Team Fortress 2 Classified has arrived on Steam after receiving Valve’s sign-off, making the community remake easy to add for anyone who already owns the original TF2. The mod leans into the shooter’s history while adding recovered modes and gear that didn’t make it into Valve’s final release — though it also enforces a notable ban on the Horace element that has split opinion.

  • Steam release: Valve’s endorsement means Classified is available through Steam, simplifying installation for players who have TF2 installed.
  • Restored content: The mod brings back previously cut modes and weapons, expanding the experience beyond mere nostalgia and into new-but-familiar territory.
  • Modern polish, retro heart: Classified balances faithful recreation of older TF2 eras with quality-of-life improvements and refinements from the community.
  • Controversial rule: The project implements a ban on Horace, a decision some players call unnecessarily strict and others view as preserving balance or tone.
  • Community-driven: The release showcases what coordinated modding can achieve when developers and platform holders reach an agreement.
