==Description==
 +
A game by Valve that came out in October 10, 2007 as part of ''The Orange Box'' along with ''Portal'' and ''Half-Life 2: Episode Two'' (Also including Half-Life 2 and Half-Life 2: Episode One.) for the PC, [[Xbox 360]], and [[Playstation 3]]. It's also a separate game that [[you]] can get on your PC ''for free'' as of June 23, 2011.
  
The game started life as a sequel to the original Team Fortress mod for Quake, but has since been through various concepts and designs. In 1999 the game appeared to be deviating from the original Team Fortress (and Valve's own Team Fortress Classic) by heading toward a more realistic and militaristic style of gameplay, but the design metamorphosed further over the game's seven-year development. The final rendition of Team Fortress 2 appears to bear more resemblance to the original Team Fortress and Team Fortress Classic games, and sports a cartoon-like visual style, following a popular trend in recent CGI films.
+
The game is a class-based first-person shooter pitting two teams against each other, called the "RED" and "BLU" teams that have been fighting for whatever reason. Other then that just follow the directions to each specific gamemode and you'll do fine. Maybe.
  
The lack of information or apparent progress for six years of the game's development caused it to be labeled as vaporware, and it was regularly featured in Wired News' annual vaporware list among other ignominies.

===Media Information===
 +
It's a [[fuck]]ing video game. What'd you expect, [[Jesus Christ]] popping out of your [[ass]] while Turok rapes and kills [[you]]?
  
As of 2007-08-23, four trailers for Team Fortress 2 have now been released and are widely available on various gaming-related Web sites and Steam, Valve's content delivery system.

Further Information[edit]

  • To help promote the game, VALVe made a series of videos known as Meet the Team, each video featuring one of nine playable classes. The videos for the Heavy, Demoman, Soldier and Engineer were released before the game was, with videos for the Scout, Sniper, Spy, Medic, and Pyro being released later.
  • Only those who own this game on the PC will receive any of the new maps, weapons and bug fixes, as the fucks at EA (Who own publishing rights to the console versions of Valve games) are too busy shelling out their latest installment of some sports game.
  • After the lengthy Meet the Spy video was released onto the Internet in May 2009, a large range of poopers ranging from the obscure to the well-known began pooping it. This was met with much criticism from some people on the forums, who believed that it was to run dry extremely quickly. (But that's because everyone there thinks everything popular and humour-related is a fad.) A similar event happened with "Meet the Sniper", as well as "Meet the Scout."
