What's better than fragging together with your friends,
just like a band of brothers in war,everyone couldn't make it through without each other's help.
That's basically what this game,Team Fortress 2, is about.
Team Fortress 2 is a team-based first-person shooter multiplayer video game developed by Valve Corporation.
It's a sequel to the very famous Team Fortress Classics by Valve Corporation as well.
This game was announced is 1998,
and was launched officially on 10 Oct 2007.
Nearly a decade after it was announced.
Due to the lack of information and progress report on the game's development,it was labeled as a vaporware.
To everyone's surprise,it was eventually released,receiving several awards and critical acclaim.
Team Fortress 2 is well known for its graphics,balanced gameplay,its use of full character personalities in a dedicated multiplayer game,and more importantly,its comedic value which would assure you a great laugh while playing.
This game took a step away from other common FPS games,using a cartoonist style visuals powered by Source Engine. Just like the game,Counter-Strike Source and Day Of Defeat source etc.
That's all for the introduction,and the review starts from here.
Firstly,i would like to introduce the teams.
Basically there are only 2 teams available,either the RED or the BLU.
RED stands for Reliable Excavation & Demolition team.
BLU stands for Builders League United.
Differentiating enemies from friendly team mates couldn't be easier with this 2 colors.
Secondly,i would like to introduce the classes.
There are a total of 9 classes,which is divided into 3 different section,namely 'Offensive','Defensive' and 'Support'.
Each class would at least have 3 weapons,namely Primary Weapon,Secondary Weapon and Melee Weapon.
The Classes CategoriesOn the 'Offensive' side,we got the
Scout
A fast, agile character armed with a scattergun and capable of performing double jump and capturing points twice as fast as other classes.
The only down point is that low health of his.
Soldier(My Personal Favourite Class)
He wields a powerful Rocket Launcher that's effective at any range(Provided you fire accurately)He's slow in speed but have more health compared to the Scout.
Reloading speed and magazine capacity are being a b**** to him though.
Pyro
As you can pretty much guess it,the Pyro wields a Flamethrower capable of setting its targets on fire and burn them to death.
Next,on the Defensive side. We have the
Demoman
Armed with a grenade launcher and a sticky bomb launcher,the demoman is capable of providing indirect fire to the enemies.
Not to mention blowing up the enemies' body into thousand pieces.
Heavy
As you can see, the heavy is a pretty fat ass.
What can such ass do?
Tanking damages with his huge amount of health and of course,with his minigun caused painful damages to the enemies.
Definitely,due to his size and his minigun,he's being slowed down and is the slowest class of the 9.

Engineer
As the name stated,the Engineer leaves his work to his beloved Sentry Gun,Dispenser and Teleporters as seen below.
Try getting close to this and see what happened to you
This thing over here is just like your mum,
This teleport you from one place to another.
And finally,on the Support category,we have the

This teleport you from one place to another.
And finally,on the Support category,we have the
Medic
The role of the medic is to keep teammates alive.
He wields a medigun which heals teammates and is able to deploy Ubercharge,which allow both the medic and his teammate to be invulnerable for a period of time, or enhance the firepower of the teammate he's healing.
Ubercharge would be up after the medigun has been for a brief time.
The presence of a medic is often the key point to victory.
Invulnerable UberCharge
He,who wields a laser-sighter sniper rifle,picks out targets from far and able to put a strong fight in close combat with his submachine gun.

Spy
He have the abilities to cloak,sap engineers' structures,disguise as one of the enemies.
In addition to his revolver and deadly butterfly knife.
As you can see,each character is unique to their own ways.
The origin of each characters varies. Etc The scout is portrayed as a fast-talking baseball fan from Boston,Massachusetts.
There are also different strengths and weaknesses of each characters.
Therefore reliance on other classes in order to be efficient is a must for victory,this forces the balanced gameplay into more strategic thinking and an increased utilization of teamwork.
The player doesn't really need a 1337-owning skills to play this game.
You could choose to be a engineer,heavy, pyro or medic.
Which requires less aiming skills and thinking than the other classes,such as the Soldier,Scout and more.
Since this is a team-based game,there ain't any game mode for players to fight for their own frags and glory,such as the Deathmatch mode.
The modes were designed in a way that teams are required to work together in order to win.
There are 3 of such modes,namely
Capture The Flag - Where players must grab a briefcase intelligence from the opposing team's base back all the way to their own base.
Control Point - Teams fight to capture all the points on the map.
Payload - BLU team required to push a cart all the way to the last point of the map,whereas RED team have to defend against the BLU.
As you can see from the above mentioned modes,the game requires proper coordination and teamwork.
You just can't have your whole team rushing to the next point while leaving your point vulnerable with no defence,nor you can have your whole team defending the point and not moving forward.
Though this game was released about one and a half year ago,Valve is still working on this game,to make it a even better experiences for all the players.
Several add-ons and improvements on the game can be seen throughout the year.
Such examples are the new weapons for each and every classes,new maps,new modes and more.
Alright it seems tempting now,go ahead and get your copy of Team Fortress 2.
Support what Valve had done in making this game almost perfect.
For those who's interested in getting fragged by me,do add me on Steam,justawonderkid.
Personal score for Team Fortress 2 : 9/10
Thanks for your time reading this review and i hope you enjoyed it.
Cheers.
