PASS Fortress turns TF2 into a competitive basketball-like and it's coming to Steam

Oh hey, a new Team Fortress 2 (TF2) mod that's coming to Steam and it sounds like a lot of fun. PASS Fortress is one to watch. Technically, not a new mod actually. As the Steam page notes it was " Originally conceived by the 4v4 PASS Time community in 2018" but it's now coming as a "fully fledged and realized in a standalone mod".

A competitive basketball-like mod for Team Fortress 2 does sound quite amusing with 4 versus 4 matches, and only projectile weapons are allowed. Team classes are restricted too down to three Soldiers, one Medic, and one Demoman.

More from the Steam page:

At its core PASS Fortress is a fast-paced mode rewarding skillful movement and innovation. Master your rocket jumps, ball mechanics, trimps, and surfs to secure stylish goals.

The standalone mod features:

• Polish to the original PASS Time gamemode

• Fast-paced mode with endless skill expression

• Extended client customization to allow you to configure more in-game.

• Rich selection of community created maps that have been worked on since 2018

It will support Linux at release. The system requirements note the game is being tested on Arch Linux.

We're going to see more like this thanks to Valve adding the TF2 source code to the Source SDK.
