I will try to be serious, while making this review. It is also my first review, so there will be some spelling errors and grammer mistakes. :/

Now, the subject of Team Fortress 2, or TF2 for short.
For those of you out there who need a free to play, shooting game, TF2 is an eye-pleasing piece of work. TF2 can be played in many ways, as well as, different gamemodes, plus fanmade gamemodes, from the community. Some people of the community are ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥, sometimes, but there are still nice people here, to teach new players to play the game. If there isn't, well you got me.

So, there are a couple issues that this game has: (If I'm wrong about these, then sorry xD)

- TF2 is more pay-to-win, than anything. People who don't buy things for TF2, are limited to 50 spaces in the inventory and are unable to trade. However, there are ways you can counter these problems. I won't list them here, however, since this is a review, and not a guide.

- TF2 doesn't have a good tutorial. New players might have to rely on youtube, or just go with it, to understand the game. The only in-game tutorials, are for Demoman, Soldier, Spy (I forgot the last one xD). You'll have to play this game more, and practice on certain classes, to be competent at this game.

So, those are the negatives, I would say for the game. TF2 has a lot of positives that, I think make this game fun:

- Just the chaotic, silly nature and style of the game.

- Its diverse set of unlockable weapons you can get from achievements and random drops, as well as crafting. Did you know one of the classes have a Jetpack now?

- Diverse Hats and Taunts, although you'll have to buy or trade to obtain them. Oh yeah, The jetpack I was talking about, You can taunt and kill unsuspecting players by farting. Are you installing TF2 now?

- TF2's gamemodes are a ton of fun! Did you know that the Payload objective from other shooters, originated in TF2? There are also custom, fanmade gamemodes made by the community themselves!

So those were the positives. Overall, I recommend this game to all players, who want to have a free-to-play, shooter experience, with a little bit of sillyness.


For the last part of this review, I would like to share a couple tips, for new players when they start playing this game. I might make a guide for it:

1. Start off by doing the tutorials for Soldier, Demoman, and Spy, and that last one I forgot was there. They will tell you at least what those 4 classes can do.

2. When you get in to a game, and choosing your class, Choose the Soldier as your first class to play. It is an easy class to understand.

3. While in the topic of choosing classes, For you Call of Duty fans out there, Do not go Sniper. I know how you want to do those 360 no-scopes, however it is not possible to do that as the Sniper in TF2. Learn the mechanics of Sniper first, and then play Sniper later when you at least understand your role as the Sniper Class. Also, don't run into battle as the Sniper with an SMG. The SMG is a weak weapon, and should be used to finish off enemies, and not to use as an Assault Rifle. The Sniper also has low health, so running into battle isn't a good idea.

4. If you decide to become a premium player (where you buy something in the Mann Co. Store, and you get benefits for it), you can buy a weapon that is worth .$.47 (or $.46. can't remember xD), you can do this buy selling items, or trading cards from your Steam Inventory into the Steam Community Market. Get $.47 and buy a weapon, and now you are a Premium player!


And thats all I got for tips. Like I said before, I recommend this game to people who want a silly shooter game, and I would give this game a 10/10, as TF2 is my favorite game, and have the most hours over all my games.

The game just got updated, so go ahead and play it!
