A short, serious PR announcement to describe the project would read like this:
On the 20th of March, FACEIT will launch a new FREE platform for TF2 where players, content creators, tournament organizers, and communities, of any kind, will engage with a mix of new and rewarding play experiences, innovative community tools, and a closer social network to further enrich and develop the TF2 ecosystem.
To put it simply, this is a project with three main objectives:
- Give the community a great new gameplay experience with a particular focus on casual 12v12
- Design and invest in a rich series of events, products, and activations that will see direct involvement and contribution from many third parties from the TF2 ecosystem
- Provide a central platform where the whole TF2 community can feel closer and interconnected while playing and having fun
- Classic 12v12s, ÜberCharged to get instantly catapulted into a match full of 24 players, on your favourite map, where you can play the 12v12 experience that we all love — with no meta, role limitations, or try-hard play style — but where autobalance, random critical hits, and bullet spread are all disabled.
- No cheaters and cheater-bots to play in a safe environment where sometimes you will be the best player on the server (and other times not), but where everyone is always a human, playing fair and by the rules.
- Progression and Prizes to amplify your joy for a win or console you after a loss. No matter if winning a match is everything for you or if you play just for fun; prizes and progression will be there and every single match will be another step toward something else, maybe a new hat or a fancy new rank.
What we are sure about instead, is believing in a single, simple concept on which this whole experience has been shaped on:
A match where 24 players commit to play, from the beginning until the end, with no cheats, and within a rewarding framework, it’s a great TF2 match! No matter if you win or if you lose and it is a single unit that we can use to build positive, lasting, and unique experiences.
