14 DAY TRIAL // Apparently, Valve is looking to bring matchmaking to its popular free-to-play shooter Team Fortress 2.
The "high priority" feature has been rumored to be in the works for quite some time now and is one of the most requested additions of the community.
For the time being, details on the feature are pretty scarce, since Valve is reportedly not that far into its implementation, but the masters of Counter-Strike surely have enough experience in multiplayer affairs to make matchmaking work for Team Fortress 2.
The news comes from the people at TeamFortress.tv, who have offered the details of a trip they recently made to Valve, and have outlined some of the exciting things Valve has in store for its community.
For the time being, TF2 players have to browse servers by hand, and with the wealth of mods and custom rules available in the shooter, it can get tedious.
Having matchmaking implemented means that you can simply get into a group with your friends, and then press a button and let the software do the work for you.
Players who like to shop around, inspect ping, and how many players are currently on any given server will still be able to do that, but those who just want to jump into the fray will have a much easier time.
