![]() ![]() Valve describes Competitive Mode as a “tree-climbing simulator” that loosely resembles the 6v6 format used by pro tournaments. In typical Valve fashion, the Meet Your Match update is serenaded by a silly video featuring TF2’s iconic mercenaries. But yesterday, Valve announced the official public release of Competitive Mode on TF2’s blog, which will be included in the Meet Your Match update coming later this week. Whether or not this decision was spurred on by a certain other game is unknown. Moreover, only this year did they introduce the open beta for an official competitive mode, complete with player ladder rankings and team drafts. Valve didn’t start supporting TF2’s competitive scenes until the last few years, though. Many of these competitive games were played with strict formats (Highlander and 6v6 being the most popular formats, with the latter being the official format for professional play) that limited the number of classes that could be present on each team or banned certain sidegrade weapons. Unbeknownst to many of TF2’s more casual crowd, though, more hardcore fans of the game had also cultivated tightly knit competitive scenes. ![]()
