Fortress Forever is a free game inspired by the earlier versions of the Team Fortress series (Team Fortress Classic and QuakeWorld Team Fortress).

Join the fray in this high-speed, team-based FPS with classes that range from pure movement to pure firepower (and everything in between).

Also the wiki

It's just an old school open source SourceMod started in 2004, released in 2007, released on Steam in 2015, using the original Source Engine. We still work on it in waves of varying activity.

There's been rumblings for a while about pushing Fortress Forever to the most recent version of Source for mods, source-sdk-2013 on GitHub which requires a lot of work due to FF being on the old 2006 engine and the engine having gone through major changes since. And eventually, we could port to Source 2, but everyone's waiting for that while Valve does their thing.

Back in the day, I started but didn't fully finish a port to the Orange Box engine which would help with a port to 2013, but it wasn't good enough and now FF has changed a lot so a fresh port is required. A port that might not ever happen, but we do have a 2013 branch going with basic FF movement along with lua scripting and some other good foundation work done.

By using the 2013 branch and porting selectively, methodically, basically doing everything from scratch but with FF2006 as a reference, like for class and weapon coding, map making, we'll have FF for Source 2013, which means PC Mac Linux support plus Vive and other things in Source 2013. Plus on 2013 maybe we'd be closer to source2 so we can then more easily move onto nextlevel nextgen FF if we want to or anyone else wants to, I mean it's open source so people can do what they want. If we can push things officially though thanks to Steam, people can check out new stuff plus maybe it'll help the modding community as a whole.

Something like that
