![]() The TF characters have more in common with the superhuman deathmatch characters of previous Quake fragfests than real world military combat, despite the weapons and uniforms. Obviously, while Team Fortress for Half-Life has a lot of realistic elements, it's not the kind of ultra-realism seen in say Rainbow Six. ![]() I mean, you can slap a rocket in his face and he'll keep on trucking. The Heavy Weapons guy, for example, is likely to be a popular class, since he can dish out and take a lot of damage. TFC installed without a hitch, and after a few reboots (as much the fault of our sloppy systems as the beta itself), we were up and running around some preliminary maps in Capture-the-Flag mode (the only mode working in our beta).Ī couple things we noticed right off-some classes are better than others (though obviously final play-balancing is not in). Each class has its own strengths and disadvantages, and TFC is a multiplayer-only mod. Players take on the roles of different character classes-soldier, medic, demolitions expert-and work together to defeat the opposition. Later, it was offered as a stand-alone title.Basically, Team Fortess Classic is a revisit to Quake's Team Fortress mod. The game started as a modification for Quake, but was later adapted to the engine of Half-Life, originally based on the first Quake engine. He also carries a railgun, a shotgun and some hand and EMP grenades. He can also restore his teammates' armor with his wrench (also used for upgrading/repairing his constructions). * Engineer - his specialty is building stuff: namely, sentry guns, ammunition dispensers and teleporters. He's armed with a tranquilizer gun which slows down its targets, a shotgun, a nailgun, a knife (good for backstabs) and some hand and hallucination grenades. * Spy - he has the ability to disguise himself as an enemy teammate, as well as feign death. * Pyro - armed with a flamethrower and an incendiary missile launcher (as well as a shotgun, a crowbar and hand and napalm grenades), the pyro's role is to spread chaos and confusion by running around quickly and setting enemies on fire. The demoman can also set up high-explosive charges - detpacks, which can destroy certain elements of environment on some maps. * Demoman - he likes things that go boom, so he wields a destructive grenade launcher, as well as a pipebomb launcher (and also a shotgun, a crowbar and some hand and MIRV grenades). He's also armed with two shotguns, a crowbar, some hand grenades and a destructive MIRV grenade. * Heavy Weapons Guy - wielding a gigantic chaingun, the HWG is very slow (especially when firing), but has very high offensive ability and is very tough to kill. While not much of a fighter, he is armed with two shotguns, a nailgun, and hand and concussion grenades. The medic also automatically recovers his hit points. * Medic - apart from healing his teammates with a medikit, the medic can also infect enemies with contagious disease. He is skilled at making very high "rocket jumps" with his launcher. The soldier's role is obviously combat, both in offense and defense. * Soldier - armed with two shotguns, a crowbar, hand grenades, a nail grenade, and - most importantly - a rocket launcher. He also has an automatic rifle, a nailgun and a crowbar, as well as hand grenades in case he needs to defend himself. * Sniper - exactly what it says on the tin, the sniper's role is to stand in one spot and shoot enemies with his sniper rifle. The scout's role is typically to capture the flag and run away quickly while dodging enemy fire. The scout is armed with a shotgun, a nail gun and a crowbar, as well as concussion and caltrop grenades. * Scout - the fastest class, but weakest in combat. The chosen class also affects walking speed, maximum armor and health, and some special abilities. The exact choice of weapons depends on the class chosen. Most of the matches consist of Capture the Flag-type maps, along with variations such as Assassination/Escort, Territory Control, and more.Įach player is armed with a melee weapon, a couple of firearms and one or two types of grenades.
