    Peut étre un tres bon jeu a son lancement mais aujourd'hui un simple pay2win avec une communauté cancer et des mise a jour de moindre utilité ... bref un jeu mort dépacé par overwatch.

    The variety of game modes, such as Capture the Flag, Control Point, and Payload, that offer different objectives and challenges for each team.
    The humor and personality of the characters, such as the Heavy’s love for his minigun, the Spy’s witty remarks, and the Pyro’s mysterious identity.
    The customization and progression system, that allows you to unlock, craft, trade, and buy new items, such as hats, weapons, and cosmetics.
    The community and fan-made content, such as maps, mods, comics, videos, and artwork, that keep the game fresh and interesting.    … Expand

    I have to admit, the game is pretty decent. Valve made an addictive game with lovable characters, that has impressive SFMs.

    But gameplay itself is not that great. Most of the time, you cannot walk 2 feet out of base without getting exploded, shotgunned, mowed down by a minigun, or whatever. It is very unbalanced and it has some times where I wonder if this is a good game at all. I    I have to admit, the game is pretty decent.

    I adore the game, but not at the same time, if you can understand what I mean.

    I don't have a high-tech gaming PC, but I am still able to play it, which is great, because any game I am able to play runs like garbage (Payday 2, ARK Survival Evolved etc.)

    Es el mejor juego de este tipo de modo de juego y se requiere bastante de la ayuda de equipo . Un juego muy balanceado con varios modos de juego para jugar . La comunidad es una de las mejores que he visto . El sistema de comercio en TF2 es uno de los mejores que haya existido . Clases geniales e innovadoras

It does encourage skill, and teamwork, though too often everyone just goes insane through a match. Each class is distinct, from appearance to abilities to strengths, which allows for the game to feel less repetitive than it would have otherwise. However, the classes are not balanced. Some classes are obviously easier to use than others. Also, the layout of some maps makes it so that one team will have an advantage, which rids any required skill. Also, the game does start to lose its charm after a while, as the gameplay is the same. Its definitely better than it could have been, but its not a game that I would put at the top of my favorites list anytime soon.… Expand

    I love this game. It takes a long time to get good at, but that's part of what I like about it. The classes are very well balanced after the Blue Moon update, so it's not too difficult to counter each of the classes if you're smart about how you play.

    Now this game is dead but in its era it was a really good multiplayer. Good background of characters. Every one of them was a true unique persona. The classes had a great diversion.

    The best description would be Overwatch but actually good.

From the huge things like the gameplay based off of the nine iconic mercs made to do certain tasks and counter other classes, to the small things like the funny hats, taunts, or promo items. I am a hybrid main, maining Heavy, Pyro, and Engineer because they're just so fun to play as. Heavy mows down unexpected opponents and is the character who dragged many people into the game from his "meet the team" trailer. Pyro, who was the last to receive a trailer but neefed the time to show people who he was, that cute minded, flamethrower using, monster that is also really funny when you use airblast. Engineer, where you either have dire, dangerous fights to win a game, or you're laying down in your robot lawn chair with your sentry gun in the intellegence room. That takes me too the gamemodes. Valve started with a couple gamemodes, but soon made more of them. There's ones with control points a team needs to capture and defend, capture the flag, (self explanatory) and payload, but it has other gamemodes, like ctf with power ups and grappling hooks, ones with UFOs, one taking place in medieval times, payloads racing, or some soccerhockeybasketball. The community also makes fun gamemodes like the apocalyptic x10, where all weapons stats are multiplied by ten, versus saxton hale, where you and a bunch of other players defeat one boss player, or randomizer, where every life you are equipped with a random class, primary weapon, secondary weapon, and melee weapon. The gamemodes, characters, and maps have helped make this game last twelve and a half years. But, what about the community? The community has done so many things to help this game stay alive. The community has made lots of the game for valve using the steam workshop. They have made weapons, hats, taunts, and maps for valve. They even make up sub-classes using special loadouts like the trolldier, the soldier class but he is now, instead of shooting rockets and rocket jumping towards an advange point, (one of the moves in the game that allows fast movement) he is now based entirely on rocket jumping with a rocket launcher that does no damage and hitting people with a shovel that does extra damage while rocket jumping. There's also the demoknight, where people took the grenade shooting, stickybomb detonating, demolition man into a knight with a sword and shield that charges into an enemy with his sword that does critical damage while charging. There's so many great things about this game, Valve. Please, for the love of god, update the game. We haven't had a major update since october 2017. Thousands upon thousands people love and enjoy this game so much, we need another update. We have lots of weapons, maps, and cosmetic items for you in the workshop that are all ready to go. I rate this game 5 Soundsmit- i- i mean, five stars for its interactive gameplay, cosmetic items, and amazing community.… Expand

    The reason why some people might hate this game, is that they have a slow computer, or simply judge the class pack as unbalanced, even if it does shift the amount of that class to the entire team or something similar for a week or two. Eventually, it returns to normal. Another way one could hate it is because they don't join up in a clan and use teamwork, so TF2 really needs a person willing to coordinate their team mates using a microphone. Not doing this leads to the comments that the weapons are too weak or too powerful: Ex. A heavy, charging ahead of his them (somehow.) Will be picked off by a sniper, unless the team spies murder him with their ITTY BITTY KNIVES, then a demoman or ubercharged(Where the medic heals a ton and gets to turn a class invulnerable for 8 seconds) class may have to charge ahead to remove sentries, while a pyro burns all allies in sight, trying to prevent spies from sapping their team's sentries. A solider may need to use his rockets to also remove sentries or clear out enemies while a sniper removes the medic healing the other teams heavy, allowing his team to rush in and give him a quick death.
    Finally, they clear out the control point, where the speedy scout can rush in and capture it before the other team respawns.
    And that's how team work is used in team fortress 2.
    The teamwork in TF2 differs from something like Call of duty, where a skilled player can run on in a blind frenzy, killing anything in his path, or a lone sniper can remove a whole team. Otherwise, Team fortress 2 is a face paced game where solo playing is hard, and skill has little use, creating a fun game where you could have long wars on granary, coordinated rushes and overall fun. The only thing about the game is that you may have to find a clan to do much teamwork. I'd give TF2 a 9.7,(For always needing teamwork, unless it's a pub and no teamwork is present) but score rounds up to 10    … Expand

    Anyway, TF2, where to begin... First of all, I've liked this game roughly a month before I actually played it. I'm not a VALVe fanboy or anything, but that's saying a lot. I don't even know why.
    Maybe it's because it's style and art direction is much different from normal First person shooters, like Call of Duty, Killzone, and countless others, and it's different in a good way. The characters are based almost solely on stereotype (in the non-insulting way). Scout is this fast kid from Boston and is a huge fan of baseball. Heavy comes from the heart of the Soviet Union, and is a huge man mammoth with a big gun. Anything about Pyro that doesn't seem completely obvious at first glance has not been revealed. Each class has it's own personality, weapons (despite a ton of them sharing a shot gun as a secondary weapon), and their own use. Scout achieves objectives faster (x2 speed when capturing a control point), Engineer can build sentries to block off pathways/deny the other team from archiving the objective, Spy can cloak, disguise, destroy those, and kill priority targets. Sniper can do the same, but only when they are in an open area is a Sniper effective. Soldiers and Demomen can be launched by their own explosives, thus being able to clear the area from above. All classes have their own use, and they can be used pretty well in the way they were meant to be used.

    Maps are great. Most maps are symmetrical, so if you know one side you know the other. They all have perfectly tuned length/width (I.E.: Spy can make it from the beginning of a hall way to a little place where most people don't look and uncloak), so that every class can play successfully.

    A lot classes go together. Heavy/Medic combos are ridiculously powerful, but can be overcome with a little teamwork, or some spy comes to give his friends a hand, or his enemies a knife. In the back. Pyro, unlike most classes, can go with most classes and end up helping someone if played right. A Pyro tagging along side of a Heavy/Medic pair can make them last longer, though it may be a bit harder for the Medic. With the new update, Pyros can now compression blast fire off of teammates, and Pyros can be a real threat to Heavy/Medic pairs. A sniper can overlook the front lines and pick off enemies quickly. Classes mix, and teamwork is formed. No matter how good you are, you will always get killed by that Heavy/Medic combo. Teamwork IS victory in this game, not like in other FPS'.

    The music that plays in the main menu is awesome. Too bad no ambiances play in-game. Then again, music doesn't effect how you play the game.

    The servers, like most Steam servers, are either good or bad. And when it's bad it's REALLY BAD, but it hardly happens. The compatibility with custom maps is always good, since most maps that are used are almost as good as VALVe's official maps.

    Scores:
    Not-very-final-score-effecting scores:
    Graphics: 9. It's unique art style really makes it much better than most FPS of today, which seem to rip off of each other.
    Sound: 9.5. I really, REALLY, love the sound. The music is awesome, the sounds are awesome, the voice clips are awesome (needa dispensah here), and the mic quality seems to be better. Seems to be. I never really listen to people with mics on other games.
    Story: That's it's major flaw. It has none. I'm not saying it's not a game with no story mode, but so far that's the biggest problem I can really think of. Hopefully it'll come with a new update or something.
    Important stuff:
    Gameplay: 9.7 The class based multi-player is REALLY fun, challenging, and there's tons of unlockables and counting, refreshing your play experience.
    Online quality: 9.5 Very good. Not the best, but very good. It pretty much depends on how good your connection is. If you can load a moderately sized page in 10 seconds or less, good, if not, bad.

    Overall, 9.6. Due to rating system on this thing, though, I rounded it up.    … Expand

    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.
