Synopsis
Team Fortress 2 (TF2) is the sequel to the game that put class-based, multiplayer team warfare on the map. TF2 delivers new gametypes, a signature art style powered by Valves next generation animation technology, persistent player statistics, and more. Unlike other "class-based" games that offer a variety of combat classes only, Team Fortress 2 packs a wild variety of classes which provide a broad range of tactical abilities and personalities, and lend themselves to a variety of player skills. Play as the flame-throwing Pyro, the room clearing Heavy, or the Spy, a master of disguises. Other classes include: Scout, Sniper, Medic, Engineer, Demoman, or Soldier. TF2 features the most advanced graphics of any Source-based game released to date and the most exciting class-based action ever created.

Gameplay
TF2 is an FPS. The main actions is two teams battling each other. Shooting, killing, stealing, pushing, and capturing points. There is no single player campaign unfortunately. There are nine playable characters. Scout who loves baseball. Soldier uses the rocket launcher. Pyro is a psychopath. Demonman is a drunk scotsman. Probably remind you of Dale UK. Heavy who uses the minigun. The Engineer builds weapons. The sniper is the sniper. The Medic can make a player immortal. Lastly, the spy is a frenchaman. There are funny ways to die like getting hit with a baseball and getting beaten to death. items can be purchased in the store such as clothing and accessories. You can even buy costumes. There is also a cooperative mode. Human players must defend their base from getting blow up from the robots.

Graphics
The graphics in this game are unique and stunning. The game looks very cartoony but it can also be very violent. You can have so much fun with the animations. And different characters use different verbal abuse. People who complain about graphics are ridiculous. They might have been console gaming a little too much. Nice graphics makes for a fun atmosphere.

Controls
Controls are confusing at first. The W, A ,S ,D are for moving you character around. K is currently not bound. E is bound twice, first to drop item, which L is also bound to. These are some bug I ran into. You can change controller settings in the game options. The mouse is used for shooting. Left click to shoot and reloading weapon is R. If you still need help on the controls PM me or look in the options of the game and it will show you. When beginning the game there should be a lot of popups telling you what to do.

Ratings (Personal)
Team Fortress 2 is my favorite multiplayer game of all time. The graphics are unique while at the same time beautiful, the gameplay is fast paced but still tactical, and with a company like Valve backing it up, TF2 still remains a Tour de Force in the PC gaming community.

Game play: 9/10
Graphics: 8/10
Controls: 8/10
Overall: 8.5/10
