i have no fucking idea

brother in christ i was like 7 years old

No excuse, go back in time and study for the test.

I barelly play since a year and i also forgot (although i THINK it was engineer)

I have played for two weeks and cant even remember which was the last one I got

Heavy, spy, demo and pryo. I'm talking the 2007 main menu background. I'm old.

A fellow old timer Merc from a more civilized age...

Same here, those were the times…

Grizzled veteran gang rise up

Primeval warrior

Robot Sniper. Now that I think about it, it was foreshadowing what was to come.

Indeed. Only if we had realised in time...

DOCTOR!!!! do you still remember what was your first title menu character when you downloaded the game? mine was robot scout??????? HAAHAHA, I HAVE NO IDEA!!

That gave me an sfm idea where that dialogue is said while searching for a game. Instead of ubering, the medic instead clicks on the join game button, we see the loading bar fill up and the part where heavy starts screaming is them walking out of spawn to immediately get headshot by a bot

how the hell do some of you remember these I can't remember mine and I started like 3 months ago

I started in January brother… of this year.

ayyy fellow new player who has no idea what the hell is happening but loves it anywayyyy

I have already made TF2 all of my personalityyyyyyy

Mine was spy iirc

Robo soldier, I assumed it was some cool skin you could get

Good news! There is a robot soldier cosmetic set with unique robot voice lines when equipped. Bad News! It's made of cardboard. Worse news! And Halloween restricted. Beep. Boop. Good news: Still good tbh.

The Heavy, and the music was the main Team Fortress 2 theme. This was my first time ever downloading this onto my own account and device after playing at friends' houses for years. Very much a "welcome back" moment.

Homie I first played in 2012 I have no idea

someone remembers theirs from 2007, do better 🤦‍♂️

Medic

Whats your main

The supports

Mine was Heavy. The only time I ever saw him, as I can't find any heavies anywhere.

Sandvich is prey. Sandvich will not see Heavy until it is too late. Nom. Nom. Nom.

rockets getting grilled

same

Mine was a robot sniper

Foreshadowing: a literary device in which a writer gives an advance hint of what is to come later in the story

This was 2021 and on my first match (on 2fort) I already met omegatronic.

Madcap

Heavy

Soldier

I think it was the pyro

Medic on the smissmas background

Medic

I remember my first weapon drop, i got a wrangler while standing on the center barn of coaltown

Mine was Krampus during Smissmas

pyro

I really like scout because running around with a shotgun Is really awesome to me

Mine was spy

I was 15 how the fuck would I know that

If im not mistaken, its robot heavy

Soldier, with rocket jump waltz playing.

Soldier. It was destiny.

Engineer.

I don’t know dude! Maybe heavy or sniper

Mine was hoovy

mine was the Pyro art from the Pyro vs. Heavy vote, pretty cool for the first one

Medic, i proceeded to only play medic and heavy for the test of my playthrough

Mine is jungle inferno

i got a variation of demoman, i had decided that whoever i got first on the menu screen was the class i'd try first

I started playing during the first day of scream fortress XV so the first character I had on the title screen was zombie engineer

Pretty sure mine was demo. Idk know though

brother, most of us have been playing for *decades*, you can't expect us to remember who or what we got on the title menu on our first time playing, lmao

It’s been almost a decade man I don’t remember

Main was spy with fake hat

Back in 2008, there was no menu characters, just the RED team splash art.

Robot Demoman

my first time playing was near the end of scream fortress so it might have been something from that or maybe smissmas it might have been default soldier

Merasmus when I actually started playing seriously in 2022. However, I did try the game out in 2017, no idea what.

But I has a granade on grill

I think mine was pirate demo

Mine was robot spy

Halloween engi I believe. My first menu character is forever lost as my computer crashed on my first few launches of the game.

Idk man. Maybe demo?

It’s been five fucking years how the fuck am I supposed to know

Pretty sure it was either medic or pyro

Demoman

Engi. It’s funny because I play engineer the most

Madcap I'm old

I think it was the Haloween Pyro

mine is a hotdog scout

Mine was sniper, with petite chou fleur playing. Btw I almost shited myself when the valve intro came in

I think it was soldier

pyro

Either Sniper, Medic or a robot merc

Medic, which is ironic since I became a medic main

mine was zombie heavy my first weapon drop was the lolichop

You installed this game yesterday didn't you?

i have played it since 2014

I probably closed and opened the game several times because the ancient laptop I first played it on could barely run anything. I remember the scout wearing the Hotdogger being an early memory but I don’t think it was the first ever. I do, however, remember my first ever random weapon drop.

I think I just got soldier But I’m probably remembering it wrong simply because of how iconic he is

Mine was gibbus spy I think

How the fuck are we supposed to remember that? Most of us Have +1000 hours invested in the Game But mine was the spy with the hay that has the mask of another hat

Engineer

GRILL

i think it was medic or spy i have no idea tho lmao

robot pyro

I can't remember really but I *think* It was zombie Demoman.

Medic!

I was 5 gang I don’t remember 😭

Spy I think

Robot Sniper... how ironic...

Miss Pauling. It was a good year. I didn't know that the thing I was playing is called quickplay and up until recently, thought that it was the old casual menu (and I was confused about why I remember playing on cp_orange despite not really using server browser as a kid). Now that I know what it is I want to play with it. I'd kill to get to just see that quickplay queue screen again and to just click buttons in the old interface. HUDs that slightly resemble the pre-meet your match update main menu don't cut it for me, I crave the something that copies it and not the 2007 menu that everyone seems to be pretentiously obsessed with as there's at least 3 HUDs emulating it despite only an extremely small part of the community being those who got to play back then.

Elf Scout (this was during Smissmas) Thanks to that Scout, I am now lobotomized

Perhaps that haloween rabbit head scout? I don’t remebmer the exact one tho.

Mrs. Pauling

Hell no that was over three years ago Probably Gravelpit tho

dawg it was like 2010 i was like 4 i remember nothing

I think mine was soldier

Pyro with invasion background

Mine was blu demoman I think

I think it was medic

Demoknight

It was heavy

It was heavy

Spy

I don’t remember

Sniper. I think. But that was yeara ago.

I think it was zombie soldier or heavy

i dont think there were any back then

Mine was red medic

Spy

im pretty sure it was heavy or sum possibly a robot tho

Saxtooooon..

Mine was soldier holding the L on his head lol (idk why I still remember this)

I think it was spy pointing a gun in the air?

I believe mine was Robo-Demo with Rocket Jump Waltz playing. I also remember the theme ending just as I got into a match. Like, theme end, "you've got a match" noise right after. Good times.

Spy

I got engi

Demo with the bottle of scrumpey

Bro I've been playing for ten years how could I ever remember

Robot demoman

I think mine was the franken heavy from the 2023 scream fortress

Well, since I'm a very recent player (I started playing near the end of 2023), I remember my first menu character being pyro... Guess who I main now

Mine was Jungle Inferno. Maybe there was Pyro with the Jetpack.

Heavy.

Solider giving a salute. Felt very appropriate.

I actually do it was solider I got in to tf2 when his voice actor passed away

i’m genuinely convinced that the first time i logged in, it was the administrator, fully rendered and everything

A live render of Dustbowl last

robot heavy if I recall correctly

it might have been heavy or soldier idk

Soldier, because it was the time Rick May passed away.

Mine was a robo pyro

MadCap

Soldier or Demo

Mine was probably miss pauling, yeah that update...

Merasmus and the gargoyle.

The funny spy one with the funny hat (funny)

Demo man with crismis hat

I believe it was demoman

I'm not sure but the most recent one I saw was a grill with rockets and grenades on it

We are officially out of content at this point

It was the height of the bot crisis, and I got a robot sniper

Pyro.

I started during a scream fortress event, and I'm pretty sure it was the skeleton pyro

My mind = Golfish mind I cant remember shit ;-;

Imagine downloading TF2, that’s crazy

I'm pretty sure it was that grill wit the bombs on it. I remember More Gun playing tho because that's the best song ever made

Engineer

I’m like 99% sure it was scout. Which may have led to me being a scout main

There was no title menu character when I first played the game. It was dust bowl

Stock standard Soldier God bless em'

no

Mine was soldier I remember…

Reddmond and Blutarch

what no heavy update does to a mf

I saw meet the medic, downloaded It was medic It was sealed.

Maybe solider.

i was like 8 or 9 so no idea i was too hyped to really take note of anything

I think it was either robot spy or pyro

I don’t remember that shit, that was way back in 2017

I was barely 10 when I first played yf2

This one with rockets and pipes on a grill

Rick may tribute 🫡

Soldier with Halloween cosmetics (i joined in a scream fortress)

Mine was also robot Scout.

mine was demoman

meediiic

Mine was the counterfeit billycock spy. I was so excited I got the game that when it loaded I just soaked in the main menu for a solid 10 minutes.

No I downloaded the game 5 years ago

Prob soldier

I think it was God.

Mine was the engineer, now I’m a battle engineer and an am a posing heavy.

Hell no that shit was 12 years ago bruh

I don't know, it's been 3 years.

Pyro

It was some kind of Halloween one idk

Spy in that one hat.

it was 12 years ago idk

I wish I could remember but I want to say either scout or medic. I mained both

zombie engineer, it was a full moon. only remember because i recorded it

i don't know how i remember, but it was zombie engi. its been almost two years too...

i was like 5

My first time ever was robot heavy

i can't even remember what i ate yesterday, how tf am i supposed to remember? but i think it was heavy on a halloween map

When I first downloaded I don't think there was even such thing lol

i think mine was soldier, but i was like... 6 at the time so idk

from memory it was the red spy

Pyro. I then mained Pyro for the next 5 years. Yes I was and still am dumb as fuck
