I used to play Team Fortress a few years back with my friends, last week when i was browsing some internet TV channels i saw this guy playing Team Fortress 2 and i said i need to get my copy of this awesome game. TF2 is one of the best multiplayer games I've ever played. Ever.
The game play is awesome. The game composes of Capture the Flag, Territorial Control, or Control Point game modes. All of the games modes are fun to play. The game also composed of 9 classes to play with. Each class has three weapons: a primary weapon, a secondary that usually makes up for the primary's weaknesses, and a unique melee weapon. The Heavy, the Medic, the Spy, the Pyro, the Soldier, the Demoman, the Engineer, the Sniper, and my favorite, the Scout. All of them have their uses and you'll never be a class that is completely useless to the team. Every class has their uses. A Spy can completely obliterate a turret defense set up by an Enginner who's turrets stopped the team's advance. Then a Heavy comes in on a killing spree while being kept alive by a Medic but then it's stopped by a Sniper killing him with a headshot. A Scout then rushes the Sniper being too fast to get a target on and kills the Sniper then goes for the flag and is ambushed by a Pryo who can kill people almost instantly in close quarters. The Pryo goes outside to be blown up by Soldier's rocket. The Soldier then goes in to be blown up by a Demoman's sticky grenades. As you can see they all have their uses.
Everything in TF2 sounds like you would expect. The Scattergun, for example, barks like you'd expect a double-barrel sawnoff to, and you can instantly tell the Heavy's minigun will make Swiss cheese of you if you get too close. Each class has TONS of voice commands and reactions, and each perfectly fits their personality. It really adds to the game's depth to hear a Scout taunt after hitting a home run with some poor soul's head, only to get gibbed by a screaming Soldier, who is promptly backstabbed by a Spy, who simply proclaims, "Gentlemen, I never really was on your side," before being incinerated by a maniacally laughing Pyro. The mechanical beeping and whirring of the Engineer's buildings, the Demo's and Soldier's explosions, even something as simple as the background ambient noise in a map make the gameplay that much deeper.
The game's graphics fit the feel of the game better than a realistic approach would have. The game is not realistic. The game has somewhat of a dark humor feel. You shouldn't laugh at people getting blown to smithereens but they way the game portrays everything is just funny. The characters look great too. When you put the spy and heavy side by side, you know the spy will take less hits than the Heavy. You know what everything does just by looking at it. The medic doesn't carry a med pack but a med gun. One look at the beam with its medical crosses and you know what it is doing. The medic can characters invulnerable for a short time when he has enough charge. When he does the characters become shiny and are completely covered in either red or blue for the team. When you see this you know not to charge them. The blood effects and gibs also look great. They have the same cartoony feel.
Overall, the game is a satisfying experience. Grab your copy now and start playing TF2!
