Team Fotress 2 Review

I was asked recently "Jon im sick of Call of Duty and all those regular shooters. Whats a good team based shooter not like them?" I said why the game choice is obvious...

Team Fortress 2 is a class based shooter that took the world by storm way back when and is back to rock but let's see how this game really is...

Graphics- The Graphics are Colorful, Toony and Cel-Shaded. It really suits the game considering the game itself is very cartoon based.

Gameplay- The gameplay is like other FPS's as in you have a HUD and guns but also plays so differently. The whole game is team based and there are 9 classes to choose from and all have their differences.  The Classes are as follows:

Scout can run faster and jump higher but is weaker and can die quicker. Scouts can also Capture Points alot quicker than other classes. Scouts have a Scattergun, a Pistol, and a Bat. Effective at close range

Soldier- Soldier is the rocket launcher class. Soldier has mid range health, defense, and agility. The soldier is good for mid range combat as he wields a Rocket Launcher, a Shotgun, and a Shovel.

Pyro- The Flamethrower class of the game, the Pyro is able to detect disguised spies easily and is a medium build class. Weilds the Flamethrower, Shotgun, and Axe

Demoman- The Grenade/Pipe Bomb Launcher class the Demoman is a medium class mainly used for strategy to place stickys and explode them with enemies. He is a mainly defensive class. Wields the Sticky Launcher, Pipe Bomb Launcher, and the Bottle of Alcohol

Heavy- The Heavy is the tank of TF2. He moves slow takes alot of damage and kills really quickly. Often accompanied by a Medic with ubercharge ready. Wields a Gatling Gun, Shotgun, and Fists

Engineer- Engineer is a lightweight and the smart alek class of TF2. Is capable of building Turrets and such and can also teleport his teammates to designated areas. Wields the Shotgun, Pistol, Wrench, Builder, and Demolisher

 Medic- The Healer of the game Medics can heal and can make teammates invincible for short amounts of time. Can't shut up though so you can tell when Ubercharge is ready or if they are walking by voice commands. Wields a Healing Gun, Syringe Gun, and a Bonesaw

Sniper- Sniper is the sniper of TF2 and is a simple class. Lightweight and capable of headshots Sniper can be very dangerous on bigger maps. Sniper wields the Sniper Rifle, SMG and Machete

Spy- Considered the toughest class to master Spy disguises, sneaks up and backstabs enemies. Spy is lightest class and has lowest health making it a bad choice for the front line. Spy wields the Revolver, Sapper, Butterfly Knife, Disguise Kit.

To add on to the team based concept there are modes such as King of the Hill and Capture the Bag.

Sound- The music fits well and the voice acting is very well done. Each thing sounds just as the character would say them and what is said fits the current situation making it an immersive experience.

My Opinion- Ive put 300+ Hours into this game and enjoy every second. All the classes make the gameplay and mindset of the team constantly. Each class felt different but after playing a bit spy became my favorite class. As I found out the mindset used in this game as a spy carried on to other games I played. Everything fit together very well and made it beyond belief good. Honestly I recommend this game to everyone.
