Upon the release of Half-Life 2 players were greatly disappointed in one thing, and that’s the lack of multiplayer. Granted, single-player campaign of Half-Life 2 was impressive, but weapons that have been demonstrated in it made players curious.

Nine classes with genuinely distinct roles and readable silhouettes, which is why matches stay legible at a glance almost twenty years on. Free, and the core design has aged remarkably well. The barrier is everything layered on top: cosmetics, an opaque item economy, and long-standing bot problems in casual queues that Valve has been slow to address.

The Quake-era original: nine classes, grenades for everyone, and rocket and concussion jumping that turned movement into a skill ceiling of its own. Far more lethal and less forgiving than TF2. It is visually and mechanically ancient, the population is tiny, and nothing explains the movement tech that separates competent players from everyone else.
