Team Fortress 2 to get competitive matchmaking

Apparently competitive matchmaking will be making its way to Team Fortress 2 soon, a feature that has been sought after for quite some time by the community. The feature is currently said to be a “high priority” over at Valve, which has not given TF2 many significant content updates as of late.

Details are currently few and far between as not much else is known right now. Apparently Valve has not made a lot of progress with implementing the new system so we could be waiting a little while but it does seem that the feature is coming.

The details came from TeamFortress TV, who visited Valve last week. They are currently set to offer more details soon, which will give us a little more insight in to the on-goings behind Team Fortress 2's development.

Aside from matchmaking for Team Fortress 2, we do know that Valve is working on bringing Dota 2 to the Source 2 engine. It is possible that the company will update its other on-going online games to the brand new engine as well. That said, Valve can be very unpredictable so take all rumors with a grain of salt.

KitGuru Says: I haven't really played Team Fortress 2 much since it went free to play. However, matchmaking does seem like it could be a good idea, while I'm personally a fan of server browsers, they can seem quite outdated to many at this point.

KitGuru Games: Predicting the Next Half a Decade of Call of Duty Releases

Benjamin Franklin (1706-1790) famously once said: “The three absolutes in life are death, taxes and a new Call of Duty coming out every single year”. Sure enough, the US founding father has yet to be proven wrong, with Activision and a dozen studios having ensured that come the tail-end of any given year, there will be a new COD ready to release. And so, what can we expect from the franchise later this year? What about 2027, 2028 or even 2030? By looking back at the past two decades of Call of Duty games, their trends, progression and regression, I believe I can predict the next 5 years worth of annual COD entries.
