Team Fortress was a simple mod for Quake, a semi-famous game. Why is it so famous? If it wasn't for this engine, Valve as we know it would not exist. Why? Source is a reworking of this engine, which was a mod of an engine used for Doom which was a mod of Wolfenstien 3D. Yes, THAT Doom. With Doomyguy and the Big firetrucking Gun 3000.
So, when it was released as what it was, a mod of Quake, it flew off shelves. It was a hit. A sequel was planned and shown at gaming expos. Then, everything just seemed to slow to a grinding halt as it entered Development Hell. It took a decade. But it happened. Team Fortress 2 was released. And it rocked. It had themes, it had jokes, and it took everything you knew about history and fornicated on it. AUSTRAILIA is now the world's best economy, not America. Half of the world is owned through delegations by two spoiled and cockfighting sons of the famous Mann of Mann Co.. Redmond of Reliable Excavation & Demolition and Blutarch of Builders' League United square off using an element called Austrailium to keep the alive for 300 years. It is now the 1960s.
And Redmond decides to hire a group of the best mercenaries from around the world who have little to no idea that they are the best at the job for this. But forcing them into anything they could want at the end of this war was worth it. Hired were:
Dell Conagher, the Engineer. Heir to the Conagher family, he has over 11 PhDs and is skilled in every engineering type known to man. Too the point where he can whack things with a wrench, and they fix themselves. Uses a shotgun, a pistol, a wrench, his PDA which contains his blueprints, and a handheld detonator for when he can't reach his stuff and he needs to build new stuff. Can build a sentry gun, a dispenser, a teleporter entrance, and a teleporter exit.
Tavish DeGroot, the Demoman. He describes his skills like this. "What makes me a good Demoman? If I were a BAD Demoman I wouldn't be here discussing it with you, now would I?" Drinks a lot, has a manky left eye, and drowns away his sorrows after accepting that he is a "Black Scottish Cyclops". HINT: Demoman is short for Demolition Man. He's the explosives and grenades guy. This amounts to sticky bombs that are detonateable from a distances and grenades. He can uses Scottish blades and XXX Scrumpy bottles.
???, the Heavy Weapons Guy takes pride in his size and broke English. With a cry of "Leetel baby-men" he will kill ANY foe within seconds at close range. Boasts the highest HP, but moves slowly and goes as fast as Sniper does when scoped while firing his Minigun, Sascha. Also uses Shotguns, food, and his bare hands.
???, the Medic is a lost man who grew up in a Nazi Germany where the Hippocratic Oath had been downgraded to a optional Hippocratic Suggestion. What he lacks in social skills and care for his fellow man, he makes up for with a syringe gun that fires needles at enemies, a Medi Gun that boots the healing rate of injuries and can, as long as it is being used, boost a Healee to 150% of their total health. But once the Medigun is off them it drops to 100%. When you heal enough people your Ubercharge will fill. When you use, for a short period of time you and the person you heal will be invincible. And whoever you are healing can use whatever killing method of choice for the next 10 seconds of manslaughter. Best combined with Heavy's medigun to make an invincible, 450 HP badass. In his meele slot, he carries a medical saw on a gun handle.
???, the Pyro grew up a freaky child. His morbid curiosity with flames made him to the point where he always wears a gas mask. Always. His only speak is always in mumbles and he is generally viewed by BLU Spy to be a "soulless monster". Because his flames will not only expose any spies, they will also inciderate them. In his second slot he carries a shotgun and in his third slot he has a Fire Axe.
???, the Scout is a tough youth from South Boston, Massachusetts. He can jump twice in the air, boasts enough self-confidence to rival Heavy or Spy, and makes a general immaturity of himself as he pisses off his foes. Being the fastest, he is possibly the only class that can outrun a Level 3 Sentry Gun and can capture intellegence and control points twice as fast as any other character. Uses a sawed-off shotgun, invincibility soda, pistols, and a baseball bat for close combat.
???, the Sniper is a secluded and quiet Austrailian with a love for his job. Yet, he is in now way absolutely thrilled at killing, he just enjoys his job. No, he doesn't have feelings as professionals replaced those with standards long ago. Be Polite, HINT:THESE ARE ACTUAL ACHIEVEMENTS. and take off your hat to your dead opposition. Be Efficient as possible and manage to kill three people in a row with three headshots. Can use Jarate, that's right, his own piss, as a damage inhibitor for himself or his enemies. But beyond that you are throwing your piss on people. Has been mistaken for lemonade before to disastrous results. Also has a relatively weak SMG, a shield to prevent Spy backstabs, and a Kukri knife.
???, "I have personally killed 6,078 men in cold blood while looking them in the eye; jumped on 1,455 live grenades; and stuffed fourteen feet of my own intestine back into my stomach.
If that doesn't scare you out of your frilly pink leotards, guess what: You are an idiot and you hate America." SOLDIER is batshit insane. A true example of an American hero and a person who would fight to death for his country, Soldier is actually deemed to effective for the military. He has been rejected and banned from every single part of the army. Lives in waiting of enemy attack with crates full of surplus tomato soup and magazines, just waiting for anyone who isn't the rib delivery boy to try and knock on his door. Owns a rocket launcher, a shotgun, and a foldable shovel to cause blunt force trauma.
???, Spy considers himself to be a dashing rouge. He also boasts one of the biggest senses of humor of the cast as viewed by his Domination qoutes. Spy is a weak fighter, but he boasts strange abilities. While his first weapon is a revolver and his second a butterfly knife for melee and backstabbing for instant kills, it stops there. His third tool, a Invis Watch, can cloak him for a period of time, only visible if he bumps into enemies or is damaged. He may not attack while cloaked. He can use his special last item as a disguise kit. To his enemies he'll look just like the class he chooses and highlighting him shows a username of an opposing team member. Until he attacks, it is up to his enemies to determine if he's a spy or not. It may just be too late because if you leave your back exposed to a Spy, he can backstab you for a 1-hit kill.
Guess what. Blutarch got word of what he was doing and managed to assemble a team of people who coincidentally have the same everything but are different people. And so Team Fortress 2 begins in a secluded desert in Australia.
