Quake Team Fortress (QWTF) - October 2, 1998 Pub Action I, pt. 2 

I see game chat was just as pleasant in 1998.

Lol "fucking camper" in 1998...nothing has changed.

Man, it's fascinating to see the earliest version of 2fort. Despite it being as primitive as it gets, you can clearly see the rough level design is already there.

The quality is surprisingly good for 1998

Nothing has changed since 1998. People throwing swears at each other, "LOL," occasional smart people supporting their team, etc.

This match happened 20 years ago. It's official; I now feel old.

Man, I miss this game. Played this throughout my college years...in LAN parties

Ahh... the good old days... when they needed to display text just to tell you that you were on fire XD

Omg best times ever growing up coming home from high school, turning computer on and playing quake TF all night and eating home made food. So wanna go back.

First online multiplayer I ever played was this map. On 33kb/s dial-up! I actually don't remember it being that laggy either.

This has been recorded on the day of my birth.

This was back when scouts weren't annoying, and I love it!

I didn't have the discipline at the time to practice and get good but I hung around this scene and was in DJEDI and a few other clans, usually they let me in by just spending enough time on IRC. Got picked last in a lot of pickup games. A great time until Everquest came along and ruined my teenage existence. Fun to look back at these vids, thanks for preserving them. I think #rampage2000 was another channel I spent a lot of time in... HypnotiX, Pun, and RedruM are names I remember clearly. I went by Dane.

Team fortress was actually a quake mod before valve found it

There was a popular server in Atlanta called keep away where you held on to the flag and had to hide with it while the other team tried to find you. It was an absolute blast.

Ahh the track ball mouse days were rough lol. The optical mouse when it came out in 99 was a godsend

This was the mod that really made me fall in love with multiplayer gaming. I think the influence this mod had over future games is so underestimated.

Holy shit this version of 2fort is so much better than TF2's. It's twice as big so not every room is a tiny hallway just waiting to be filled with Sentries and explosives, there are health and ammo packs in at least 3 more places than in TF2, and the layout is just different enough that the sewers and tertiary resupply room actually serve a purpose instead of being useless detours. I get that the bigger and more spacious layout is because the original TF is a much faster game and every class has obnoxious amounts of grenades available, but every TF2 map since the original 6 (if not the original 2) has been built around being less cramped and spammy, with bigger stretches of terrain and multiple flanking routes so every class has a fair shot of doing their job. It's been nearly a decade and I don't think anyone - even amateur mapmakers - have given 2fort the simple x2 upscale that it so desperately needs to be a half-decent map. It's really kind of sad considering that, as far as I know, 2fort was the first Team Fortress map *ever.*

OMG... here it is 2022 and I still get an adrenaline rush just hearing the sound effects!!

I love how to this day you will still see tons of snipers just gettin cozy atop the 2fort balcony just like qwtf.

I was talking to someone the other day and told them how long I had been playing counterstrike. They responded with "So, you've been playing cs my entire life". GOD that hit me in the soul. lol

Im just here for hear the original rocket launcher

I just wanted to say thank you for reminding me of that wonderful era where it wasnt about the graphics, very nostalgic [wTf]h3ndrix

As a 35-year-old, I'm suddenly very sad.

Still plays better than COD.

Best game ever. Oh, I miss QWTF. In the end it was so balanced, it was pure art.

Damn dude. My dad and my uncle used to go at it in this game non stop. I could never get the hang of this game cuz I was practically an infant but damn this takes me back I kind of miss my dad now.....

Being used to TFC, It’s surprising to see a Scout not bunnyhopping and conc jumping.

seeing the birth of the game i have 1000 hours in 1998 is kinda surreal thank you!

Love coming back here to watch videos and get all nostalgic. I must have put 2 thousand hours just into this map back in the day in college.

This game was so fucking awesome . . . I can't find the words to describe just how amazing and ahead of it's time this game was. So many good memories playing Quake TF back in the day.

What a gem. I was in NuK and had a blast playing comp and the lan parties...man.

Watching the scout's erratic movement with the muddy textures is giving me motion sickness.

Great memories of playing this after school on my dial-up connection. Having to compensate for the lag when you were sniping :) Long live Wombles of War!

"Back in our time, before your fancy intels, we had flags!"

this is the same time difference as posting a 2009 video today damn this video is 22 years old, that's like an eternity in internet time

awesome video. I was playing at the time too in College, constantly :)

God, I miss this game. What a fantastic game that gets largely overlooked by its sequels and its move to Half Life.

I’m the doctor. I will heal you.

Nostalgia playing the QWTF along time ago me and my friends played with me and we had a lot of fun. :)

Mods can go a long way...

Brings back a lot of memories

2fort5, to be exact. There were many different versions of the classic "2fort" map in Quake Team Fortress.

i'm 99% positive i played against two of these players sideswipe and USMC in pub around that time, that's crazy to see a video of it

damn 2fort is an old ass map

I remember I was 17 years old getting my first job so I could buy a computer just to play this game. Sony Vaio PCV 150 baby ☺

I miss this game so much. the birth of gaming online

And so it begins

It's always fun to look back at the origin of any game series. Back before the age of glowing towers of fiery hats. (Not being pretentious, just making a joke)

You gotta love QWTF haven't you? I still have tons of demo files from my {DG] clan matches :) Might have to upload some soon! Bring back QWTF!

Damn, I remember play this at 320x200. Those were the good old days of team fortress.

WoW!... I remember you guys. Good ol' wireplay haha :)

haha i used a 50k dialup to play this back when i was like 5! now this map resembles in 2fort on tf2. great times. i hope there's still a server out there willing to hold players and compete.

We used to bind the shit talking to keys and spam it. Oh the good ol' days.

Anyone here in 2020 for the nostalgia

It seems that several popular games series nowadays began as mods for pre-existing games.

freaking good times...2fort5r 2 stronk!! :D:D

man what a fossil, back in 1998? the one that started it all, and Valve made it better it's sad that some people tend to mock and hate this game for being too ugly instead of appreciating it, where they forgot the fact that this mod was the main reason why TF2 existed.

Is it sad that I played this game so much when I was in high school that 20 years later I still remember this map like the back of my hand?

I know this isn’t actual footage from 1998, but it’s still pretty interesting seeing what the original Team Fortress looked liked back then.

вырос на этой игре. команда друзей до сих пор.

So this is what TF was like back in the late 90s... ...a purely golden-aged time (No pun intended).

People complain about team balance In TF2 but literally at one point 5:00 it was 7v13

It would be nice, yes. Unfortunately, a game of QWTF is an exceedingly rare thing to find these days.

it's so familiar, yet so different

I've got plenty of footage up on RU-vid showing many more classes than just the scout.

I love team fortress 2 so I try to find youtubers that do other team fortress games

Uh just a question, what head up display you used? Im kind of interested in this one that you using.

Music to my ears

Grandpa 2fort lookin kinda thicc

Wow, it's somewhere in between Doom and Goldeneye in the graphics department. Did blue team used to be considered good?

Fucking time... I want go back.

This is absolutely fascinating to see. How did you go about recording it?

I feel like I'm in a damn time machine

Memories

This is how tf classic and tf2 is born from a mod

OMG NOSTALGIA

In 20 years, I see not much has changed in the way of game chat

Was more partial to Action Quake myself but this was still more fun than TF2 by a landslide. 90's PC gaming couldn't be beaten.

This video is so fucking old that I wasn't even born

So this was actually recorded in 1998?

Ah... Classic 2Fort :3

Cooooooool.

Hi, I did an interview with a developer and this game came up... can I use piece of the footage from this in my video? Of course, full credit will be given and I'll link back to this video. Thanks.

How come the gun doesn't move when you move around? It just stays in its position.

Lol at first I thought you were heavy I was like wow heavy sure was overpowered

This game was my first pastime that I was truly elite. I wish I could remember my handle. Heavyweaponsguy

I love the 2forta for this and tfc the one from tf2 isn't bad but it doesn't have the same feeling

Any good server suggestions for a US gamer looking to go back in time? Or should i just stick with bots?

Cool.

hallways are too narrow in tf2

It's strange to think that the very server you recorded in is older than me. Plus, i wonder what those people who played with you are doing nowadays

Holy Crap people actually played the objective on 2fort

Just Decided to subscribe to see more of this Also how do you get the game

2:19 Was that... a Super Mario 64 sound?

Can I show this to Overwatch kids to prove that Overwatch is a rip-off? (Now I wait for Overwatch fans to get angry at me.)

overwatch vs tf2 is adorable

I remember sucking so badly at this game. Any idea how I could get my TFquake fix today? or is it really dead?

Massive

Tickenest,i got a question for you. How did you get this game and engine? and what do i need to install to make the game look like the one you are playing here? PLEASE REPLY!!!
