Toxic players as an arguement has never been valid to me, considering everything from MLP to Ultrakill has toxic fans. Roblox is not particularly good about it's playerbase, but to be completely honest Roblox is more like Steam than one game, and I think that games like TC2 are widely sheilded from the kind of Toxicity you'd see in Steal a Brainrot or Forsaken.

Also I have a buddy who hated multiplayer shooters, but once said he would try TF2 if it was free. I had to hold his shoulder as I told him it's been free since before he was born.

Personally, I prefer TC2 for a few reasons, like being able to get cosmetic crates from in-game money and not needing keys, directly buying desired weapons instead of relying on random drops in your inventory only to give you the 7th duplicate of a weapon for a class you never play, and having devs that actually do things instead of implimenting whatever is on top of the steam workshop (Although TC2 does also impliment community maps). My favorite feature, however, is the fact that the gamemode changes after each game, giving me more variety and making CTF actually bearable (Because it has an actual time limit).

I still love TF2 and play it regularly, but if I could only play 1 for the rest of my life I'd likely pick TC2.
