Default Team Fortress 2 Review

You have not played Team Fortress 2 yet??? Then it’s time you gave it a try! Unlike other FPS games, Team Fortress 2 is a team-based, multiplayer game. It adds a whole new dimension to FPS gameplay, thanks to the element of team play.

Join The_YongGrand as he takes us through the game and some tips for beginners! Then go get a copy and start playing with your friends today!

Here's a quote from the review :-
Quote:
"Other than this concept, there were some problems related to the way real combat was fought - real soldiers don't want to be seen and they are hard to spot, and players must use tactics to minimize their exposure. None of this was actually the fun factor for the players. The fun in the game lies in the ability to make decisions according to what they see, and to do most of the fighting in fairly open spaces."

If I'm not mistaken, the price of the Orange Box when I bought it in Early october is RM175.

The Team Fortress II alone can be purchased and downloaded thru steam for $29.95 (if I'm not mistaken).

Rumors and some news said that the seperate retail package of TF2 will be released next month or later this month.

Also, the new load-out system and the acheivements list along with a new map Goldrush will be out later too.

Well, almost you can say that, except it has 'character' and a wild theme, so you won't be disappointed getting this game as well!

Certainly, even people who don't fancy FPS suddenly find themselves playing TF2. I don't know, but my brother likes playing it...

TF1 already rocks. TF2 rocks even harder!

You might want to consider the Orange Box if you don't have HL2 yet. And Portal from Orange Box is awesome too.

Hi there!

Recently the stand-alone package of TF2 has been released! You can either still purchase through Steam or grab it from your nearest software/games dealer!

And best of all, the new Medic Acheivements and unlockable Medic weapons along with the new map Goldrush will be there around near this time. I'll keep you guys posted about it!

And also, a new "Meet the Scout" video will be coming together with all those updates!

Thanks dude!

Also, maybe I'm getting another TF2 account to play alongside with my brother. He loves that only FPS game. (He don't usually play FPS game, but he fancys that one maybe because it is simple!)

The new medic weapons are a little bit strange - 1st one is the "Bloodsucker" (maybe) where there is no critical hits but will draw the enemy's health a little bit upon hit.

the 2nd one is "Critzkrieg" (critical attack?) where it grants a receipent a 200% health boost and 10 sec. critical hits.

The last one is an "Ubersaw" where you can whack a poor victim and get a little bit of your ubercharge. Whack some more and you'll build it up in less time! (But the whacking process is damn slow!)

Must be very exciting! I wanna get anatter one now!
