This might actually be the worst game, I've ever touched in my entire life. Sure there may have been some really bad ones, but I think this one takes the absolute top spot in the worst of the worst.

For a game made in 2007, it runs as absolute hell. I agree, my hardware might not be the BEST, however a game like this, especially made by such company, shouldn't run worse, than trying to run GTA V on a laptop. With configs, I was able to fix most of the problems, but those introduced a worse one.

Crashing. As this game doesn't have anything to detect crashes or what caused the crash, makes configs kinda pointless to use. Why use something, that helps, but stops you from playing entirely?

When you eventually avoid getting ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ itself, you have 2 options. Play on a Valve official server or on a community dedicated one.
You know, this game has a funny bug, that has existed for god knows how long, and from what I've read, no one seems to know an actual solution. You queue up for a gamemode, that is hosted on Valves official servers, such as Casual, MvM or Competitive. You've been waiting for about 12 seconds, and suddenly you notice the game stopped queueing for no reason. Nothing in console, you are connected to internet, there are free servers, just nothing. Being invited to a group while under this effect, stops the whole group from queueing. Eventually leading into not being able to play.

If you do end up getting into a game, you will face 3 different scenarios.
-You join at the very end of the match into the losing team.
-You join at the start of the match, that also puts you into the losing team (by that is meant, being completely spawn killed)
Or the last option.
-A server, that is full of people, who want to be "friendly" and any kind of trying to play the game, as doing objectives or killing someone results in you being KOS or instantly voted.

Luckily for that, there are community servers, right?
Not really. The problem ends up being the same, but probably even worse.
At least half of all the servers are empty.
If a server isn't empty, it's either like 2 people. If you luckily find a server, that has more than that. It's one of few other types of servers.
-Friendly
-A trade server, which are eventually servers aimed for trading and afk, so people mostly just try to be friendly or sit in spawn.
-A server with stupid gamemode as x10, which buffs your weapons with a multiplier (depending what sevrer you join). Those might be fun at first, but try to play that for longer than 20 hours total.
-A HvH server, which is built for people cheating against each other.
-A server, that is full of people tryharding and sweating their ass off to be the best on the server, so they can flex with their non-existing proof of being prevented from touching grass.

That all didn't fend you off? Well, the ride doesn't end there.

Above all that, if you actually manage to join some PLAYABLE server. You have to deal with other problems.
You do the casual of, picking a class, run around, shoot some people, etc.
But the more you play, the more you notice.
-You choose to play as a scunt. You flank people, you shoot them in the back 6 times, including meeleing them. They turn around, shoot you twice and you are dead. Kill cam shows you, that they still had 80% health left.
-You choose to play sniper. You headshot people, but guess what? It didn't register as a headshot, nor as a hit in the first place.
-You choose to play spy. Now, that's probably the most broken class in the game, at least problem-wise. Most notable is trying to backstab someone, you click and boom suddenly instead of backstabbing them, you did a hit for -49. Another problem, is the sheer amount of face-stabbing, which essentially is backstabbing someone but from the front.

If I was to list every class problem, this list would be endless. I think you can see the pattern. Some might see this as "That's just a skill issue", but that's their problem.

That's another part of things. The community is insanely toxic. Sure, you might find someone nice from time to time, but 99% of the actual gameplay is a 9 years old child having their mic on open talk, instead of setting push to talk, and some 34 years old dude trashtalking him with slurs, just because he can't use the mute button.

You might ask (I highly doubt that) about MvM. That mode is pretty much dead. Boot camps (The free version) take forever to search for as they are almost always empty. On the other hand, Mann Up (Which requires a paid ticket to enter), meets the same problems of a toxic teammate, because it's paid and they want to win at all costs, they will do anything to win, even if it involves kicking half of their team.

If I was to address literally everything, it would be kind of stupid and long, so I'm ending this here with final words. This is absolutely the worst game, that I've ever played in my life. Even P2W games are more fun, than this, and we all know those ain't fun at all.
