Yes, this game has been out for FOREVER.
Yes, I would play this game daily if I had the chance.
Leave it to Valve to make a great game. Have a said that I love Valve? Of course I have! And this game, although a bit off the wall, proves why.
The Pros: This game is almost a parody to any team shooter invented. You got your sniper, your soldiers, your heavy weapons guy... you name it, they've got it. Play as what you want and get your kills how you want! Like to backstab your friends? Pick the spy! Like to sit back and relax? Pick the engineer! The comic graphics and stereotypical characters (maybe aside from the black, Scottish, and one-eyed Demolition Man) are a crack up, while the strategy keeps the game interesting.
The Cons: TF2 is online only. This is a perfect invite for every 12 year old boy who got a hold of his big brother's Orange Box. I cannot tell you how many times I've been booted from a match for being A) Female or B) uhhh. Female? It's pretty ridiculous. Also, their online engine is occasionally glitchy, so don't be surprised if you drop out of a game, or... hey, is that Engineer building his sentry in MID-FUCKING-AIR? Lastly, sometimes games are rigged to have only Snipers, or some other class which ruins the strategy of TF2. Especially if the Blu team are all Snipers and the Red team are all Spies... Yeah, I'm looking at you... stop rigging my game!!!
My Conclusion: Join the right team. Help each other. If there's a Medic with an übercharge on a Heavy who's camping outside your base, encourage Spies and give them a taste of their own medicine. After all, this is a team game. Essentially, plug in that mic and strategize. Have fun with it, and don't ruin someone else's. This game is pure enjoyment as long as people play nice.
