Is it still worth playing?
Valve's 2007 team based multiplayer first person shooter, released in The Orange Box for Windows and Xbox 360. Its cartoonish style is inspired by mid 20th century commercial illustrators, with a 1960s spy film tone. Two teams, RED and BLU, play with nine classes in three roles: Scout, Soldier and Pyro attack, Demoman, Heavy and Engineer defend, and Medic, Sniper and Spy support. Each has its own weapons and strengths, and teams need a balance of classes. Modes include Attack and Defend, Capture the Flag, Control Points, King of the Hill and Payload, in which BLU pushes an explosive cart along a track while RED stops it and each checkpoint adds time to the BLU clock. It laid the groundwork for the hero shooter. Nine classes with distinct strengths and weaknesses, and teams that need a mix of them, still make every match about who plays what today.
