Operation Titanium Tank returns for a limited time! Complete all 6 missions on this classic advanced-difficulty community Mann vs Machine tour and win an in-game tank medal! Official servers are available in North America, Europe, Asia, and Australia. Click here to start playing!

This time around, donations are open for IRONAID, a COVID-19 support fund by the IRONMAN Foundation. Hordes of deadly robots are bad enough, but a pandemic on top of that? Absolutely unacceptable. Each contribution towards the IRONAID fund means our soldiers on the front lines can worry less about the coronavirus and more about the hordes of deadly robots!

Donations of $5 USD will earn an in-game golden heart donor medal, $10 will earn an in-game rainbow heart donor medal, and $15 will earn both donor medals! Click here for instructions on how to donate. Item donations can be made on our ScrapTF page.

Have fun, but don't delay, because this tour will end on September 30th, 2020!

Operation Madness vs Machines is finally here!

Brought to you by the same group behind Titanium Tank, Canteen Crasher, and Memes vs Machines, Operation Madness vs Machines features 98 new missions across 45 community maps, including 13 new maps! Five new gem medals and two new charity medals are up for grabs!

Madness vs Machines throws a new cooperative twist into the mix: Instead of working individually on your contracts, all participants work together as a massive team to complete the global co-op community contracts! A stockpile of precious gems ripped from robot arms (with their hands included, mind you!) awaits those who prove themselves in the war against the metal menace!

To top it all off, there's a charity drive to raise money for Extra Life!. All funds go straight to the cause, so while you battle the robot horde at the frontlines, you can help save children's lives back at home! Click here for instructions on how to donate and earn the prestigious heart gems!

This event is open to players of all skill levels. Official servers are available worldwide in Asia, Australia, South America, Europe, and North America. Free private servers are available for groups that wish to play together.

No registration is necessary to participate. Click here to start playing!
