5''Gang Garrison 2'' is a [[VideogameDemake demake]] of VideoGame/TeamFortress2. Originally created for an indie gaming competition centered on demakes, it found popularity thanks to [=4Chan=] of all places: the first attempts at modding it happened there. Rather than being annoyed at the development, the creators welcomed the contributions, and the game has been constantly updated since. It is [[FreewareGames freeware]], and can be found [[http://www.ganggarrison.com/ here]].

8!! This game provides examples of:
9* BashBrothers: The healer working with anyone is a force to be reckoned with.
10* BlandNameProduct: The booting screen is a (cosmetic) look-alike of UsefulNotes/{{Steam}} called Smoke, the intro screen is, of course, a homage to that of ''{{VideoGame/Team Fortress 2}}'', and the game is made by a company called Faucet.
11* BottomlessMagazines: Double subverted, all players have an infinite amount of ammo on them, but they still have to reload fired shots.
12* BoomHeadshot: {{Averted}}. Heads [[HitboxDissonance aren't even part of the hitbox]]. Because of the relative ease of aiming in two dimensions compared to three, the Riflemen class could be [[GameBreaker nearly unstopable]] if he could get headshots.
13* BubbleGun: The secret class can create a wall of bubbles that can absorb bullets and reflect mid-air sticky bombs.
14* CaptainErsatz: Every character in the game has a very obvious counterpart in VideoGame/TeamFortress2, save for the SecretCharacter.
15* CaptureTheFlag: The flags being represented as briefcases.
16* CoolSword: The main method of attacking as [[spoiler:Quote or Curly]]
17* DropInDropOutMultiplayer: Matchmaking has a dedicated lobby and joining a match is as easy as double clicking
18* FeaturelessProtagonist: All of the eight bit styled class sprites lack [[TheFaceless facial features]].
19* GamingClan: The community has a vibrant competitive clan setting.
20* GameMod: The game is easily moddable, allowing players to add new classes, weapons or sprites.
21* GlassCannon: The Infiltrator can deliver the game's only OneHitKill attack, but has so little health as to be killable in two hits by most classes.
22* {{Knockback}}: The Firebug and [[spoiler:Quote and Curly]] have attacks that propell other players backward.
23* NoScope: Rifleman can charge his shots to be more powerful when scoped, but shoots at a faster rate when he isn't.
24* LudicrousGibs: Players which are killed by rockets or stickybombs often have this happen.
25* {{Overheating}}: The Overweight and Firebug both have this restriction on their ammo.
26* OneHitKill: The Infiltratior's "backstab" will kill a player in one hit either from the front or the back.
27* PlayerVersusPlayer: All matches are multiplayer brawls.
28* {{Retraux}}: Considering this was created in 2008 (and constantly updated since then.)
29* RocketJump: A major mechanic, for both the Rocketman and Detonator.
30* SecretCharacter: You can play as [[spoiler:Quote or Curly]] from [[spoiler:VideoGame/CaveStory]]
31* ScoringPoints: Getting kills, being useful, and making captures nets you points.
32* SideView
33* TauntButton: Pressing the F key will have your player do hold still and do gesture. Sometimes they come with SpeechBalloon with a picture inside.
34* TheCameo: A secret character from [[spoiler:VideoGame/CaveStory]] is a playable homage of the two game's similar aesthetics.
35* TournamentPlay: The game has a forum with a very active community, which hosts major tournaments every summer and winter.
