Product Description:
If you're ready for the challenge of true team-based online action, you'll find it in Team Fortress 2. With TF 2, you'll go into battle as part of a cohesive squad of fellow warriors all bent on the same goal - whether it's storming a beach, demolishing a bridge or escorting a VIP to safety. And you'll do it knowing your teammates are watching your back as carefully as you're watching theirs. Begin by assuming one of twelve roles, each with unique strengths and weaknesses. If you're looking for a straight-up fight, you'll choose Marine or Commando. Prefer the shadows? You'll make a cunning Spy or Sniper. Medics and Engineers support their teammates through bravery and ingenuity. Focus the raw force of your team's talents through communication and strategizing.

Team Fortress 2 (TF2) is the sequel to the game that put class-based, multiplayer team warfare on the map. A long time coming, TF2 was first announced in 1998, but in the years that followed went through various concept and design changes, which left it looking less and less like the beloved original release. Luckily by the time the final version came off the presses and was bundled as part of EA’s 2007 release, The Orange Box, it had returned to something very close to the original game.

Gameplay
Built around multiplayer battles of two teams, Reliable Excavation Demolition (RED) and Builders League United (BLU), representing competing construction teams, players choose between two game modes: capture the flag (CTF) and a control point mode. In CTF the objective is to obtain a briefcase of intelligence from the enemy team's base and return it to their own base while preventing the opposing team from doing the same. In the control point mode the objective is similar, only related to holding particular territories. To be successful in either the most important thing is to understand and use each character class in the best way possible.

A Game That's a Class Operation
Unlike other "class-based" games that offer a variety of combat classes only, Team Fortress 2 features a wide variety of classes which provide a broad range of tactical abilities and personalities, and lend themselves to a variety of player skills. All nine playable character classes from the original game are available and although a few of these, like the Medic and Heavy generally work well with any mix of characters, overall each have particular strengths in offensive, defensive and support capacities. Each also will respond dynamically with different comical dialogue when in combat.

The full character classes include:

Pyro - An offensive class with average damage tolerance, Pyros are armed with a flamethrower, shotgun and a fire axe.
Engineer - A defensive class with a low threshold for damage, Engineers can upgrade weapons and equipment and are armed with a shotgun, a pistol and a wrench.
Spy - Used for sabotage the Spy carries a revolver, a butterfly knife, an electronic zapper and a diguise kit.
Heavy - Tough on offense and defense the Heavy's weapons are the minigun, the shotgun and his fists.
Sniper - A support class with low damage tolerance, the Sniper is armed with a sniper rifle, a submachine gun and a machete.
Scout - The Scout is fast but susceptible to damage. His weapons are a sawed off shotgun, a pistol and a baseball bat.
Soldier - A slow, but a powerful offensive class, the soldier wields a rocket launcher, a shotgun and a spade.
Demoman - A defense class with an average amount of protection, the Demoman is armed with a remotely detonated sticky bomb and a bottle of Scotch.
Medic - Medics keep other characters alive and are armed with a healing 'medigun,' a syringe-firing launcher and a bone saw.

The importance of the abilities of particular classes aside, far and away the dominant factor in Team Fortress 2 and the secret to its popularity, is its clear dedication to fun. This is seen in its rejection of realism in favor of cartoon-style art in the game's graphics, the inclusion of super weapons like lasers and missile launchers hidden within the six standard maps and the attention given to each character's incidental trash talking functionality. Combined, these simply make for fast-paced, over-the-top fun which are the building blocks of any multiplayer shooter.

**If you enjoy sniping someone in the head only to have them turn around and kill you..then get this game.

**They say there is a lag box in this game, which is about the most ridiculous thing you will ever come across. You are outside and see a sniper. Smart people say hey, let me get indoors where there's walls and protect myself from this sniper. In this game you head inside and run about 10 feet down the hall and then you drop dead from a "supposed" sniper shot hit that occured while you were outside. This happens with 40 pings in the server. The first time this happens you might not even notice. By the 100th or so time you are beyond ready to uninstall...

** Demolition vs Engineers ... The genius developers made the Demolition way too powerful. As an Engineer ... Read More

- Don't pass up this game just from a couple bad reviews on this page
That would be a tragedy. I came across this page while looking for a video review of the game because someone was looking for game recommendations for her 13 year old niece. I was surprised to see that this game had only 20 reviews and some were negative. But of course, most people have probably posted their reviews under "The Orange Box". That's the special collection of games Valve offered and TF2 is the main attraction. Go check out reviews for that before you take this game off your list.

Now, without being over exaggerative, Team Fortress 2 the best multi-player team-based shooter in the history of mankind. I'm the type of gamer who enjoys infinite replayability multiplayer games. Counter-strike 1.6 and Call of Duty 4 are two other titles I hold in high regard. If you're the ... Read More

- The fps that never stops giving.
The game has nine classes to choose from, and they are all unique from their appearance, personality, gameplay to their strategies. One could honestly spend months honing his skills for one class and still have yet eight other classes to perfect.

If there's one thing that can be said about TF2, it's that you'll get your money's worth. When the game was first released there were 8 maps, 3 weapons for each class, and 3 different game types. As of now, there's 14 maps, 5 game types and 3 of the 9 classes have 6 weapons to choose from and more content is always on the way. On top of this, since Valve always provides the community with all the MOD tools for all of its products, tons of user created content is out there as well.

I could go on praising the game, but I'll provide ... Read More

- A extremely complicated game that is incredibly well designed.
First thing that I simply MUST say is not to judge this game without experiencing every aspect of it. It takes about 20 hours to get an overall understanding of most of the game and the maps, but even then it's hard to fully appreciate how well it's made. Every class is extremely unique, but at the same time, they are all very balanced when taken as a whole .

For example: The Heavy class has the most health, is extremely durable with a medic, and can dish out an insane amount of damage. This makes the Heavy hard to using direct, close combat tactics. However, the sniper with a fully charged shot can do 450 to the head, the exact amount of health that a fully overhealed heavy has, and is capable of killing him instantly. This forces the heavy to avoid open areas and depend on his teammates ... Read More

- I was worried, but it's actually really great.
I thought this was going to be more of a mod of the Half Life game than an actual game on it's own. I was way off, everything is very different,from the other games Valve made. The game is very stylized and very unique for what it is. Each character class has it's own weapons, health levels, speed, and abilities that are very well balanced.
If you want a good online game, this is one to grab, it's great fun.
