[edit] Reception
Team Fortress 2 received critical acclaim after release, with an overall score of 93% on both Metacritic and Game Rankings.[7][8] Many reviewers praised the cartoon graphics approach and the resulting light-hearted gameplay,[6] and the use of distinct personalities and appearances for the classes impressed a number of critics, with PC Gamer UK stating that "until now multiplayer games just haven't had it."[5] Similarly, the game modes and were received well, GamePro described the settings as focusing "on just simple fun",[10] while several reviewers praised Valve for the map "Hydro" and its attempts to create a game mode with variety in each map.[4][5] Additional praise was bestowed on the game's level design, game balance and teamwork promotion.[11] Team Fortress 2 has received several awards individually for its multiplayer gameplay[12][13] and its graphical style,[14][15][16] as well as having received a number of game of the year awards as part of The Orange Box.[17][18] Although Team Fortress 2 was universally well received, Team Fortress 2's removal of class-specific grenades, a feature of previous Team Fortress incarnations, was controversial amongst reviewers. IGN expressed some disappointment over this,[4] while PC Gamer UK stated "grenades have been removed entirely—thank God".[5] Some further criticism came over a variety of issues, such as the lack of extra content such as bots,[4] problems of players finding their way around maps due to the lack of a minimap, and some mild criticism over the medic class being too passive and repetitive in its nature.[5] [edit] References
