A lot of the time gaming comes in waves. There’s a new shooter out? Well we had better dive into it and give it a chance to impress. But, inevitably, the sheen will soon wear off; we’ll start seeing the cracks in the veneer and we’ll soon grow resentful of the newest, prettiest shooter on the market. When that happens it’s good to know that there are still some games, maintaining a good, strong player base, that we can go back to at any time. Team Fortress 2 is one such game.
The game is simple on the surface; 9 classes are available to choose from, each instantly recognisable so as to avoid any confusion.The game then places you onto one of two teams, RED or BLU, and sets you to work. You shoot, burn and stab your way through comedic graphics to capture briefcases, push carts and capture control points. It’s as good as it ever was.
