>early TF2 is set up to be a retro spy thriller>secret spy bases in barns, deserts, etc.>mercs are all look to be rich and well paid with Meet the Heavy, Spy & Engineer's technologyLore begins being built on>the spy bases are fake, they are actually fighting over the dust and the farmland>they are all poor and homeless except for the one that looks like a drunk hobo>utter chimp at a dartboard nonsense like "Australians are all ripped after being exposed to radiation", "Tom Jones" and "Yeti"TF2 lore is probably the dumbest thing in gaming, and not in a good way
i never cared for the comic bullshit, tf2's fanbase is like the earthbound fanbase but for shooters
>>the spy bases are fake, they are actually fighting over the dust and the farmlandEverything else you said is true, but they are specifically fighting over gravel and the spy bases are real since they are elaborate ways BLU and RED were fucking each other over.It's just that Team Fortress is the most underfunded out of all the teams.
>>719697838>Tom JonesIT'S NOT UNUSUAL
TF2 jumped the shark early on around the same time Valve stopped giving a fuck about the artstyle and started adding obnoxious tranny and furry hats.

>>719697838Their payment probably varies wildly.>The offense classes are definitely all paid next to nothing, between Scout's stupidity, Pyro's insanity and Soldier's both.>The Defense classes are definitely the priciest. All clear professionals, even if Demo is always drunk on the job, both he and Heavy live in mansions while Engie's potentially the only person The Administrator trusts more than Pauling>Support too is likely well paid. Spy's shown to be able to afford the high-life and Medic's experiments are also extremely costly. The Sniper on the other have is probably not paid all that much.
>>719697838Brother even as early in the "lore" of TF2 it was always ridiculous. There's a man throwing piss at people for extra damage. Stairs weren't invented and people had to rocket jump everywhere. Sheakspearicles.The only real travesty of TF2 is how bloated it's artstyle is because they just put everything in the game without even giving it a quality check. The lack of little description tidbits is also a loss.
