Team Fortress 2

Team Fortress 2 is a cartoony arcade style first person shooter and possibly one of the most fun games you will ever play.  It is overall just a fun game with fun concepts.  It is free to play now, but it originally came with the Orange Box.  It is arguably the most popular f2p fps in the world.  With the addition of discovering of new items and the store which allows you to buy items, it is becoming way more dynamic and adding a lot of replay-ability monthly.

The game consists of 9 unique different player classes and those include:

  1. Scout - fast moving scatter gunner and melee class.  Quickest and most agile class in game.
  2. Soldier - Slower moving soldier class with a shovel for melee, shotgun for secondary and a rocket launcher for a main weapon.  Your average high damage offensive player.
  3. Pyro - medium speed, flame thrower as main weapon, shotgun as secondary, and an axe as melee.  The pyro lights people on fire for damage over time, and can reflect rockets and other projectiles back at the target.  Also the pyro is a girl???
  4. Demoman - which uses a pill (grenade) launcher as its main weapon and a sticky grenade launcher as its secondary (which must be detonated by the user).  The demo also uses a bottle as its melee weapon.
  5. Heavy - A big man with a LOT of health that moves very slowly but has very high fire power.  He uses a chain gun as his main weapon, and a shotgun as his secondary.  His melee weapons are his fists and he can even eat a sammich to heal himself!
  6. Engineer - Arguably one of the more difficult classes to master the engineer builds stuff.  He can build turrets, tele porters and resupply machines.  He can also melee kill things with his wrench and shoot things with a shotgun.
  7. Medic - The medic likes to keep people alive by healing them while they are in action.  He also uses a needle gun to take his foes out and can hack away at his enemies with a bone saw.
  8. Spy - The spy can disguise himself as anyone on the enemy team to blend in.  He can also go invisible if he needs to sneak in somewhere or run for his life.  His main weapon of choice is usually his knife which he uses to backstab people and take them down in 1 hit.  He also has a revolver which does a high amount of damage and a sapper tool to kill devices built by engineers.
  9. Sniper - The sniper is a sniper.  His main weapon of choice is the high powered sniper rifle, he likes to take his enemies out cleanly with 1 shot to the head.  He also gets a nice sized machete if things get to melee range and a machine pistol for when he is running from a pyro.
All the weapons that the classes use can be switched out for different variations of those weapons that can either be found while playing the game, bought from the online store or traded for from other players.  This game has a lot of replay ability and if played with some friends is tons of fun!
