Team Fortress 2

Team Fortress 2 is a First Person Shooter made by Valve. In 1968, the brothers Redmond and Blutarch Mann, owners of the companies RED (Reliable Excavation Demolition) and BLU (Builder's League United) respectively, duke it out for land. Their two companies each control half the world, and are both in turn controlled by TF Industries, run by the Administrator, a mysterious woman who oversees the skirmishes between the mercenaries the two brothers hire. Also factoring in is Saxton Hale, owner of the Weapons company Mann Co and Super-Strong Australian.

However, that's just backstory that factors in in no way to the gameplay. The game is exclusively multiplayer, and features nine classes;
  • The Ultra-Mobile annoying Scout from Boston;
  • The overly patriotic Central American Soldier;
  • The enigmatic Pyro;
  • The perpetually drunk Scottish Demoman;
  • The Minigun and Sandwich-loving Russian Heavy;
  • The Texan Engineer, descendant of the developer of the life-extension machine that keeps the Mann brothers alive (they've been fighting since 1850)
  • The Australian Sniper, who lives in his camper van;
  • The French Casanova Spy
  • The mad scientist German Medic

The two teams duke it out for glory, territory and hats with a variety of weapons from bog standard pistols and space laser cannons to giant candy canes and jars of piss. I know a few people around the forums play, so I thought I'd throw up a thread.

I haven't played TF2, but I heard it was pretty good. Too bad I don't have an appropriate computer for it.

I play it every now and then. I stick with Spy, Engy, and Pyro, typically.

Search function is your friend guys.

Before my laptop died, I used to play a few hours each day. My current computer can't handle it unfortunately =/

I used to play everything a little, but I kinda sucked on Spy, Sniper, and Demo. I'm pretty good/terrible as a WM1 Pyro.

I played Sniper because I wasn't good controlling the other classes. I haven't played in 2 years since I don't use a mouse on my laptop.

Look up the new flamethrower's taunt.

By this logic the Phlogistinator is the best weapon in the game.

I'm just saying the taunt is awesome.
Besides, it's essentially the stock flamethrower - do you think that's shit too?

Even with the buff, no sane pyro uses the normal flamethrower.

And note I said "shitty new weapons". A reskin really doesn't count as a "new weapon".

(I bet Heavy doesn't even say NUUUUUUUU WEAPON with Iron Curtain)

BORKED

So this is a thing. This can help you understand what's going on.

And personally, I hope that we might be able to get a game of it going.

Hey, welcome to the forums. To be honest, this thread isn't particularly active, but I thought there was enough people interested to post this.

I'm looking into other threads as well, and I'm certainly glad this thread is up where people can put their own opinions or other related stuff. But the ROBOTS...GRAY ROBOTS.
