Flush with pride over the gameâs 119th update, Valve today released another update for online shooter Team Fortress 2, designed to honour those that have been with the game since its launch all the way back in 2007.
Along with a few minor tweaks to the mechanics of the game, it introduces three types of medals players can wear on their chests, which reflect how long theyâve been playing the game. If you played your first game of TF2 twelve months (or later) after the gameâs release, you get a bronze âWeekend Warriorâ badge.
Those whose first game was between 3-12 months after the game first came out, you get a silver âSoldier of Fortuneâ badge. And those lucky few, the pioneers who played their first game within the first three months of the gameâs launch? You get the gold âgrizzled veteranâ medal. Wear it with pride, soldier. You deserve it.
Sounds paltry, but for a community so passionate and loyal (not to mention vain) as Team Fortress 2âs, theyâll be seen as valuable commodities. And rightly so. If youâre still playing an online shooter nearly three years after it came out, you deserve that medal.
