Update’. Complete with 14 new maps and 25 cosmetics; there’s a ton of new and great content available to players. Like this update, the newest announcement that the player count has been raised from 32 to 100 was not made by Valve, so it is «unsupported and not recommended».
While this new capacity sounds intriguing, you’ll be hard-pressed to find a server which actually tests the limits of everything we know Team Fortress 2 is capable of. Unfortunately, if you log onto the 16-year-old game, it doesn’t seem as if anyone is playing in these gigantic areas. Instead, many are still opting for the good old 32 players.
