Team Fortress 2 is a multiplayer first-person shooter game developed and published by Valve Corporation in 2007. It is the sequel to the 1996 Team Fortress mod for Quake and its 1999 remake, Team Fortress Classic. So, it has been around for many years, and the developer keeps the game alive thanks to periodical updates. Valve made a big surprise a while ago and released a new game update. The following is everything included with the new Team Fortress 2 game update.
Patch Notes of the Latest Team Fortress 2 Update
- Implemented VScript
- VScript allows mappers to embed script code (Squirrel3) into maps.
- This system is already being used for L4D2 and CS:GO maps.
- Interface with entities and the world like regular Hammer logic
- Simplify things that were previously incredibly complicated/tedious in Hammer logic
- Interact with and control bots, bosses, player attributes, entities, and game state closely, allowing for enhanced, modified, or entirely custom game modes
- React to game events and change the outcome of certain things, such as damage calculations
- More technical info about VScript for Team Fortress 2 is available on the Valve Developer Community
