Team Fortress 2 is still going strong 15 years on from launch, standing tall in Steam's top-ten most-played games right now, and that's in spite of a few years of bugs, rampant and unchecked toxicity, a major bot problem, and a general lack of updates. But Valve has just given the community the tools to boost the game themselves, with many already adding Titanfall-like movement and Apex Legends-ESQUE sliding.

The public beta test branch of TF2, as reported by Rock Paper Shotgun, now has VScript support which allows modders to dive deeper into the foundation of the game. "Vscript is about to absolutely change what's possible in TF2," Cory De La Torre tweeted, attaching a video of wall running and grappling. "Excited to see what people come up with."

For context, Titanfall and Titanfall 2 were both built on the Source engine, the same engine that powers TF2, Half-Life 2, and Counter-Strike: Global Offensive, and so it only makes sense that modders would look to its movement to give TF2 a modern lick of paint.

But that's not all that Team Fortress 2 modders are planning. There's talk of the aforementioned slide movement, as well as ledge grabbing to "make the player movement more snappy and fun". Those are just a few examples of what's possible, and we'll no doubt see plenty of unique and unexpected mods crop up that would've been otherwise impossible, or much harder, to develop prior.

VScript is still in the beta phase itself, and the support for it in TF2 is only available in the public beta test branch, so it's still very early days, but the results are already promising. Regardless, TF2 has been kicking for nearly two decades with sparse updates and headline-spawning problems, so a modding tool of this calibre could breathe even more life into one of Steam's top FPS'.
