Team Fortress 2 differentiates itself from most FPS games in that it was one of the first to have an in-game item economy wherein gamers could trade items with each other. Long before CSGO skin trades were popular, TF2 trading sites dominated the FPS community landscape where people not only traded crates, boxes, and item skins for money, but also traded item for item. From Burning and Cloudy Moon trading cards, to the Top Notch Hat, which ranks as one of the rarest items in TF2. This game set up the foundational principles, which would lead to the huge success of CSGO.

Team Fortress 2: It's evolution into a popular FPS with an item economy

Just like many other e-sports games today, Team Fortress 2 began as a mod for Quake, a popular sci-fi-themed FPS game back in 1996. The mod features a Capture the Flag mode between two teams, and players who participate have to choose among nine diverse classes. Each class has its own weapon, armor, and special abilities. In addition to this, you are able to equip various TF2 skins of armor and weapons, but more importantly, some of these equippable items actually result in experience or propaganda gains.

Because of the unexpected success of this game mod, it went on to become a game in its own right, which feels like a mod based on the Half-Life engine. DOTA was birthed from a similar evolution of a game based map, which became popular. Released and developed by Valve in 1999, it retained the name Team Fortress (later on to be known as Team Fortress Classic) and the original gameplay of the mod, and it was then given a few extra features. First would be the additional modes, other than Capture the Flag, this was one way the game expanded from its original core. The game has VIP protection and Territorial Control modes, which have helped the game, garner considerable support and a positive reception.

Eight years later, following the success of Team Fortress Classic, Team Fortress 2 was released for the PC, Xbox360, and PS3. The game kept many elements that made its predecessors critically acclaimed and widely popular, and it featured new game modes. And just like its forerunners, it received many positive reviews and a wide player base. 8 Years have passed since the game was first released, it is still one of the most widely played first-person shooters with still a very robust trading community, and has one of the most active online communities, and rightfully so.

Keeping the Game Alive: TF2 cosmetics, hats, keys and other items

One of the key features that set Team Fortress 2 apart from its forerunners would be the addition of items, with several different classifications. Some of these are not just TF2 cosmetics. This gives players the incentive to play, as even though these items, save weapons, do not affect gameplay, they add a sense of prestige and achievement for the players. There are five kinds of TF2 items:

• TF2 Cosmetics – items that modify a player's appearance. They are equipped in the loud out screen. Vintage Buds are some of the rarest cosmetic items to date. TF2 Hats especially make up many of the rarest items, including these guys: J.Axer's Dapper Topper, Amber's Rad As All Hell Hat, and the Uncle Sam.
• Tools – items that either yield other items or affect the appearance of other cosmetic items. There are four kinds of tools: crates, which yield cosmetic items; TF2 keys, which open special crate items; item customization tools, which alter the cosmetics of other items or effects of certain actions; and other tools that give other items, or give your account additional actions and privileges. Useful medic packs, are tool sets which are much sought after due to their rarity and can fetch upwards of $2,000. 
• Weapons – although all classes have a stock weapon, players can replace them with other weapons they receive in game. Some weapons only offer a look that is different from the stock, while others have different properties that affect gameplay.
• Action Items – consumable items that are used in game create various effects, especially valuable are those that come during holiday events, or are presented rarely to specific character classes. 
• Taunts – items that modify a taunt, an animated action performed by a character by pressing the G button for PC, the Square button for PS3, and X for Xbox360.

Players gain items whenever they get an achievement, crafting, or at random, as the game gives out random items within a fixed period of time.
