Team Fortress 2 OK, so I got it. $30, pretty good price.
Its a very "different" FPS. The cartoonishness action and reaction is pretty funny. Figuring out how to play is a bit tough. Figuring out what to do is tougher.
Yes, you run around and shoot. But there are other things;
EVERYONE has a shotgun or machine gun. Except spy, who has a really powerful knife.
As a engineer you build stuff. I have no clue what they do except for the sentry gun. Somehow you are suppose to collect metal to make more stuff, but I dont see any metal anywhere or how to collect it.
Medics shoot this healing ray. They also have a gun that shoots needles that is very innacurate and close range only.
Pyro is my second favorite. You burn stuff, its great. You have toons running around on fire.
The weird stuff is voip you seem to talk to everyone. I have not found a way to only talk to your team. Ive turned it off because everyone annoys me (which is actually common, so maybe its normal for everyone else).
Also people can spray pictures AND songs. This guy was a pyro and every time he lit someone up, he played "Disco Inferno" Over and Over and Over. Not good.
Very fast paced. You cant really enjoy the weapons or toonage going on.
If you are a serious FPS person that wants everything realistic, this is NOT your game. If you want an FPS that is something different and laid back and you dont care what happens, this is it.
For jumping into the game knowing nothing, I scored in the middle of a 16 player server. This was a clan server with members that really understood the game. So that was good.
I dont know if there is a demo out for this game or not, I looked for one and then just finally bought it because of the price and that it HAD to be fun, which it is, but you may want to try a demo of it.
