At this point, it's a leading contender for our Multiplayer Game of the Year, and whether you pick it up as part of the Orange Box package or on its own via the Steam digital download service, it's worth every penny.
The Administrator: "Intruder Alert!

Then we still have a problem."[He deposits the Sniper's body on the desk, revealing a bloody Knife in his back]Soldier: "...and a knife."Scout: "Oooh, big problem. I've killed plenty of Spies; they're dime-a-dozen back-stabbing scumbags - like you!"[cuts with the spy knife]Scout: "Ow! No offense."Spy: "If you managed to kill them, I assure you, they were not like me." [The Spy deftly retrieves the knife and flicks it shut, handing it back to the Scout] "And nothing... nothing like the man loose inside this building."Scout: "What're you?

The ideal online shooter: average player can enter the fray and even hurt somebody, while pros will be grinding away milliseconds from the time to carry the suitcase on 2forts. And all thanks to the fact that among the nine classes there is exactly zero useless ones. The only serious drawback is the disgracefully low number of maps: only six. [Dec 2007]
Team Fortress 2 is, at heart, a gloriously simple game that's been created with style, panache and an undeniable love of gaming. It's the kind of game that you want to show to people who don't play games so that they understand and then either get involved or go away. There is life before Team Fortress 2, and there is life after. After is better.
Team Fortress 2 is a beautifully designed game with a visual style reminiscent of old Warner Brothers cartoons, and battles that combine strategy with frenetic action. The only real flaw is the documentation, which is far too skimpy to be of any help at all in learning the intricacies of each soldier class.
This game is a MUST PLAY. Ever since the bot crisis was fixed the game has become more fun than ever, it has beautiful graphics, art styles, gameplay and more. It's the whole shebang. All those who hate on this game are just BAD or they have outdated reviews. #1 Game.
Very fun game to play, but the community is... something. If you meet a fan of Team Fortress 2, they will make sure you know it, and they can be quite annoying at times, but in general its a fun game.
This may very well be the most overrated and over-appreciated game ever churned out by Valve. Spend any time around PC gamers, and they'll bring up Team Fortress 2, along with some kind of praise. This game is downright terrible. It's not fun - you'll find yourself in a lobby full of bots who kill you instantly most of the time. The community servers are garbage, and filled with the most unfunny people you'll ever listen to. The last point is a theme in Team Fortress 2, the community is filled with the worst excesses of society: under-socialized recluses, transvestites, and scrawny autists with high-pitched voices. Even typing all this out gives this game more time than it's worth. I should be paid for having played this trash.
SummaryTeam Fortress 2 (TF2) is the sequel to the game that put class-based, multiplayer team warfare on the map. TF2 delivers new gametypes, a signature art style powered by Valve’s next generation animation technology, persistent player statistics, and more. Unlike other "class-based" games that offer a variety of combat classes only, Team Fo...
