TF2 never has had such high issue with cheats as for example CS Source has but right now making TF2 free to play will attract cheaters. Lots of them. VAC bans are delayed. This means that once player starts to cheat, he can do so for weeks without getting even caught in the first place.

I can't quite put my finger on it but I remember that there was a game that was free to play but only if you already purchased at least one game in steam. So in order to play the free game you require a steam account that had at least one transaction on it. I know that's not quite Free To Play

Doing so would put all my concerns to rest. The problem is not that the game is free, it's that there's no cost involved when getting a new ID. As long as the person already own games worth a total amount of $10 (not counting other F2P games such as HL2:DM) or whatever TF2 used to cost on the same
