This is the thread dedicated to team fortress 2. A game released by valve in



Team Fortress 2 (commonly abbreviated as TF2) is a free-to-play team-based first-person shooter (FPS) multiplayer video game developed by Valve Corporation.  years later. Team Fortress 2 is distributed online through the Steam system.

Redmond, Blutarch, and Gray Mann were born in 1822 as fraternal triplet sons of Zepheniah Mann, the owner of a successful arms manufacturing business. Gray, already sentient and intelligent, was taken within minutes of birth in the Great Eagle Scourge of 1822; Zepheniah would withhold knowledge of Gray from everyone else.[25] Redmond and Blutarch were extremely competitive, attempting to vie for favor from their elderly father as to inherit the company after his death. In the 1860s, they convinced Zepheniah to purchase numerous pieces of land in the United States as assets for the company, but once they traveled there, they found the land to be barren dustbowls and gravel pits. Further, the travel caused Zephenian to come down with numerous maladies, and soon died thereafter. In his will, Zepheniah bequeathed the company to his aide, the Australian hunter Barnabas Hale, his estate to his maidservant, Elizabeth, and as punishment, ordered that Redmond and Blutarch were to fight over the worthless land they had made him acquire. Soon, Blutarch created his own company Builders League United (BLU) and hired mercenaries to fight for him; Redmond followed suit with his own company, Reliable Excavative Demolition (RED).[26]
Their battles continued for forty years, with neither brother relenting. Blutarch realized that they would die soon, and hired an engineer, Radigan Conagher, to build him a life-extending machine, believing that by outlasting his brother, he will have won. Conagher was later met by a mysterious woman that offers him a stash of the valuable metal Australium in exchange for building Redmond an identical machine. Conagher agrees, but later it is shown that he also built a third identical machine for an unknown entity.[26]
Battles between RED and BLU continued for over sixty years; both Redmond and Blutarch hired new mercenaries to fight for them in 1968. By that time, their battles are overseen by the Administrator, the granddaughter of Elizabeth, while the Australian Saxton Hale has become CEO of Mann Co, the company that provides all the weaponry for both sides of the conflict.
Some time in the future, Redmond and Blutarch are brought together through letters they believed were sent by the other; both having cheated death for many years realize their folly and propose a truce to create a machine that will make one of them pregnant as to continue the heir. Gray reveals himself as their brother and arranger for this meeting, trying to convince them that instead of fighting over worthless gravel, to instead take over the technology-savvy Mann Co, which should be theirs by birthright. Neither Blutarch or Redmond agree to budge on the new technology, and Gray kills them both.[27][25]
Gray uses his own army of robots to attack Mann Co. facilities all across the world. Saxton Hale hires the mercenaries, jobless since their employers were killed, to defend the Mann Co. sites against Gray's forces

Gamemodes include Capture the flag, Control point, Payload and others. And the recently new Mann vs Machine

There are 9 classes.

Assault
-The Scout (voiced by Nathan Vetterlein) is a fast-talking baseball fan and street runner from Boston, Massachusetts, who practiced running to "beat his maddog siblings to the fray."[39] As a result, he is a fast, agile character, armed with a Scattergun, a Pistol, and an aluminium Baseball Bat. The Scout is capable of performing double jumps and also captures control points and pushes payloads as fast as two teammates doing the same; however, the Scout cannot sustain much damage, making bleed and burn ailments very devastating 

Meet the Scout

-The Soldier (voiced by Rick May) is more durable, but is consequently slower in his speed. A stereotypical American military man (despite the fact that he is a fake),[40] the Soldier is armed with a rocket launcher, Shotgun, and a Shovel for melee combat. The explosion radius from the rocket launcher can be used to rocket jump to higher positions, similar to the mechanic from the game Quake.

Meet the Soldier

-The Pyro (voiced by Dennis Bateman), a mentally-unstable pyromaniac of unknown origin or gender, completely clad in a fire-retardant suit and a voice-muffling gas mask. The Pyro carries a homemade Flamethrower as its primary weapon- this can set other players on fire, as well as being able to produce a blast of compressed air that knocks nearby enemies and projectiles away and can extinguish friendly players who are on fire. The Pyro carries a Shotgun as its default secondary weapon, but is able to unlock a Flare gun to set fire to enemies from afar, and uses a Fire Axe for melee combat

Defense

-The Demoman (voiced by Gary Schwartz) is a black, one-eyed Scotsman who drinks heavily.[42] Armed with a glass Bottle, Grenade and Sticky Bomb Launchers, the Demoman can use his predominantly explosive weaponry to provide indirect fire and set traps against enemies.

Meet the Demoman

-The Heavy (also voiced by Schwartz) is a stereotypical Russian character, heavy in both figure and accent, obsessed with his guns to the point of giving them human names (e.g. demanding to know "Who touched Sasha?"). The Heavy can sustain more damage than any other class, can gain more health or enhance his abilities by eating food like the Sandvich or the Dalokohs Bar (chocolate bar), and can put out immense amounts of firepower, but is generally the slowest of all the playable classes. His default weapons consist of his own Fists, a Shotgun, and an enormous Minigun that he affectionately refers to as "Sasha"

Meet the Heavy

- The Engineer (voiced by Grant Goodeve) is the last defensive class, portrayed as a relaxed and intellectual "good ol' boy" from Texas.[44] The Engineer is capable of building a number of structures to support his team: a tripod sentry gun for defending key points, a health and ammunition dispenser, and a one-way teleporter system.[38] He is armed with a Shotgun as his primary weapon, a Pistol as his secondary weapon, and a Wrench as his melee weapon, which is also used to speed up with building, repairing and upgrading his structures.

Meet the Engineer

Support

-The Medic (voiced by Robin Atkin Downes) is a German doctor from Stuttgart with little regard for the Hippocratic Oath,[45] responsible for keeping his teammates alive. The Medic is accordingly armed with a special "Medigun" to heal teammates, and can make teammates temporarily invulnerable, enhance their firepower or maximize healing after the Medic's ÜberCharge is filled to maximum by healing enough damage. The Medic is also equipped with a gas-powered Syringe Gun and a Bonesaw to fight if the need arises

Meet the Medic

-The Sniper (voiced by John Patrick Lowrie) is a cheerful Australian ocker-style character who rationalizes his line of work,[46] equipped with a laser-sighted Sniper Rifle to shoot enemies from afar, a Submachine gun for close combat, and a Kukri for melee attacks

 Meet the Sniper

-The Spy (also voiced by Dennis Bateman)in addition to a revolver, he is equipped with covert tools, such as a temporary cloaking device disguised as a watch, an electronic sapper to sabotage and potentially destroy enemy Engineers' buildings, and a device hidden in his cigarette case that enables him to disguise as other players. The Spy can also use his butterfly knife to stab enemies in the back or sides, which instantly kills them.
