As said before, it's very well balanced, it has a class to suit almost every play style, it's fast, it's fun to play with friends, and so forth.
But they have no ranged attack that is any good, the Flare Gun is good if it hits but very easy to dodge. I still use it over the shotgun for a bit more range but your mid attack is very low then, you're going to need to run and hide after shots whilst they burn.
I could go on but won't, it's a good game just because it's fun, not taken too seriously and well balanced.
Uh, the Pyro is probably the easiest class to beat. A majority of pubbers can't play it, and just spam like a retard. Soldier/Demoman are (likely) the best classes in the game, if you can use them properly. A good Scout rapes everything too. But any class can beat any class. Spy's can beat Pyro's, etc. It just involves using planning/skill, and taking them out of their comfort zone. e.g; getting a Pyro at long range as a spy.
It's not just the balance, it's the teamwork. One man can't carry a team in TF2, you need to work together. For example, a team with a strong offense can be crippled if they have no medic to keep the attackers alive. Or a strong defense can be destroyed if no pyros are spychecking, or if the engineers are only concerned with fixing their own buildings instead of their teammates'.
Also, it's just a lot more dynamic than CS:S. It may seem like chaos at first, but once you figure out what every class does and how the maps work, you'll realize that it's a lot more fun than two teams of identical soldiers shooting at each other until they die.

Well I just really like TF2 for the following reasons:
1) Low system requirements. My computer is nearing 6 years old and it can actually play TF2. That's amazing.
2) Balance. Everyone already covered this, so moving on...
3) Fun gameplay: TF2's gameplay is just fun. Teamwork is a requirement, the stuff are well designed, and frustration levels tend to be much lower than in other games.
4) Great art style, feel, and community: The art style is great. It's probably why the system requirements are low, but it also conveys the humour and style of TF2 greatly. This is also reflected in the community - a lot of the times, you can tell a lot of people are playing for fun and not many are going to bash based on how well they're doing. It's actually crazy how this works out, and certainly adds to the fun of TF2.
5) Lots of support: TF2 gets a lot of support. They update this frequently, fixing up problems and adding in new content. There's been so much for free content (on top of the game being cheaper too), it's amazing. It's just great.
Valve takes their community seriously with TF2. They also make some humourous events as well (Halloween event was FUN!)
Basically, TF2 is great. If you play first person shooters and would like a game that isn't all "super hardcore realistic", you'll love TF2. It's got style, it's got gameplay, but best of all, it's got fun.

It's nothing like CSS.
And besides Payload is the worst gametype for me, other than CTF. Can someone please tell me why Goldrush is the most popular map ever?

And someone who's never played this before knows this because...?Psychosocial said:Go scout or something and just attack him? Really, it's just you.Chipperz said:
If all else fails, go for the pyro, it's the class that noobs use for cheap kills, haha.
Far better weapons? I think not sir. Most of the unlockable weapons suck. You can usually tell when you see a noob by the weapons they use. For example, a pyro with the backburner, a scout with the force-a-nature, or a heavy with Natasha.
Also, pyros aren't really overpowered at all. They're quite easy to kill as most classes. If you can get some range on them they are immediately at your level. Then there's always the fact that the ONLY thing a pyro can do against a turret is corner burn it.
Finally the appeal in the game is, as previously stated by many, both the balance and the demand for cooperation. It doesn't matter if one person on a team is crazy good; he can't win it alone. I will say though that it's definitely not a game for everyone. I would however give each class a good chance though, as it is very likely that there is a class you will enjoy and eventually excel at.
