A couple of weeks ago, Valve Cooperation released several games on their Steam network, which are all free to play; you download the game, via steam, and play the game.
During this week, several announcements has been released about Team Fortress 2 and the "Uber-update". It all ended today, with the release of a brand new patch, with several new items/weapons to obtain, a brand new mini-movie in the "Meet the..." series and most of all the fact that Team Fortress 2 is now free to play, just like Enemy Territory.
For those who do not know the game, it is a class-based first person shooter with several and different types of game modes, ranging from CTF (Capture the Flag) to Payload (a sort of goldrush-type of game play)

And you can start playing competitive just after downloading the game,TF2 has lot of shitnoobs playing it.Just go to #tf.wars or something like that and search for div6.
Badlands and granary are most played maps, check them out 1st.

www.tf2lobby.com "similar to gather(low skilled)"
If you find my name familiar and you are atleast med skilled in ET you can add me,can give you a quick tour.Steam Tuiskam or http://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561197997078763/ :)
Im mostly online at nights btw.
and what about heavy? It's pretty easy to own with him!
Heavys are slow.Only place where heavy can be useful is last point defence(usualy scout goes heavy).Heavys are big and can be easily taken down by spam and medic can't heal heavy all the time.
There are few times when soldier goes heavy, like when attacking granary last,or on gullywush having full time heavy is ok.
Scouts usualy go heavy/sniper.
Gravelpit might be only map where you could have pyro,engineer,spy,heavy,sniper running around at the same time.
On other maps both teams are suppose to get others last point.
There are few times when its smart to go engy on last defence tho (mostly when enemy s medic is running kritz).
There's also Highlander in TF2.9vs9 all classes are represented but this isn't as popular as 6on6.
Medic healing heavy = team is low hp all the time or dead.
Heavy has lot of stoping power but not pushing.
If you attack as a heavy you will be 5 secs late to middle,thats a long time,atleast long enough time to enemy team to set up solid defence and demoman enough time to put down stickys.Most of the time its not gonna work if you play against good players.If It suprises enemy team it might work 1 round,not 2nd.
But having 2xscout and solly + 1x medic and demo is better
for those who wonder, yes i did steal this account from jonasty.
always heard great stuff about this game and i love that they have classes too and like cartoon gfx :)

EDIT: After 10 gb of download and testing for a few hours I can say that this game is the worst I've played in years and I can understand it going free.
I guess is fun if you are like 12... teamplay is 0. comic style... well not even comic, just kiddies style. OFC is an arcade but well... is just shoot shoot and nothing more. I'm already bored after 1 hour playing.
The spy that gibs you from behind at 120 km/h would need an entire journal, and the snipers... another journal.
The documentation, videos etc are awesome but the game is pure shit sorry to say, really wanted to like it even with those graphics.
anyway now is free so give it a try if you like those type of games, ofc comparing it to ET is a big joke.
Spys are easy to take down,and if you play abit then spys are obvious.Spys are only faster than heavys.
Snipers are usually only a problem for heavy class or you are bad at doding.
Enemy Territory's pubs are a joke - shooting only.People in TF2 actually try to do obj.
Personally I would prefer ET 6on6 over TF2 but ET is pretty much dead,atleast 6on6
but everyone has an opinion
team fortress classic > team fortress 2
