I posted this on a forum a few months ago. Enjoy?
I'll just be reviewing TF2 because I love the game, and I just want to say how I feel about it.
Team Fortress 2 is a class based multiplayer game developed by VAlve that is the sequel to the grandfather of all class based games. The game features nine classes. The Scout, Soldier, Pyro, Demoman, Engineer, Heavy, Sniper, Medic and Spy. Each class has their weaknesses and powers. The game updates nearly every week. The servers are filled with custom maps and VAlve maps alike.
Story: The game is set in the 1960's, where mercenaries are working for the announcer. There is not much to it, but it makes makes the game have much more sense to it.
Gameplay: TF2 has a varying array of game modes. There are modes like Zombie Fortress, Capture the Flag, Capture Points, Payloads (Carts), and many more that can even be made custom, there are even Dodgeball servers! There is a unique objective in every game mode. Ranging from pushing a cart, to surviving the apocalypse in 10 minutes.
There are nine classes, as I said earlier. At the end of the review, I will detail all the classes. But all of the classes have their own unique advantages, and disadvantages. Some classes can even participate in jump maps, where the player attempts to do a gauntlet of excruciatingly evil sections until reaching the end capture point.
Creativity: TF2 is very unique. It has weapon updates made by VAlve, and they even accept user made items. There is a nice cartoony style to the game. The characters are made to be funny at times. Despite they are being dominated and blown to pieces while administrators fly around the map in noclip like mentally handicapped patients.
Anyway, the game is nothing I have seen before, and it has been something able to keep me on for 700+ hours in the last year.
Member Made Content: Like many source games, there is an SDK in which you may custom make maps. You can do nearly everything, and while it's complicated, I hear it is very fun once you get the hang of it. There are many maps today on TF2, many are fun.
Also, thanks to VAlve, they allow the community to submit custom made weapons that may appear in the game! The process in which people make these weapons is hard to say, I haven't done it myself. But member made content is a big part of the game, and will keep you playing for a long time.
Sound: The Music arrangements are nice, the sound effects are normal to make a newcomer laugh, as when the scout "Bonks!" somebody, you will hear an audience applaud you as your enemy flies 30 feet in front of you. There is also an ability for admins to play music on their server, or if you go into TF2's folder, you can play sound effects. Also, TF2 is the host of Micspam. Micspam is the use of an external program (HLSS and HLDJ are safe and awesome) to blare music. However, admins might disagree and m00t you.
The Classes:
There are nine classes in the game, many with their advantages, disadvantages, and abilities. I will try my best to list each one briefly and clearly so you can see what they're like, what they do, and how they do their job.
The Scout: This crazy kid is runt of his family, while having many brothers. He was raised in Boston and is one fast ************. Somehow, he can double jump. Super Sc00t! He has a shotgun (the bonus one which is earned can help with triple jumps and blast enemies away) that does serious damage up close. He has a pistol (Or an energy drink that makes him invincible for some time) and a bat. He can taunt kill with his sandman bat, which also has a ball for stunning.
The Soldier: This is a crazed war veteran who gave himself medals of honor for being in the war. He is armed with 2 rocket launchers (You can only bring one though, silly!) a Shotgun, or some Boots (Because when you're shooting the ground for high air, your feet will hurt, alot.) and a shovel. In a new case, he has an Equalizer, which is a pickaxe that does more damage the more hurt he is, and something that makes him capture faster, but weaker, called the paintrain.
The Pyro: This man/woman/it is a shroud of mystery. While being Mysterious, this masked pyromaniac can't talk! He can, however, light many on fire with a flame thrower (one of which, very overpowered
), a Shotgun or Flaregun, an Axe, a BARBED WIRE AXE (That does less damage, but when he's on fire, he ded) and a sledgehammer (fixes sentries, but does little damage, oh, and it hurts enemy sentries *see engineer*)
The Demoman: The Demoman is a black one eyed Scotsman who was orphaned when he tried to kill the loch ness monster (and killed his parents). He is an explosives man, and he is an alcoholic. He carries a grenade launcher, sticky bomb launchers or a charge and targe , and an array of medieval weapons, or a bottle. He is very deadly in melee, and if he has the Skullcutter and targe, he can take a heavy in one hit.
The Engineer: This slick texan engineer is a man from Bee Cove, Texas. His Grandparents were engineers, and he is very sophisticated. He can build machines capable of killing in a matter of milliseconds. He has a shotgun, a pistol (Or something that can aim the sentry,) a Mechanical Arm, or wrenches. He is very weak, but if he has a sentry up, a Spy or a Uberheavy is needed.
The Heavy (Oh Sheeeeet) The heavy is a russian mercenary. He is on the large side and love sandviches. He carries around 2 different miniguns, Natascha is his favorite, it seems. A Shotgun (Or Food which he Om Nom Noms), and Fists. He does carry Boxing Gloves though, so those will kick ass too!
The Sniper: The Sniper is NOT a crazed gunman, he is a sniper who gets the job done. He will throw piss onto his enemies and disorient them, or take them out from a distance. If somebody get's close, this gunman will cut ya with a Kukri. Or a Shiv. He is armed with a Sniper Rifle or a Bow and Arrow, Piss in a jar or a Submachine gun (and a back shield for spies X( ) and he was a Kukri, and a Shiv. This fucker means business.
The Medic: The medic is a german medic who is known to make scouts cry, and heavies turn gay. Anyway, not much is known about him yet, but he carries Syringe Guns, Mediguns, and A Bonesaw, or Something that fills an ubermeter, which can make you invincible for a short time.
The Spy: This slick man, who has been known to fuck the scout's mother, is a man of mystery. He is specialized in kicking ass in a stealthy kind of way. He wears his Mask, always. He doesn't even take it off when fucking the scouts mother (Pictures Prove this) He is armed with a Revolver, a Disguise kit, A Sapper (For Sentries) and a knife. He can also turn invisible with the help of cloaking devices.
Overall: TF2 is my favorite game up to date, I have found a handful of servers I am respected on, and have fun on. TF2 is a game that will keep you in as long as you have a place to play.
I had fun writing this, thank you for reading, if you did.
