First Review!

So, I thought long and hard about how to about this review. Whether I would go about this jokingly or seriously. But, seeing a lack of reviews from people that joined after the F2P update that are serious, i though, meh, lets go serious.

TF2 ISN'T your average shooter. Or at least, your average F2P shooter. You don't need to pay money to get anywhere in the game, as there is no defined way to become better than other players other than practice. There's no 'Pay to Win' elements in the game, none at all.

Even TF2's gamemodes are different from your normal shooters, F2P or not. Nowhere else can you find a gamemode where you're pushing an explosive cart all the way accross the map, just to drop it in a hold and explode everything...usually including yourself. You also won't be able to fight some big shirtless austrailian man who kills people with his bare fists. Nope, none of that's gonna be in your Call of Duty Games.

The community is different as well. On your average day, you'll meet the people who are your regular gamers; the people who casually play TF2 in spare time or with friends. Then you'll meet the tryhards, though don't worry, the tryhards aren't too bad in this game. And of course, there's the trolls, but what's the fun of playing a game online if there isn't at least one troll lurking around.

In the end, I recommend this game to the casual gamers who will only get to play this in their spare time, and I also recommend this to the hardcore gamers, as there is always something to do on here, and there will always be a bomb to deploy/prevent deployment.

And yes, while hats are unfortunately used to judge a players skill, you can still topscore/do your best on a team while wearing no hats at all. Don't worry, it's totally possible.
