    One of the best multiplayer shooters money can buy 0

    Team Fortress 2 is addicting. While writing this review I want to play it right now. The gameplay is that good. For those who don't know, Team Fortess 2 is a sequel to a mod which came out out way back for Quake 3. It is a class based online multiplayer shooter. You can choose beetween nine different classes, from the speedy Scout to the all-offensive Heavy Weapons Guy. You play across 7 different maps each with their own special mode. With modes like Capture the Flag and Control Points. Team F...

    Team Fortess 2 0

    After a extremely long wait, almost a decade, Team Fortess 2 was released and it was totally worth the wait.Team Fortess 2 is a class based multiplayer online shooter. This is one of the best online shooters I have played, it is fast paced and easy to learn from but difficult to master while being great fun.The game possess an art style which is similar to the one used in the Pixar film 'The Incredibles' but take note, it is not for kids. Gore and gibbing are the manner of the day but the violen...

    Rocket Jumping to Victory 2

    First thing noticeable about Team Fortress 2 is the visual art style. Derivation from 1950's and 60's advertising automatically centers this game around the rare category of quirky and unique themed games this generation. Where squad based realistic shooters dominate the market, TF2 is an oasis in this time of need. Don't let the name fool you however, the games Fortresses take a backseat to the classes. There's no shortage of abundance as you take control of nine highly unique classes across t...

    Team Fortress 2 is the most fun I've had with a multiplayer game! 1

    Team Fortress 2 is one of those games that has been in development hell for a very long time; in fact, it been in development for nearly a whole year. I never really have the chance to play the first game at all so I had no real anticipation for this game whatsoever and all I knew was that it has some team based gameplay in it. Boy was I in for a real treat, this is one of the best team-based shooters ever made, if not, one of the best multiplayer games I have played in a very long time. Allow m...

    Better than Halo and Counter-Strike. The Best Online FPS Ever. 0

    Valve isn't a stranger to multiplayer based first person shooters. Years ago they released Counter-Strike, possibly one of the most successful PC games ever, and you could argue that Team Fortress 2 is a reskinned CS, but TF2 has so many improvements over Counter-Strike that if you were a fan of CS and you pick up TF2, you will more than likely not wanna ever go back to clunky old Counter-Strike. There are huge differences between CS and TF2 (aside from TF2 being leaps and bounds better than CS)...

    The Essential Video Game. 0

    Team Fortress 2's seamless combination of outstanding visual presentation, design and gameplay rank it so far beyond other gaming experiences, the act of not owning this title calls into question your own enthusiasm for the medium itself. The meticulous crafting by Valve is evedent in any portion of the game you inspect, to the point where you expect at any moment a small misguided detail to tarnish the experience -- a moment that never arrives.The nine playable classes in Team Fortress 2 are a...

It has wave respawns which encourage the team to work together to achieve a goal. This is good because even if the team does not work cooperatively, they are still spawning together. The ni...

    Team Fortress Classic came out about 10 years ago as a mod for Half-Life. It was announced that there would be a squeal to Team Fortress Classic 9 years ago, and today with the Orange Box we finally have it. When you pop in Team Fortress from your Xbox 360 or from your PC the first thing you’ll see is the game’s art style. The game looks awesome! While they aren’t as good as Gears of War or Call of Duty 4 they still look cool, and they don’t need to look cool for them to work really well. Thin...

    A multiplayer shooter destined to be a classic 0

    Valve has done it again; they have created a masterpiece of a game. The team in Bellevue, Washington has created a truly magnificent multiplayer first-person shooter worthy of the highest accolades for its near perfect balance between its nine distinct classes (of which are the Scout, Soldier, Pyro, Demoman, Heavy, Engineer, Medic, Sniper, and Spy), its wonderful cartoon-like graphical style, and its outstanding and addicting gameplay. I have spent over 200 hours with the game since its beta lau...

At the same time as looking cartoon'y it also retains a smidgen of realism. I personally love this.

    (DLC) Another Small, Free, but Impressive TF2 Update. 0

    Valve has continulously updated Team Fortress 2 atleast once every few months since it's launch.  Usually every update adds new weapons for one of the 9 classes and new achievements for that class, a few maps, and maybe a new mode. The thing that's different about this update is that it doesn't offer and new weapons or achievement for any class, hence the name "classless update".              Instead Valve has added a new game mode with three maps for that mode, 1 being new and 2 being olds maps...

    A great experience at a great price 0

    The first thing you’ll notice when you first make contact with Team Fortress 2 is the original graphic style: stylish, with a strong cartoonish feel to it, lots of shading effects and characters that bring to mind the heroes from The Incredibles. In fact, the way in which these characters were created will be one of the reasons of your always playing with a smile on your face, even when your head is blown off by a bullet coming from the other side of the map. In addition, there are delicious iro...

There's some really well done shadow effects and the art style as a whole is just astounding. The visual style the developers decided to go with really makes the game stand out from the pack.

    In a world of dull brown shooters, TF2 shines out brilliantly 0

    This review is more of a refelction of a veteran TF2 player than an overview of mechanics. I have been playing TF2 since its original beta as a part of the Orange Box, and there really isn't another game that has kept me so passionate and dedicated. This can mostly be attributed to the game's amazing community and the absolutely ridiculous support by Valve. The game was certainly very fun even in the beta, but it lacked a variety in the maps department.  Now, after 3 years of constant updates (a...

    Team Fortress 2 is the sequel to Team Fortress Classic which is a mod for Half-Life. There are 2 default modes in TF2. Capture the Flag and control points. Capture the flag is pretty much any capture the flag in any game, and control points is where you find your enemys control points and stand on them to slowly capture them. If one team has all control points, they win. Every class is balanced, like the heavy class deals a lot of damage, but is ridiculously slow, and is slower while firing. The...

    Game Review: Team Fortress 2The last game in the Orange Box is also the one that gives it the replay value it needs. Valve realized that their Orange Box, while great, has lots of short games in it. To make up for it they put a game in the genre that never dies, Online First Person Shooters.Team Fortress 2's development took a long time, a very long time. It was often compared to Duke Nukem Forever in the way that both of them were highly anticipated, yet constantly pushed back and delayed. The ...

    Team Fortress 2 is a game that when you look at it, you wouldn't think it was worth your time. But in reality, it is an amazingly fun game to play. The game is comedic in a sense, and subtle jokes are thrown in with the gameplay, whether it be what a character says, or just the weapons a character uses.ClassesTeam Fortress 2 uses 9 classes in it's gameplay, as a class you have your set weapons, and only those weapons.

    The Game That Keeps on Giving 0

    When it comes to Game developers, Valve, they know their audience; they always want more and for free. At least the PC version of their games follow this model. With Team Fortress two, the amount of content that is packed into the, arguably, most balanced first person shooter multi-player game is staggering. With multiple weapon choices, hats, a crafting menu, and user created maps popping up almost daily, there's no wonder why hundreds of thousands of players log on everyday. The content doesn'...

    Diversity makes Team Fortress 2 one of a kind. 0

    When I try to come up with the whole formula for such success of Team Fortress 2 among online players I end up with many answers, all respond partially. First of all, it's a first person shooter, kids go nuts for this type of game these days, but it's certainly no average shooter. The visuals give a less stiff look to it, and welcomes players of all kinds, This flexibility to please both hardcore and casuals alike is very important in the industry nowadays, evading the constant side-taking.It's ...

    Team Fortress 2 was in the making for 9 years. And 3 years and 9 class updates later people are still playing it. The game's 60's look has a very stylized look and feel. The 9 classes that are available(Pyro,Scout, Soldier, Heavy, Demoman, Engineer, Spy, Medic and Sniper) all have their strengths and weaknesses. No class is overpowered and all the classes have 2 sets of weapons: Their Default weapons and their update weapons. All the update weapons encourage new styles of play such as the Pyro's...

    Team Fortress 2 is possibly the best multiplayer FPS ever made. The first thing you notice when you play is the beautiful cartoon style graphics. Everything seems like it came straight out of a Pixar movie. Character classes (of which there are 9) are all very distinct and have their own funny and quirky personalities. This new humorous tone is carried over into every aspect of the game.TF2's style is the only reason it is amazing though. It's gameplay is incredibly addictive. The game is perfec...

It is the largest content update for the game to date, adding six new weapons, four maps (one of which is a community-created map), and nine wearable hats among a bunch of new features and bug fixes. Valve constantly outdoes itself with its major game updates which release every couple months. While other publishers will build a couple maps, put them in a pack and sell them for $9.99, Valve...

    When Valve finally pulled off the covers to reveal the upcoming release of the Mann vs Machine Update, one of the biggest changes to the standard TF2 formula since it originally launched, I had high hopes that Valve could once again deliver awesome content to the loyal fan base. The idea of 6-player co-op action against the robotic hordes of Gray Mann as he seeks to bring Mann Co. to it's knees sounded downright awesome, and the prospects of not only new maps, enemies, and getting new items, but...

      This is my first review, so my skills may be a little rusty. First off, this game is just awesome from top to bottom. Unlike most games with classes, this one is balanced for the most part. And if it's not, Valve goes ahead and tries to make it balanced with seeming non-stop updates to the game.    In TF2, there is 9 Diffrent classes.

    Compared to some other shooters, Team Fortress 2 a bit simple at first glance, with only a handful of maps and modes of play. The nine different classes have a few weapons, which seems like it might not give them that much to do. But the depth of design you discover once you actually start playing is impressive. The wildly different character designs make it easy to know exactly what you're dealing with, which gives the game a more strategic feel than it might otherwise have with such a fast pac...
