Everything dies, no matter who or what it is.

I would say TF2 has done better than most games when it comes to longevity. Usually games start out strong and fade away within a year or so. TF2 has lasted two so far and is still going relatively strong. Every now and then, I will stop playing TF2 for months on end, because something else peaks my interest. But I keep coming back. CoD, Crysis, DoW... it doesn't matter what it is, I just keep coming back to TF2 because it's the only thing that always seems fresh.

Would have to agree 100% on that one. I've played many FPS games in my time and I've never had a more exciting experience than with TF2. The only thing is at times it truly can get boring, especially when u don't have a good team to play with. This is where the SourceOP server comes into play. If it wasn't for the good group of regulars that actually know what they are doing, the game wouldn't be half as fun. This is why I believe Valve tried to bank on this "teamwork" method with L4D but it's kinda failed as L4D gets tiring way too quick. I know 1 day TF2 will be a memory but I have strong beliefs that TF2 will far succeed CSS.
