Since the Meet Your Match update, most servers are split between either casual or competitive, however there is another. Rounding out a nice ‘3 C’s of TF2’, there are also community servers. These servers are hosted by other members of the Team Fortress 2 community, hence the name, rather than Valve directly. These servers vary in game modes, ranging from the standard rotations including capture the flag or payload, to game modes you won’t find on official servers, like Death runs and Jump maps. Listed here are 10 of the most fun community servers for you to try and maybe dip your toes into some gameplay you’ve never tried before. These servers are not listed in order of quality, they are numbered simply for convenience.

10. [TheOutpost][GA] 24/7 Freak Fortress 2 0_o

This server, run by The Outpost community, runs the Versus Saxton Hale game mode.

Ever wanted to play a boss fight in Team Fortress 2? This server is the place to go then, with a retinue of dozens of different bosses, you team up as a server against one player as the boss. With increased health and a variety of special abilities, this one player will slowly work their way through your ranks, decimating your team, unless you have the cooperation and skills to take them down first.

9. skial.com | DEATH RUN | US ████

This server, run by the Skial community, runs the Deathrun game mode

Do you love the feeling of overwhelming odds? Do you like having your life left in the hands of an omnipotent mortal? Do you like being an omnipotent mortal with the power to slaughter your friends? If you answered yes, this server is for you. Run the gauntlet of traps as a mastermind uses them to try and kill you, or take the role of the mastermind yourself and activate a variety of traps to kill your Indiana Jones try-hards.

8. Glubbable's NY #1 | Slender Fortress: Easter Fools!

This server, run by the Glubbable community, runs the Slender Fortress game mode

Harkening back to the days of Slender: The Eight Pages, this Slender Fortress server gives you the chance to team up against the lanky horror himself and escape his wrath. Featuring a multitude of maps, many custom made by the community themselves, and many horrors alongside the classic Slender Man, this server is the place to go for heart-pounding expeditions into the dark.

7. -[DISC-FF.com]- |24/7 Dodgeball| [Airblast Fun!]

This server, run by the Fire Friendly community, runs the Dodgeball game mode

Ever wish you could get better at reflecting rockets? Are you already a skilled air-blaster looking to have some fun with the mechanic? On the Dodgeball server run by Fire Friendly that’s just what you can do. Find yourself in an arena, beset on all sides by an endless barrage of rockets bounced back and forth. Keep the rocket juggled and nobody explodes.

6. ► BlackWonder TX | Surf | Easy Tier 1-2 ◄

This server, run by the Black Wonder community, runs the Surfing game mode.

Sometimes, you must admit, physics are for chumps. Here at Black Wonder’s surfing, you too can give Newton the big middle finger and glide your way along walls. Requiring practice, dedication, and a whole lot of strafing, here you can put Evil Knievel to shame and glide your way to glory.

5. TF2SS.com 39 | TF2Ware | FREE !VIP

This server, run by the TF2 Swap Shop community, runs the TF2Ware game mode.

As anyone who has owned a DS will tell you, WarioWare was a whole lot of fun in a single package, and now TF2SwapShop is helping bring it to Team Fortress 2. The TF2Ware game mode is a collection of minigames in rapid succession, where taking a few seconds to figure out what’s going on is just too much time. Think fast or lose.

4. IdleServer.Com | TF2[PROP HUNT] | Dallas

This server, run by the Idle Server community, runs the Prop Hunt game mode

A classic game mode of GMod brought into Team Fortress 2, this prop hunt server tasks you with one of two roles, disguise as a map object and pray, or maniacally hose down your surroundings with purifying flame and cleanse the shape-shifting demons from this land.

3. ★ WonderLand | Balloon Racing! FREE ITEMS!

This server, run by the Wonderland.TF community, runs the Balloon Race game mode.

If you ever loved Wacky Races, then this is the game mode for you. Board your hovering craft and pilot your way to the finish line, all while trying your best to decimate the other team. Fast paced and an interesting twist on the payload race format, there will be just as much chaos and no less explosions.

2. ▟█▙ ZOMBIE ESCAPE ▟█ Otaku.TF █▙ ▟▙

This server, run by the Otaku Gaming TF community, runs the Zombies game mode

If you ever get sick of fighting a well balanced fight against actual people and waves of robots just aren’t doing it for you, jump on over to a Zombies server and fight the ravenous horde instead. Here you can build up your defenses as engineers and then silently pray to god for your survival, and by pray I meant shoot bullets, and by god I mean the unholy hordes of hell.

1. jumpacademy.tf | Dedicated Server | US West

This server, run by the Jump Academy community, runs the Jump Map game mode

One of the most well-known mechanics of Team Fortress 2, rocket jumping, inspired one of the biggest communities in the game, Jump Academy. On this server and on many other maps, you will be able to practice your own jumping with support from talented members of the community. With a regular stream of community members dropping by just to help new players, there’s no better server to go to if you feel compelled to explosively launch yourself through the skies.
