Although this news is not new, it is worth remembering from time to time, so that all those possibly clueless come out of their cave and finally find out about the great opportunity that is offered to them. And Valve, since last June 24, has made the game Team Fortress 2 free for everyone for both Windows and Mac. Forever.
As I hope you know, Team Fortress 2 is a team-based first-person multiplayer shooter. There are nine types of characters different, each with their specific characteristics and weapons. We can choose between Pyro, Engineer, Sniper, Spy, Heavy, Demoman, Medic, Scout and Soldier (in order in the image above) to achieve different objectives on a map, ranging from capturing control points to protecting and moving an explosive charge to the enemy base.
As you play you will find different weapons with which to better equip your character to make it more in line with your playing style. You can also use an endless number of hats, which, although they are useless, add a very fun aesthetic touch to the game, not to mention that in the long run the real challenge of the game is to get as many hats as you can. The objects, in addition to equipping themselves, are used to make other weapons or objects by combining a certain series of them. You can also exchange them with other people to get the item you are looking for. The game also incorporates an online store from which you can buy all the in-game objects with real money.
The game is acquired and used from the Steam platform, which you can download for free from its official website. From this service, you can also stay in touch with your friends, talk to them by text or audio, see what games they have been playing, enter their games to play with them and a lot of other options. Not to mention that the platform supports a huge number of achievements that you have to complete, stretching the lifespan of the game even further: 379 achievements, and growing.
Team Fortress 2 offers everyone infinite hours of entertainment completely free of charge. So I don’t know what you’re waiting for, stop reading this and start downloading it to try it. You will see how in a few minutes you are doomed to get hooked.
