    Tell me, what other FPS game can you whack people with a golden frying pan while wearing a burning hat, turn them into gold, then fly out of the world with a boy with baseball bat wearing a cleaver on his head, then see him turn into ice by a man with a ice stick wearing a horn with thunder on it?

    Well, there are no best things in tf2, making it balanced, some might be good with one, while others prefer other weapons. With a bunch of cosmetics and hats, tf2 is perfect for any age, from a tryhard 10 years old to a adult who spent 100 dollars on a hat.

    I just started this game in September 2014 and I loved this game to the fullest to it's unique and laughable artwork.More likely because updates and the fps is so unique from the others because HATS AND DON'T BOTHER TO TAKE ANYTHING SERIOUSLY . You have made me addicted and I wish you can continue :).
    Also please continue making us laugh

In TF2 you can pick any class to go against anyone, as long as you are skilled enough you can make it work. After the introduction of the leveling system I feel like it got a bit weak in the overall casual and competitive system, but they managed to fix it like Valve always do. Competitive isn't the same like the seasons and organised teams like before but it is still enjoyable. All classes have so much personality and feel relate able , even though they are just guys that's what makes them amazing. Again unlike Overwatch there's a reason both teams are fighting, everything in this game just MAKES SENSE. This game changed me for the better and I'm glad I discovered it, and you should to. Expand

    Great fps, and for free. Every character is full charisma, and it's a blast to play.
    Only down side would be the lack of a campaign, but i don't regret nothing.

    This is my favourite game ever, and that people are still putting stuff on the workshop which later gets added into the game is awesome! I love seeing new taunts, weapons and maps getting added to the game!
    Sadly, I can't vote more then 10/10, because I would if I were able to!

    This online multiplayer game is absolutely the best shooter game ever made. It's not just go in shoot all the people and win. It's also team based combat with MANY different game modes. You can also collect all sorts of weapons and hats.Every time I play it I can never get off.

    A pesar de sus años, sigue siendo uno de los mejores juegos multijugador en primera persona. Las diferentes clases y sus correspondientes armas/estrategias, lo convierten en un juego ideal para jugar realmente en equipo.

    You want my full review? *sigh* fine.

    TF2 is made by the gods of game developers Valve. TF2 brings in so much stuff to make the online FPS genre feel like a new fresh idea. Tons of more classes that, unlike COD, feel like they're different with different appeareances and customization options.

    Gameplay is done in a sort of way to make the player, like me, get addicted to this and make them not want to move for a while, until you improve and make it so that you're the best possible. If u find a server with a perfectly balanced team, you will have tons of fun, filled with tons of tension and tons of fun.

    If any of you have seen my L4D2 review, you'll remember when I said that it mainly focuses on realism but also has a slight cartoon tint to it. TF2 throws realism out the window, goes with a full cartoon tint and cartoon gore and rarely takes anything seriously and it knows it doesn't take itself seriously at times and I respect it for doing that as I haven't seen many shooters that do this sort of thing. It's either that shooters take themselves really seriously, which is the majority of the shooters out there or shooters that take themselves so seriously that it's funny.

    The classes actually feel unique. Unlike other shooters where it feels like it doesn't really matter what class I take, in TF2 it really does dependon ur play style. If u pick a sniper, it REALLY IS harder to fight close distance. If ur playing as Heavy it REALLY IS hard to fight long distance.

    TF2 is a nice breath of fresh air and I'm glad to see that it doesn't follow what other game devs are doing which is why I really respect Valve for making this.

    Pros:
    + Addicting
    + Good classes
    + Good gameplay
    + Creative graphics

    Cons
    - A few glitches

    One of the greatest PC FPS games of all time without a doubt. The maps are hugely varied and fun, the lore is funny, and the characters are great.

Not to mention that it's free and now almost 10 years after release it is better than ever, with new maps, campaigns, and content still being added. The biggest flaw though, is that sometimes it suffers from staleness. The meta doesn't change much. There are dozens of weapons available for every class, but most classes have only one or two accepted loadouts that can be used successfully. I would love to see some balance changes made so that less-used weapons become used again. Also, Soldier and Demoman gets WAY too much love from Valve. They have the most powerful and widest viable weapon selection by far, and that kinda sucks. Especially for someone whose favorite classes are Pyro and Heavy, both of which have been nerfed into the ground in recent updates. Still, the game is good enough to bring me back time and time again. I'll keep playing it as long as there are people to play with.

    Also, **** random crits.

    Now that TF2 is F2P, it becomes one of the best values in online gaming. Super addictive FPS action with a class-based system. Blue and Red teams battle for control points, advance or defend payloads, capture briefcases (aka CTF), and more. I've enjoyed many hours of fun zany action with TF2. In spite of the sometimes chaotic and spastic gameplay, the skill cap with TF2 is quite high. SomeNow that TF2 is F2P, it becomes one of the best values in online gaming.

Some players can master certain classes and have a huge impact on the game. That being said, the auto-balancing system is genius. If a team is clearly punishing the other team, you can vote to scramble the teams for a fresh start. Expand

    This game is so close to perfection. With free access and a technically perfect weapon balance, the only bad thing here is the stuff that is missing. Come on, no grenades? No vehicles? Thankfully, powerups and other cool things have been added as weapons and game modes.

    By the way, this is as far from pay-to-win as you can get while still gaining good cash. Give it a try!

There is also a great art style that works perfectly with its comedy and gameplay. If you are worried that this game will look terrible because it came out in 2007, you shouldn't. The graphics surprisingly hold up well, due to the art style not being realistic. Shooting people in this game feels so rewarding. Spy is a sharp dresser and has a hitbox like a rectangle with limbs and a head. The game is also free and is balanced so the stock weapons are the best in overall situations. There are also hundreds of cosmetics that allow you to express yourself in so many ways. Some people say that this game has devolved into a fashion game, but I disagree. The cosmetics in this game are just that, cosmetics, as they provide no competitive advantage. Admittedly, this game has some problems such as the toxic people, speech binds, random crits, not having access to all the weapons at the start, a very limited inventory for people that play for free, awful tutorials, and the tryhard veterans that keep killing people new to the game. You can still do well with any class if you don't have much skill. Words can not describe how much fun this game is, just go out and have fun. Expand

    Team Fortress 2 is often credited with popularizing the team based shooter that we see in games ranging from Activision/Blizzard's Overwatch and HiRez's Paladins. To say that the game was influential would be a hefty understatement.

    Team Fortress 2 is often credited with popularizing the team based shooter that we see in games ranging from Activision/Blizzard's Overwatch and HiRez's Paladins. To say that the game was influential would be a hefty understatement. In 2007, this game released in a package known as "The Orange Box" and delivered an experience unparalleled to anything like it at the time.
    Today, with lackluster and infrequent updates, the game seems to have lost some of it's appeal. Now it has become somewhat of another meme to those already familiar with Valve's development process. Players are lucky to see a major update a year and that is, for the most part, pushing it.
    Most in TF2's community will admit that the art style of the game has shifted away from it's mid-Cold War aesthetic to that of a teenager, with a particular fondness for psychoactive drugs, from the Cold War era with the ability to time travel. I say this due to the old cosmetic items of WW2 era helmets being in the same game that players can wear banana hats in.
    The community's main complaint is about substance and updates which in a free-to-play online shooter are extremely relevant and necessary to keep a game alive. Unfortunately Valve is more concerned with selling games now and making designer gloves in other games a real thing (look it up). TF2's development team now dwindles to around 15 or 16 people and most of those are artists with only about 5 working on developing the game itself. Valve's founder Gabe Newell doesn't care if the game dies, the same way he doesn't care that supporters of Valve will never get to see the ill-fated Half Life 3.
    Regardless, the game itself has aged beautifully, if you exclude gaudy cosmetics, and the core game play still takes me back to when I first started the game in 2012. Every kill is fun and feels satisfying. Every movement feels real and has an immense impact on whether you narrowly avoid a rocket or get blasted into 1,000 gibs. Despite me becoming more and more disenchanted with the game, I can't help finding myself playing for a few hours here and there and have casually racked up over 700+ hours playing it on Steam. For what it is, I say that TF2 is a solid but recently misguided masterpiece. If I would have written this review in 2014, I would have had a much more positive outlook on TF2, but I fear the end is soon for one of the grandfathers of modern team based shooters and free-to-play games alike.

    The marriage of highly stylised retro-spy presentation, fresh, high octane action, deep and varied classes and the underlying twinkle of humour in its metaphorical eye make Team Fortress 2 far more than just your average fragfest. Long after the novelty of the graphics wears thin, we are left with a refined and accessible multiplayer game that simultaneously cultivates new players whilst retaining enough depth to accommodate even the hardiest of veterans.
  2. The game also does a lovely job of framing your relationship with other players and nurturing them.
  3. It's one hell of a game. With its powerful artistic style and blazingly quick, yet accessible gameplay, it's enough to melt the icy cynicism imprisoning the hearts of even the most jaded among us. That being said, it's not the most complex shooter out there.
