Team Fortress 2 (also known as TF2), is the sequel to Team Fortress: Classic, a game that put class-based, multiplayer team warfare on the map. Even though TF2 is the most anticipated online action game, it delivers new gametypes, a signature art style powered by VALVe's next generation animation technology, persistent player statistics, lots of achievements, hats, +50 weapons, and more.
What are the gametypes on TF2?
TF2 has lots of gametypes, such as Capture Point, Zombie Fortress, King of the Hill, 1 vs All, etc.

Team Fortress 2 is essentialy made by two teams: RED (Reliable Excavation Demolition) and BLU (Builders League United)

Team Fortress 2 has 9 classes in-game which are divided by three types:

Offensive, Defensive and Support.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Offensive:

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

1- The Scout

Scout, also named fast-running kid, is a class which has 125 hp (using normal weapons) and 110 hp (using Sandman, an unlockable weapon)
The Scout is an ideal choice if you want an objective done fast, capturing points and moving carts twice as fast as his teammates and spiriting the enemy intelligence away before they even know he's there. He as also the ability to double-jump, which no other class has.

Name - Ammo Loaded - Ammo Carried - Damage Given - Special Ability

Scout's Weapons:

Primary

Scattergun - 6 - 32 - 85dmg/105dmg - N/A

Force-A-Nature - 2 - 32 - 95dmg/100dmg - Knockback Effect, which can be used to Triple Jump (!)

Secondary

Pistol - 12 - 36 - 15dmg/45dmg - N/A

Bonk! Atomic Punch - Infinite - Infinite (6 sec duration, 24sec cooldown) - Makes you immune to ALL damage for 6 seconds. After using, takes some time to recharge and while invincible, you cannot attack.

Crit-A-Cola - Infinite - Infinite (6 sec duration, 24sec cooldown) - Gives you mini critical-hits (double damage) for 6 seconds. After using, takes some time to recharge.

Melee

Bat - N/A - N/A - 35dmg - N/A

Taunt Attacks

, weapon used Sandman - 500 damage, duration of the taunt attack is 5 seconds, does 1-hit ko when hit.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

2- The Soldier

The Soldier, real name Jane Doe, has 200hp and is the bread and butter general assault unit of the team. Equipped with his Rocket Launcher he can make his personal favourite ability: The Rocket Jump - this ability allows the Soldier to pop up in unexpected places and reach areas off-limits even to the Scout and his leaping prowess.

Name - Ammo Loaded - Ammo Carried - Damage Given - Special Ability

Soldier's Weapons:

Primary

Rocket Launcher - 4 - 20 - 90dmg/112dmg - N/A

Direct Hit - 4 - 20 - 112dmg/140dmg - Rockets travel 80% faster and inflict 25% more damage than the Rocket Launcher.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

3- The Pyro

The Pyro has a burning fondness for fire and all things fire-related. Wielding a home-made flamethrower, and with a total of 175hp, the Pyro can set opponents aflame, whittling their health away over time with the ensuing burn damage. Due to the short range of the flamethrower, the Pyro relies heavily on ambush tactics to catch opponents off-guard. One of the primary roles of the Pyro is the vital task of Spy-checking; a puff of flame will ignite both cloaked and disguised Spies, and the Pyro will then proceed to hunt them down with the same mercy and goodwill shown all his opponents—which is to say, none. He can also make use of compression blasts to reflect projectiles and sticky bombs right back to their owners.

Name - Ammo Loaded - Ammo Carried - Damage Given - Special Ability

Pyro's Weapons:

Primary:

Flamethrower - 200 - N/A - When near opponent and always attacking, 122dmg/sec, if ignited only, then 5-6 damage/sec - Alternative fire compressed air which knocks back enemies, redirects enemy projectiles and extinguishes flames on teammates, using 20 ammo per blast.

the Backburner - 200 - N/A - When near opponent and always attacking, 153dmg/sec, if ignited only, then 5-6 damage/sec. - Gives critical-hits when enemy is attacked from behind, but lacks the compressed air-blast ability.

Secondary

Shotgun - 6 - 32 - 60dmg/90dmg - N/A

Flare Gun - 16 - N/A - 30dmg when hit, then 5dmg-6dmg/sec. - Flares ignite any target that is hit by the Flare Gun.

Melee

Fire Axe - N/A - N/A - 65dmg/195dmg

Axtinguisher - N/A - N/A - 33dmg/195dmg - Guarantees critical-damage when opponent is burning/ignited, but inflicts only 50% of its total damage on non-burning opponents.

Homewrecker - N/A - N/A - 49dmg/146dmg - Deals 75% of Fire Axe's damage to players, but 200% to buildings (like Sentry Gun, or Dispenser). It also has the ability of killing sappers from friendly buildings.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Defensive

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

4- Demoman

The Demoman, real name Tavish deGroot, is a Scottish expert with 175 health (150 only with the Eyelander equipped). As his name implies, the Demoman excels at swift disassembly- bouncing his grenades round corners to wreak havoc on enemy sentry gun emplacements while remaining safely out of sight. His sticky bombs are a perfect tool for area denial, keeping opponents away from any carts, control points and intelligence cases he deems off-limits.

Name - Ammo Loaded - Ammo Carried - Damage Given - Special Ability

5- Heavy

A towering, ham-fisted hulk of a man hailing from the glorious USSR, the Heavy is, as his name suggests, the heaviest class in Team Fortress 2, boasting the highest stamina, 300hp, the biggest gun, and the slowest footspeed. His firepower is highly impressive, allowing him to quickly mow down opposing babies, cowards and teeny-men in seconds. However, revving up and firing his Minigun brings his already-unimpressive speed to a snail's pace. Though large and imposing, this makes the Heavy somewhat vulnerable on his own, but with his good friend the Medic at his back and a well coordinated team flanking him, he can become an unstoppable embodiment of destruction. The Heavy can even benefit his team in ways that don't involve bullets, fists and bullets. By periodically dropping plates of Sandviches, he can give his teammates a delicious and much-appreciated health boost.

Name - Ammo Loaded - Ammo Carried - Damage Given - Special Ability

6- Engineer

A soft-spoken, amiable Texan with a knack for all things mechanical with 125hp, the Engineer (real name Dell Conagher), chooses to build and maintain buildings that benefit the team rather than engage in much direct combat. The Engineer's various gadgets include the Sentry gun, an automated turret that fires at any enemy in range, the Dispenser, a device that replenishes the health and ammo of nearby teammates and Teleporters that quickly transport his teammates to the battlefield.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Support

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

7 - Medic

The Medic is nonetheless the primary healing class of the team. As the Medic doesn't possess the best arsenal for straight-up gunplay, he can typically be found near the front-lines, healing wounded teammates while trying to stay out of trouble.While healing, the Medic's ÜberCharge bar will fill up until the weapon begins to crackle, at which point he can activate a deadly charge that either makes himself and an ally temporarily invulnerable or gives his patient 100% critical shots for up to 8 seconds.

Name - Ammo Loaded - Ammo Carried - Damage Given - Special Ability

Medic's weapons

Syringe Gun - 40 - 150 - 10dmg - N/A

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

8 - Sniper

A rugged and ready crack shot from the Australian outback, the Sniper prefers to pick his targets off from a distance, though he isn't afraid to get his hands dirty if the situation requires. Preferring to hide in elevated or hard-to-see spots, the Sniper can pick off slow moving classes like the Heavy with ease. The Sniper is also ideal for eliminating enemy Medics, giving his team a chance to advance.

Name - Ammo Loaded - Ammo Carried - Damage Given - Special Ability

Sniper's Weapons

Primary

Sniper Rifle - 25 - N/A - 50dmg (0% charge) , 150dmg (100% charge) / Headshot: 150dmg(0% charge) , 450dmg (100% charge) - N/A

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

9 - Spy

The Spy is an aficionado of sharp suits and even sharper knives who relies on stealth and trickery to aid the team. Using his unique array of cloaking watches, he can render himself invisible and even fake his own death, leaving unaware opponents off-guard. His disguise kit lets him take on the form of any class, allowing him to blend in and sneak behind enemy lines before stabbing his unsuspecting 'teammates', quite literally, in the back. In fact, a swift backstab from behind with the Spy's trusty knife will take out any foe in a single hit. In addition to being able to assassinate key enemies quickly and efficiently, the Spy is great against the Engineer. Using his Electro Sappers, he can disable his buildings, slowly draining their health until they are destroyed.
