Team Fortress 2
Nine classes and modes from Capture the Flag to Payload make Team Fortress 2 a multiplayer shooter built for different team roles. Since the Steam game is free, the purchase question is more about optional items than access to the game itself. 
Steam currently lists $0.00.
Training and offline practice offer a way in before you move to online matches. Players looking for company can use cross-platform multiplayer; the core experience remains focused on team combat and varied class abilities. Team Fortress 2 is free on Steam, so the current $0.00 at Steam concerns optional purchases rather than access to the game.

I'll update this once I have time to gather my thoughts about the newest update. Last Revision: 09/29/16 This update in a nutshell Recent Update Edit 5: After over 2 months Valve finally added in a "stay in the damn game I queued 5 minutes for" option. Sadly, the community has become very conditioned by the previous, garbage system into leaving the match as soon as it is over. Gone are the days that you could marathon a map. Note: Valve has claimed that they will fix some of the issues below; however, until they are actually fixed, they will remain on this review. Intro I have played TF2 for close to 7 years. Over this time I have seen many improvements and many steps backwards. As of today, 7/8/16, Valve managed to kill some of the best portions of the game in order to try and compete with recent other games (Overwatch). Lets go over some things. Awful Stuff Quickplay has been replaced with "Casual" game modes. There is no more quickplay. You MUST queue to play on a Valve server. You can not join them from the server browser. Best load a YouTube vid or two because you will be waiting for a while if you like to play alternative gamemodes. You can't queue in the background... You must sit and stare at the queue screen. Why in the world can we not queue and then mess with our loadout? There is a purely cosmetic ranking system in "Casual". There is NO incentive for ranking up. Like at all. If you are going to add a ranking system, make ranks actually reward you with item drops or something. The implementation is lacking. The server browser is and always has been trash. The thing is over a decade old and no improvements have been made. After giving us a better system (quickplay) then abruptly removing it, the browser feels even worse. There is no reliable way to find a quick pickup game where you won't be spammed with dozens of forced adverts,all-talk , donor perks, plug-ins, or terrible admins (I'm looking at you Skial and Pinion servers) I've been matched in lobbies where my ping is over 150. After queuing for over 15 minutes, that is an absolute disappointment. I never thought I'd complain about this, but the removal of autobalance is tragic. Many times, people disconnect and screw their teammates. Playing 12 vs 8 payload is not enjoyable. Getting steamrolled repeatedly is incredibly frustrating. As of right now the "TF2 Game Coordinator" is pretty trash about balancing teams. The teamstack is real. You can't play ctf_well, ctf_sawmill, and ctf_2fort_invasion in casual mode. I'm mostly baffled as to why they removed sawmill. The only supported competitive mode is 6v6. The Righteous Bison used to do more damage to enemies that were moving away from you. This was touted as a feature in the game hints. When the MyM update dropped, Valve removed this and called it a bug. The Pyro's hit registration is still broken. How can you have a Heavy vs Pyro update when one class can't reliably deal damage with their primary? I hope you like hackers because they are crawling out of the walls. Some of the highest ranked competitive players are well known hackers and they still have not been banned. The performance feels like it has gotten worse. This game is horridly unoptimized. You'll drop frames faster than the housing market crash! Fixed Stuff - Viewmodel FOV resets to a nauseating 54 degrees on first boot Took them half a month to fix something that was previously in the game. "Valve time" - You are penalized for leaving a CASUAL game. (How does that make sense?) - You can NOT pick what map you wish to play on in "Casual - You may NOT pick which game mode you wish to play on in "Casual" - Queues to get into a "Casual" game are 30 minutes long on average Queues are getting better, I've gotten into a few games with 5 minute waits. Good luck trying to queue into an obscure game type though... - There is no way to kick hackers or idlers from "casual" games - You can't play multiple matches without disconnecting and requeuing. Who thought this was a good idea? It took 2 months to fix this. 2 months. Stuff that isn't crap New "minimized viewmodel" mode is quite spiffy If you get disconnected from a game by crashing or losing internet, upon rebooting the game will prompt you to rejoin the game you dropped from You can queue with friends. Summary Would I recommend this game in its current state? No. It is not as accessible or fun as it used to be. Competitive should have been an addition, not a replacement for the existing structure. TF2 was never about winning, it was about fun, and much of that has been lost in this pseudo-competitive environment that was thrust upon us. I adore TF2. It used to be a fun, absurd hat-based combat simulator. It no longer feels like that. But hey, it's free... Old Edits Edit: Let's hope that I can continue to cross things off this list. Edit 2: The issue remains that around 2 years ago, the Quickplay update killed off many community servers. Quickplay allowed new users to QUICKLY find a game on the map they desired and enjoy a no-hassle, vanilla experience. This new update has made finding a game a pain. It is clunky, and far from the "upgrade" that Valve toted. If you do not wish to play the "Casual" game mode, you must comb through piles of crap servers to try and find one without annoying adverts, plugins, and abusive mods. Good luck finding ones that aren't running stupid cp_Orange_x3 (I hate that map). Valve has made a blog post mentioning that they will change certain aspects, but until the issues are fixed, the vanilla experience is not as accessible to new players or enjoyable to long-time veterans. Edit 3: Updated review. Quit groaning that I do not spend every waking moment updating this crap. I'll update it at my leisure. Edit 4: Changed bulletpoint format as it would not appear properly on the preview.Show moreShow less

My hours. help. I wrote something for real! These hours are legit, I played this game a lot in the past to avoid some tragic stuff in real life. I was young and didn't really have my gaming consoles anymore because of my brothers and I had a really bad pc, which i still own. TF2 was one of the games i could play pretty well on this pc but with horrid graphics, but it was one of the more fun games I installed. I met some real cool and nice people on this game as well as people who i plan to keep by my side. The community back then was more humble compared to nowadays. You have competitive gamers who spam their bind keys with unfunny/gross jokes and very obnoxious people who are either yelling at you or telling you to do specific things to win the game. When really, it doesn't even matter if you win or lose. However, you also have those people who are really awesome and you may meet some nice friends along the way! Although you never know what kinda person you're going to meet on this game. In my honest opinion, if you want to have a game to just waste time on (and money) or just mess around with people you know (which is what I do now), this is perfect. Esspecially the mann vs. machine co-op. I mainly play that now. Although to me, the game lost its touch, update wise, and I moved onto other games. I believe it's worth a shot to try it out but other than that, I'd keep it as a casual game. I don't think the competitive scene is worth getting into anymore because it's being flooded by crude people. Atleast from my experiance after over about 4+ years of playing it just got worse and worse. You will eventually be tied into drama even if you try to avoid it. You'll be more stressed than actually having fun, I'll tell you that! Although in all seriousness, this game is losing its touch and probably isn't worth making it your main game MAINLY because the updates they've been releasing are becoming very dull and not as great as they used to be. BUT, it's a great game to just play to pass the time and have fun! All you'll really notice nowdays is...people really love to trade more than actually play. Living off as a free to play would be very tough and you'd need to be patient with items you would want, unless you got that MONEY! Hope this helps. One last thing, I am not saying this game is bad in any way. I am saying that it's worth trying and playing with friends, or even meeting people! Although there are some downsides that you won't like, such as some stuff I pointed out above. Strictly towards the community. I personally think you should have this game as a side game rather than your come home to play sorta thing. Have it as a once in a while game, because it's nothing to be big about, unless you really do not like most of the millions of other games out there. Just give it a shot and see what you think! Have fun <3Show moreShow less

I'm really liking the new "If you don't want to play competitive then ♥♥♥♥ you" update. Bring back the old Quickplay. And no, I'm not going to use community servers. Anybody who has ever been on one will understand how horrible that is. I don't understand why they had to ruin the casual experience to try and force competitive onto everyone. Edit: Stop with the "Valve is fixing it" argument. Is it fixed? No, it isn't. Right now Casual is so terrible compared to what Quickplay was it isn't even funny.Show moreShow less

Oh how the mighty have fallen. TF2 was a game where I spent countless hours talking, playing, and generally have a fun time. About 99% of my friends on my friends list including my close and best friends were met through TF2. TF2 has charming characters with funny and interesting personalities. The backstory is funny and the story was interesting. I have fond memories of spending late nights slicing heads off as a Demoman on Nucleus or market gardening people as Soldier on Hightower. Every day I'd come home and play. The multitude of glitches such as the Halloween doomsday glitch where you could leave the map or the engineer crit glitch. This game was a mess and that was what I fell in love with, a mess, an organized mess. The game was fun even though it wasn’t very balanced with the pyro and the old reserve and all, but it was still fun. The fun lasted a while and stayed strong, that was until the last few months or so. Within the last 6 months I saw this game turn from my most played game to one of my least played (well also the fact that Overwatch came out), and to me that is sad because it was one of my favorites. They killed the pyro class making the pyro twenty times less effective at his job and severely decreasing his dps. I remember when pyros were a threat, now they are the worst class in the game. But that is not what did it for me, I could handle the pyro being bad. This update was the star that broke the camel's back. This update is the worst update in the history of this game and will remain that way till the day this game gets shutdown. Let’s start off with the interface. It sucks. It forces you to default hud. I do have to give it some credit, it does clean up the main menu a bit, but it removed the create server option so no more Tr_Walkway. Next matches have to be qued and you can no longer play on one you must choose 2 of the game modes and then it will choose your map. Really Valve? Plus ranked in “casual”. That’s another thing, casual gameplay was just pubs and there wasn’t anything serious about it just silly fun. Let’s go to gameplay now. Demo and Soldier are OP because for some reason valve increased blast radii. All the weapon changes are weird. Teleporters are insanely cheap to create. The game requires less skill. Items are now more pointless, and generally the whole game is a mess, but this time it’s a horrendous mess, not the mess of a game I fell in love with years ago. In the past I would have given the game a solid 9/10, but now with this update the game is more like a 3/10. Valve is making Call of Duty look like a cutting edge game. Can valve fix TF2? Maybe, but the damage has already been done. I had the dream to do competitive TF2 and my friend had the dream to be on the same team as me, but I guess that is the end of that dream. Both he and I are thinking of quitting the game and cashing out, which the chances for me to do so are high. This game was amazing, and now? It is garbage. It feels sad to leave the game I loved so much and put so much time into. Feels like I’m putting down an old pet. Valve doesn’t listen to their community at all and that is why they suck. If you are a fan of this game I hope you like the new TF2. Looks like I’m going to stick to Overwatch since this game is no longer enjoyable. If you are a new player and like it good for you, but I recommend to stay away from this game. As is has really been turned to rubbish Game Score : 3/10 EDIT: Valve is actively reaching out to fix casual mode (which imo is still kinda dumb) which is good. Lets hope Valve can pull TF2 back out of the rutt they put it in. EDIT 2: I don't really care anymore many balance changes/ changes in general that were added are pointless Here are some reviews that basically explains things better if you really care https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hOHMnySLWKc http://steamcommunity.com/id/Whiplash141/recommended/440/Show moreShow less
