What else can I say about Team Fortress 2 that hasn't already been said? This is one of the best games ever made, and yes I am biased.
I used to not like shooters at all when growing up. I always thought they were boring, bland, ugly and they all looked the same and played the same. But I will always remember my reaction when my cousin first introduced me to TF2.
He showed me the Meet the Pyro video, and I remember thinking: "This is a videogame? And a SHOOTER? It looks like a cartoon!"
I was shocked seeing how much personality and charisma all of these characters had, since Call of Duty games made me think the playable characters in a first person shooter were not allowed to have any personality whatsoever. Needlesd to say, I was hooked.
All these years later, after 3000+ hours in this game, and having experienced pretty much all of what it has to offer...I have not gotten tired of it. It simply is too much fun, and even in the bad days, it can still make me laugh just for how utterly absurd it can be.
Everything about this game oozes with charm. The characters, the weapons, the maps, the dialogue, the sound effects, the music, the little amount of world building it has; and the animated shorts....Man, I will forever be furious with Valve for not comitting to make that animated TF2 show with Adult Swim.
Seing a Demoman killing someone with a frying pan, or a Scout hitting someone to death with a fucking fish....Someone dying after a match of rock, paper, scissors, and even seeing both teams do the conga after a 2 hour game in 2fort for some reason; none of these things will ever get old to me. This is a way of fun that other "Class" shooters just can't, haven't and will never be able to replicate again.
I love everything about this game and its community. I know the TF2 community can be....Questionable at times, and the game is infested by bots and cheaters now due to Valve's negligence....
But to me, nothing compares to the feeling of coming back to this game after a couple of rough weeks of not playing it. And completely dominating the enemy team...Or get rolled but still having a laugh, dancing with my whole team in spawn while we get spawncamped...
This game has flaws, I am not perfect at it...But I don't care. This is my favorite game of all time and I will always come back to it for as long as I live.
