ESRB information: M for Blood and gore, intense violence

TF2 is a unique first person shooter from the phenomenal developer and publisher Valve. The game is basically what happens if Warner Brothers were allowed to use strong violence in Looney Toons, though the game is cartoonish the violence is still a bit gross but not realistic like Black Ops. It's a Player vs. Player online shooter with tons of different maps and game types.

     There are nine different character classes you can play as, Number one: Scout. the scout is faster than all the other characters, and has a thick Boston accent, he runs past enemies with his default weapons being a shotgun, an automatic pistol, and a baseball bat. Scouts are good at capturing things in different game modes such as the flag or a control point.Number two: Pyro. If you play as Pyro and know what you're doing then you really can be the most dangerous player on the field by devastating the enemy with the flame thrower, shotgun, and fire axe. Number three: Soldier. In the TF2 youtube videos by Valve the soldier is usually used as a target for other characters but is still a good class to play as, unless you buy him a hat his eyes stay covered by his helmet, he carries a rocket launcher, shotgun, and shovel, I actually think that the soldier is the least interesting class but I have seen some people who really are good with rocket jumping and instant kills. Number four: Engineer. This is some of the best gameplay stuff ever designed, he has a shotgun and pistol for combat but creates turrets, teleporters and dispencers which are little box thingys that give extra ammo and heal. Number five: Heavy. This big Russian runs around with a giantic machine gun that can plow through other players, he also has a shotgun for close quarters and his fists for melee. Number six: Demoman. Demo is the Scottish with the eyepatch who only blows stuff up, he doesn't have any guns, just a grenade launcher and a stickybomb launcher, the grenades blow up by them selves but the sticky bombs can be stuck to walls, ceiling, or floor and detonated with the press of a button, which is great for setting traps. Number seven: Medic. this is one of the hardest classes to play because as Medic your team depends on you to run to their rescue while under fire for you to heal them with your giant ghost bustery looking medical healy thingy......i don't remember its name! but still this class is important, especially for the "Ubercharge" which makes the person you ubercharge and yourself glow and become temporarily invincible.  Number eight: Sniper. This is my overall favorite class because you get to camp out somewhere and shoot people without getting hurt at all! Wrong, you do get to take people out from a distance but you have to check for spies constantly or you'll get killed. And finally number nine: Spy. As spy can disguise yourself as enemies and turn temporarily invisible, but the enemies who you run to backstab with your butterfly knife will check to see if you're a spy which usually ends in death.
    The trailer I linked to above is a trailer from the TF2 beta version, so it has some stuff that isn't in the real game like the scout's handgun, designs for some objects, and how insanely high the soldiers's rocket jump was.



    The game can come for Xbox 360 on the "orange box" which is the Valve collection pack of Team Fortress 2, Portal: Still Alive, and Half Life 2, but it really is better on PC or MAC.
    In the game there is the "Mann Co. Store" where you can buy hats, glasses, and weapons for characters from fifty cents to one dollar.
    The game is incredibly fun and addicting, it has basically no story but is really worth checking out, especially because it's FREE on Steam, in the game there are game types like captures the flag, control points, attack defend, and you know..other stuff.
    9 out of 10 from me, go like get it or something!
