==Design & Development== {{Outdated|date=May 2016}} Before TFC there was ''[[Team Fortress]]'', a 1996 ''[[QuakeWorld]]'' mod. TF's developers were working on ''[[Team Fortress 2]]'' as a standalone game, but later joined [[Valve Software]] and [[port]]ed the original as a mod for ''[[Half-Life]]'' called ''Team Fortress Classic'' in April of 1999. Despite the company's 1998 statement that ''Team Fortress 2: Brotherhood of Arms'' would be released "soon", the game is still supposedly in development and has been on [[Wired magazine|''Wired'' magazine]]'s top ten [[vaporware]] list every year since 2001. A similar game to Team Fortress is Weapons Factory Arena (WFA) for Quake 3, and it has been ported to Quake 2, Unreal Tournament (1999), and Half-Life (1998). WFA has much in common with TF, although there is one significant change; the demolition man has been replaced by a suicidal "Cyborg". ===Contemporary issues=== Since its release in 1999, Valve has introduced various changes to the game. Perhaps the most momentous were included in TFC 1.5 (released on October 25, 2000), which, amongst other things, increased the Pyro's flame damage and reduced the HWGuy's chaingun damage. Serious groups of players, clans, have seen the rise of playing for money in tournaments like the [[Cyberathlete Professional League|CPL]]. However, TFC's popularity has probably seen its peak, and CPL prizes have not seen the heights of $100,000 for the ''[[Counter-Strike]]'' champion. TFC can no longer be played on [[World Opponent Network|WON]] (unless you know the IP of the server you want to play on) as Valve Software has shut it down. In order to play TFC, users must now use the [[Steam]] platform. Like [[Counter-Strike]], there are a few bots for offline single play. Some of the most famous bots for TFC are: # [http://www.foxbot.net FoxBot] # OddBot # [http://www.planethalflife.com/botman HPB Bot]
