Team Fortress 2

deerhaunter's Team Fortress 2 (Retail Standalone) (PC) review

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

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 (almost 130 at last count), there is still no sign of the flow of new content slowing.
 
Another reason for the longevity is the amazing community. I've met some of my best friends playing TF2. The way the game promotes teamwork really does a lot towards building friendships in servers, which can be taken out of game very easily with Valve's awesome Steam friends service.
 
Really, I just wanted to say thank you to Valve for making such an amazing game. I don't anticipate I will stop playing for a very long time.

With modes like Capture the Flag and Control Points. Team F...

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...
