=== Mapbase ===
TF2 Classic is now directly built on top of Mapbase 7.3, with all of its features and fixes integrated into the game. The full extent of what's changed is too big to summarize, and we encourage exploring what's now possible. The most major changes can be found upstream at Entity List, Base Entity Changes, Prefabs and workarounds obsoleted by Mapbase, VScript Documentation, and general patch notes between versions.

Some highlights include:

* VScript! It currently lacks many TF2-specific features, which will be added incrementally. Not all functions behave the same as TF2 either, porting for all but the simplest scripts is expected. Please use script_help in-game for comprehensive documentation, and see the list of Mapbase script functions)
* Compared to TF2, VScript can load custom fonts packed into maps, create custom VGUI panels, and control the visibility of HUD elements
* Major overhaul of our FGDs with many additions, fixes, clarifications, etc. (including pending work by vizzys)
* Clientside ragdolls will show new decals when hit or shot, and decals from "killing blow" shots will also appear
* All filters have new I/O/KV, with a number of new filters being added, see here
* I/O supports wildcards in any position, one-character ? wildcards, and regular expressions
* {{code|point_camera}} and {{code|func_reflective_glass}} can use different render targets, allowing multiple cameras and mirrors to be active at the same time
* {{code|sky_camera}} has inputs to copy parameters directly from a fog controller, change scale, rotate, use a solid sky color, and more
* Various console messages have unique colors, adjustable via convars or the mapbase_con_groups.txt file
* New commentary nodes are available for greater flexibility in creating developer commentaries, and they can now be placed in Hammer directly without using the commentary editor
* Custom videos and text can be shown in a map with {{code|vgui_movie_display}} and {{code|vgui_text_display}}
* {{code|func_fake_worldportal}} can be used to visually link two brushes in a map, similarly to linked_portal_door from Portal 2, but it cannot be passed through
* Fish are now controllable
* The {{code|$treesway}} parameter now works properly on materials
* {{code|fog_volume}} is added to make it much easier to set player-specific overrides for fog, color correction, and postprocessing, a feature from L4D which allows mappers to add cinematic effects. {{code|trigger_tonemap}} is also added as an equivalent brush entity for switching tonemap controllers when a player enters an area.
* {{code|info_particle_system_coordinate}} has been added which allows you to specify exact coordinates for control points rather than entity names, minimizing edict usage
* When opening chat, your mouse cursor is now positioned properly over the chat window instead of being placed above it so it's invisible until you move it down
* Text selection in the chat and some other RichText fields now works properly, and lets you select text segments rather than whole lines at once (SanyaSho)

Death & Taxes

Tkain: Fixed count of VIP maps in summary

[[File:Death and Taxes Update Teaser Image.png|right|450px]]{{Quotation|'''Death & Taxes''' blog announcement|
Hello? Who opened the blinds? How long did we sleep for? What year is it, and who are all you people? Update, what update? Oh good God, where did all this content come from!?}}

The '''Death & Taxes''' update, also known as '''2.0.0''', was the first major update for [[Team Fortress 2 Classic]], released on July 4, 2020.

The update focused on [https://wiki.teamfortress.com/wiki/Unused_content cut content] from ''[[Team Fortress 2]]''. Its flagship feature is the [[VIP]] game mode, in which the BLU team must escort the new [[Civilian]] class to the end of the map while the RED team has to assassinate him. To highlight this new game mode, four VIP maps were included: [[Trainyard]] with a single capture point and a one-life VIP, [[Mineside]] with a VIP-exclusive briefcase that must be delivered to unlock the capture point, [[Harbor]] with three capture points and no special gimmicks, and a VIP version of [[Badwater (VIP)|Badwater Basin]] with four capture points (later reduced to three) and a nighttime atmosphere.

Another major feature was the addition of [[Four-Team]] mode, shattering the previous paradigm of RED and BLU by introducing GRN and YLW. The new Four-Team maps were the [[Arena]] map [[Flask]], and a [[Domination]] version of [[Hydro (Domination)|Hydro]] - which itself is a new game mode, with [[Oil Canyon]] as a two-team exemplar. The update also brought back 9 new weapons based on unreleased Team Fortress 2 content, as well as 6 weapons and 31 maps that already exist in TF2.

In addition, most mechanics were rebalanced based on Team Fortress 2 updates, and the vast majority of the game was refactored in design, interface, and content. The prior "deathmatch" game mode was removed entirely, as were numerous weapon concepts and aesthetic choices. Finally, the update also included improved bot support for offline play, a new achievement system, nametag medals for developers, contributors, and beta testers, and many, many exclusive settings, console commands, and weapon attributes.

In total, the update included 3 game modes, 38 maps, 15 weapons, 15 achievements, 2 new teams, and 1 new class. For the full patch notes, see [[2.0.0]].

Scoreboard medals for developers, content contributors, and beta testers, bot improvements, and a new achievement pack were also announced.
