    Look into TF2 Classic. It’s essentially ~2011 tf2 with just a few different items and game modes. No stupid hats, manageable and balanced weapons. I love it! Been playing for years now with no bot issues. I believe it will be added to the official steam store sometime soon

      Assuming nothing explodes, yes. The devs have confirmed they’re working on porting TF2C to use the newly-released codebase and plan to release on Steam now that they’re legally allowed to do so.

      Might not be “soon” though. I suspect porting will take a lot of work.

      Yeah I’ve touched both TF2 Classic and Open Fortress in the past. They’re certainly better than post-2016 TF2, but a) they have very low player-counts, and b) they’re definitely not trying to be vanilla TF2. Each has their own unique vision and balance.
