Descripción del fabricante
Team Fortress 2 (TF2) is the sequel to the game that put
class-based, multiplayer team warfare on the map. A long time coming, TF2
was first announced in 1998, but in the years that followed went through various
concept and design changes, which left it looking less and less like the beloved
original release. Luckily by the time the final version came off the presses and
was bundled as part of EA’s 2007 release, The Orange Box, it had returned
to something very close to the original game.

Gameplay
Built around multiplayer battles of two teams, Reliable Excavation Demolition
(RED) and Builders League United (BLU), representing competing construction
teams, players choose between two game modes: capture the flag (CTF) and a
control point mode. In CTF the objective is to obtain a briefcase of
intelligence from the enemy team's base and return it to their own base while
preventing the opposing team from doing the same. In the control point mode the
objective is similar, only related to holding particular territories. To be
successful in either the most important thing is to understand and use each
character class in the best way possible.
A Game That's a Class Operation
Unlike other "class-based" games that offer a variety of combat classes only,
Team Fortress 2 features a wide variety of classes which provide a broad
range of tactical abilities and personalities, and lend themselves to a variety
of player skills. All nine playable character classes from the original game are
available and although a few of these, like the Medic and Heavy generally work
well with any mix of characters, overall each have particular strengths in
offensive, defensive and support capacities. Each also will respond dynamically
with different comical dialogue when in combat.
The full character classes include:
- Pyro - An offensive class with average damage tolerance, Pyros are armed
with a flamethrower, shotgun and a fire axe.
- Engineer - A defensive class with a low threshold for damage, Engineers
can upgrade weapons and equipment and are armed with a shotgun, a pistol and a
wrench.
- Spy - Used for sabotage the Spy carries a revolver, a butterfly knife, an
electronic zapper and a diguise kit.
- Heavy - Tough on offense and defense the Heavy's weapons are the minigun,
the shotgun and his fists.
- Sniper - A support class with low damage tolerance, the Sniper is armed
with a sniper rifle, a submachine gun and a machete.
- Scout - The Scout is fast but susceptible to damage. His weapons are a
sawed off shotgun, a pistol and a baseball bat.
- Soldier - A slow, but a powerful offensive class, the soldier wields a
rocket launcher, a shotgun and a spade.
- Demoman - A defense class with an average amount of protection, the
Demoman is armed with a remotely detonated sticky bomb and a bottle of Scotch.
- Medic - Medics keep other characters alive and are armed with a healing
'medigun,' a syringe-firing launcher and a bone saw.
The importance of the abilities of particular classes aside, far and away the
dominant factor in Team Fortress 2 and the secret to its popularity, is
its clear dedication to fun. This is seen in its rejection of realism in favor
of cartoon-style art in the game's graphics, the inclusion of super weapons like
lasers and missile launchers hidden within the six standard maps and the
attention given to each character's incidental trash talking functionality.
Combined, these simply make for fast-paced, over-the-top fun which are the
building blocks of any multiplayer shooter.
