Team Fortress 2




Now I know all you readers out there missed my brilliant quips for the past month or so and have been beating yourselves with a sack of marbles wondering where I've been. We'll to put it straight I've been hibernating amongst schoolwork and video games, but enough about me; lets talk Team Fortress 2

Being the sequel the original Team Fortress, TF2 (T for Team,F for Fortress and 2 for the IQ of people who ask what TF2 means later on) picks where the last one left off; killing other players as a variety of classes which give you some sense of individuality. You have your spy, heavy weapons man, soldier and annoying scout; all of which have their weaknesses and strengths. No horse dung.

Moving on the Game is a fresh breath into the pre-teen Ritalin consuming genre where clicking as fast as you can = pwnage (sorry for sounding like a twit, it was only for effect). The game forces you to know you're class and how to use them effectively. And that's about it really.

I'm serious, it's not the gigantic leap in multiplayer gaming you all thought you were getting into when you proceeded to let Steam sodomize you with another piece of Half Life 2 spin. The maps become more lame than Samuel Jackson in "Invincible" after several hours of play and there are still those annoying twats who find glee in drive nails through your ears into your lungs.


But aside from the shortcomings I still love the game and would greatly enjoy to be the only person on the planet who thinks its merely 'meh; but I simply cannot. Granted the game isn't the multiplayer game I was looking for but it is a gigantic flamethrower to fire leap until compare to Counter Strike and all the other FPS rip offs that have a gimmick. TF2 doesn't have a gimmick. The class system really does matter and truly puts the Team in TF2 (vomit). Letting the tard who cleans the dishes in a school dining hall pick your class is a poor decision because you actually have to put some thought. Provided you aren't the pubescent hyperactive child who thinks Halo is better than a steak and a blow job and have made it all the way through to the end of this rant, or said tard who cleans dishes.

So in two seconds of closure because formal conclusions are for Philosophers and Historians, buy TF2 please and learn to like your teammates

Yeah, TF2 is a great game. I even rent TF2 dedicated server from Nationwide Bandwidth 24 Players max,dual CPU, with pretty much no lag, and very low ping most of the time, I hope to see you play with us!
