The word "TEAM" in TeamFortress

Where does the word "DeathMatch" come up in the words "Team Fortress". It should be obvious, but it seems as if many players miss it.  Look at the first word in "Team Fortress". Ahh, get it? Yup, this is no ordinary deathmatch game, where it's everyone for his or herself.  In TF, teams are pitted against each other. They have to work together in order to: 1) secure their base, and 2) score against the enemy. In any case, coordination is something teams should be doing, if they want to win. Although we all love killing, being #1 on the frag list doesn't necessarily mean you're good at TF. If you're fragging everybody, but letting the enemy team score against you, and not scoring against them ... you're not a good TF player. So what does this all mean? Simple. You will take a rocket blast if it means protecting the flag carrier. You will patiently defend your own flag. You will tell others where the enemy is. You will go out of your way to detpack-open grates and holes. You will go after spies that threaten to backstab your teammates. You live, frag, and die for your team. Unknown.
