Unfortunately i cannot continue with my Toaster segment so I will start a new segment where i will talk about different computer games because i know you guys like computer games.

The Game

2Fort - CTF
Team Fortress 2 or tf2 for short is a first person shooter game developed by Valve Corporation. This game uses cartoon themed characters and maps for gameplay. In this team based game their are different things you can do as a player. With multiple game modes like Capture the Flag where each team attempts to steal the enemy's flag (from the enemy base) and bring it back to their own base, Control Points is a mode where as a team you must capture points to unlock more points and to capture them all. This game mode has many variants such as attack/defend where 1 team attacks and the other defends until the time runs out or the attacking team captures all the points for that level. The third highly played gamemode is Payload, which has 1 team "pushing the cart" and the other team defending by preventing

them from pushing the cart. There is also a Payload race where both teams have a cart and they try to arrive to the destination before the other. There are many other types of official game modes and countless of other of unofficial game modes as well. There are 9 classes in the game which are divided into 3 groups offensive, defensive, and support classes. In the offensive classes there is the scout, soldier and pyro classes. The scout is the most agile of all the class being able to double jump and capture points faster than other classes. The solider class can do rocket jumps to travel around the map and is one of the more tanky classes (more health). The pyro is the only non male class in the game since its gender is unknown and it lights everyone on fire with its close combat flamethrower. Under the defensive classes there is the demoman, the heavy and the engineer.
TF2 - Classes
The demoman is the explosive expert with a grenade and sticky bomb launcher he knows how to start a party. The Heavy is the class with the most health and wields a massive machine gun which is used to mess people up. The engineer is a character which uses building to help attack and defend. Having a sentry (place able turret), dispenser for health and ammo, and a teleporter to help your team move from one place to another he is a key role in some game modes. Finally we have the support classes which comprise the medic, the sniper, and the spy. The medic's key role is to heal the team using a special gun called the medi-gun. The sniper is a long range assassin sued to take out any dangerous foe with his zoom able sniper rifle. The spy is the most diverse class with the largest amount of different weapons at his disposal. Having a revolver for a bit of range he largely relies on his knife to insta-kill most classes. As well as having a watch that can turn him invisible he can change to look like any class in the game on either team's colour. And to take out the pesky engineers he has a mechanical sapper to destroy those sentries.

     TF2 is a free to play game where a player gets 50 backpack slots and mostly everything a premium member gets. Every time you play there are item drops where you can get weapons or other drops up to 12 a week. After a while your backpack will fill up and for 0.49$ you can upgrade to premium and get 300 backpack slots, trading, and a few other privileges. There are hundreds of achievements and after completing some you can get special awards such as weapons, hats and in-game tools.

  1. This game seems like it would be interesting. The graphic looks cute? I wouldn't want to play it thought because it looks like just another shooting game.
