I loaded up TF2 a few months ago just for a quick game, expecting to get into yet another round of I'm-so-over-it 2fort.

What happened instead of that was a completely nostalgic get-into-any-map-I-wanted round after round of full servers like I'd never put the game away. Dustbowl, Gravelpit, Steel, trying to re-learn all the maps, finding other players who had long since figured out new clever ways to use weapons and classes that I'd always thought of as sub-standard.

And I'm in a region where there should be less players.
