The point of asking "Who invented TF2?" is to illustrate is that basic elements of Team Fortress 2, particularly various game modes, were traditional youth games and training for centuries before computer gaming drew us all indoors ....
|
Baden-Powell invented Team Fortress 2
Sir Robert Baden-Powell was the founder of Scouting.
One of Baden-Powell books for Scouting was Scouting Games (1910). One game that proved most popular was Capture the Flag, which is still played in Scout camps today (pictured).
Another game mode he wrote for the youth was Dispatch (Escort).

The SCA invented Team Fortress 2
Legally incorporated in 1968, the Society for Creative Anachronism (SCA) is, in the main, a massively multiplayer role-playing game founded upon first-person Medieval Mode combat; and, as soon as the pre-Internet telecommunications of the United States became advanced enough for BBS, the SCA grew into full MMORPG, albeit with a huge IRL ARG.
Particularly popular modes include Dueling (Launch), Tournament Mode (Launch), Arena (Launch), Capture the Flag, King of the Hill, Two Fort, and Control Point; but, we also developed variations of Player Destruction and PASS Time (like The Blood of Heroes), all with none of the tiny baby server limits of only 36 players (a few "servers" host thousands of players).
Particularly into the 1990s, the SCA began to develop semi-permanent, and eventually permanent, IRL levels, generally of the One Fort arrangement.

Glacier Lodge invented Team Fortress 2
No, really, in 1968, Dad took my brothers and I here in Estes Park to meet the soon to be other half of our family. For eight years, I had my birthday here. We would go in the hill behind the cabins to play Two Fort in the granite boulders.
