You can't get more vanilla than Hydro though. That was one of the original 5 maps for TF2, so back then you either played this, 2Fort or Dustbowl lol

And Phoenix isn't even that vanilla as it looks like an Overwatch map where is obvious that the aesthetics came first and gameplay second.

I just don't like this map and don't want to see it in the game. I'd rather have more good vanilla maps like phoenix or simple vscript maps like haarp. We don't need a third pass time or manpower like gamemode that no one plays. Let valve add something actually fun.

Tired of these Zesty Witnesses and Mönkey Butt-scratchers. Running around off like muppets parroting every word from their leaders. What purity are you fighting for in this 17 y/o game that been practically abandon by its devs.

If you think adding a new gamemode would destroy TF2, you are a clown. What is destroying TF2 is not some new gamemode, cosmetic, warpaint, nor a terrible optimized map but truly is the devs lack of attention and care for the game

...And maybe some cancerous individuals with malleable audiences that follow every word they say.

Team Fortress 1 didn't use to give overheal from health packs. You are thinking of Doom 1 & 2 as Quake removed that feature lol

Played with with a few friends, had a great time! Especially love the overheal from health packs, really throws me back to the Quake Team Fortress days.

It's a pity, I won't swear at people who are drowning an excellent regime for the summer again. There was already a similar story in the winter of 2023. Do people stupidly want the game to really "die" or get only caps? What is the problem with adding new modes, can someone explain it to me normally without haight and personal views!?


The authors are well done, good luck!

What a stupid thing to say.

I really hope that Valve ignores the opinions of randoms who follow a YouTuber's word as if it were the bible incarnate and adds this game mode to Team Fortress 2.
Those Tf2 "purists" never want anything good for the game and only seek to ruin what is already fun (like various weapons like the sandman or the caber)

Not to mention all the kids who are trying to copy Zesty Jesus word by word, do NOT in fact, play Open Fortress, have never played nor will ever have the intention of playing it.

How do I know they don't play Open Fortress? Because the community in there is very VERY small and we can all recognize everyone's names, and none of these stans here ring a bell lol

The people who say “go to Open Fortress” are the same people who say “Go to Team Fortress 2” when they see someone playing a copy of theirs.

No my dear Internet stranger, not everyone knows how to install Open Fortress 2, and even if they did, it really is good to have it in Team Fortress 2, as an alternative mode.

A game mode in Vscript is not going to ruin TF2, lol.

go to Open Fortress, it's a free mod.

I need to play this.

Wow, you can play as Jason Grant!

The original character made for the deathmatch sourcemod is not the same as the one used in open fortress. The one used here was created about roughly half a decade ago or atleast the concept

Well, you are wrong as this merc was designed like a decade ago for a TF2 mod that was kind of canceled (or shifted?) before Open Fortress and is nowhere near the TF2 "modern artstyle" that a lot of workshoppers use now, symple because of how old his design is.

But yeah, I angree in that all the maps in this collecton feel rushed and lack polish in general. As they didn't even bother to remove or at least block areas that will server no purpose on a FFA mode with no teams.

Lacks polish, the custom character has the same quality of modern Tf2 workshop cosmetics deviating from the original art style. Most of the maps here feel half baked and still have team spawn rooms from the original hydro which serve no purpose in this deathmatch mode. Another example would be the Forge map that’s in this collection has unfinished art pass in the background; this mode is nowhere near “casual ready”.

It's not even TF2 anymore. Stop.

This should not be added. We don't need more vscript slop

I don't get why everyone here is so mad. As if they were forced to subscribe to this workshop post.

Not to mention 99% of the things people are saying are complete copypastas from ZestyJesus.

What have they done to poor little hydro...

This is gungame that uses TF2 weapons. The Deathmatch gamemode with OF weapons is coming soon.

What's a difference between this and open fortess?

too much exaggeration

Open Fortress has killed itself

*TEAM*fortress 2
Kid named open fortress:

Ah yes, i remember this mercenary. His name is John

just play open fortress

idk man but no "Team" in TEAMfortress 2?

use case for hydro discovered

a lot of bots with negative opinions that are not his opinions, but the opinion of a guy that says this dosen't belong to TF2, funny right? i atleast find it funny

Just play Open Fortress.

Hell naw another goofy v-script gamemode

I just find it funny that they all use his same exact wording instead of coming out with an opinion for themselves.

As fun as it looks, belongs in Garry's mod or Community servers.

and i agree

Zesty Jesus uploaded a video saying that same exact phrase like half an hour ago... I wonder

No. This is not Team Fortress 2. Go back to Open Fortress where this belongs.

Hydro, but it's in a playable gamemode. I've noticed a lot of the time players pile into the dish part of the map, leaving the rest unused outside of a random encounter, but it's open enough to still be fun.

More like it needs more players

Just put this into Open Fortress. That game needs some love.

I'm looking into implementing bot support.

I remember when Valve added Hydro back into rotation some years ago because people have been telling Valve to add it back for years... Only for people to finally play it and realize why it was removed from the game in the first place lol.

Have you not played the mode

how is this TF2 anymore? where are the mercenaries? how does a deathmatch mode fit into TF2 even remotely? you somehow managed to strip out everything TF2-like.

Man this look crazy

Finally! Hydro in a game mode that makes sense!
