Although Team Fortress 2 might appear to be like any other shootergame, it's definitely not. The strong teamspirit it arouses and the subtle intertwined humor -which is probably mostly invoked by the players- makes the experience more worthwhile than most other shootergames. Also, this isn't only about murderous killing and blowing up opponents, it's about defending and aiding your teammates on the go. A strategically placed turret can be as vital as a supportive medic on the battlefield, or a spy/sniper insta-killing the most damage inflicting enemy. The player can choose whichever class he likes the most and become the best of it's kind. It's not like one class is stronger than the other -even with the items you earn on the go-, they all have their up- and downsides. You'll just have to get to know them.
And when you don't already feel confortable playing against experienced opponents, why not practive in Mann VS. Machine?
It's a brilliant way to enhance co-operative thinking and doing what you consider the most important.
And it's furthermore a great way to get to know potential comrades for "the real thing"...
KABOOM!
