THE LEGACY OF TEAM FORTRESS
Team Fortress (1999)
Team Fortress 2 (2007)
Once upon a time, there was a rich man who lived alone. On his death bed, he gave his land to his two sons, but did not divide it, leaving the two to split it themselves.
Unfortunately, as brothers are liable to do (believe me, I know), they fought over the land. The feud lasted decades, with neither brother wanting to give up any land.
But it wasn't until they started hiring mercenaries to wage war against each other that things really got out of hand.
This lead to the team up of an unlikely group of elite soldiers, ranging from nimble and agile soldiers like The Scout, to walking tanks like The Heavy, all in competition for land.
But, as the Microsoft Elite will show this team, there is more land in the world they're going to have to fight for.
Moveset
XNeutral- Scout hits foes with his baseball bat.
XTilt- Pyro hits foes with his fire axe.
XUp- Soldier detonates a rocket at his feet to launch himself into the air, tackling everyone he hits.
XDown- Scout fires the Scattergun.
YNeutral- The Medic heals the team. This is a high risk attack, as the Medic likes to take his time while healing.
YTilt- The Heavy fires his minigun. He will stop every five seconds to enjoy a Samvich.
YUp- The Demoman fires his grenade launcher.
YDown- The Spy cloaks himself. This will take effect for the entire team, until an attack is used, or ten seconds pass.
Special Move 1
Pyro hits foes with his Neon Anihilator.
Special Move 2
Scout drinks a can of Bonk! Atomic Punch. This high sugar content, radioactive drink prevents Scout from using any weapons for eight seconds due to the jitters, although he can still damage foes with his home run taunt, but he cannot be hit during this time, setting up a perfect opportunity to heal.
Special Move 3
The Engineer deploys a Wrangler, a manually controlled sentry gun with a shield at the front which reduces damage taken. Can be used for 20 seconds.
Special Move 4
A pile of exploding barrels are dropped onto the stage, while the Sniper (from behind the stage) shoots them to cause a massive explosion. The Scout can survive this with no adverse effects, while all other classes will take damage.
Assistance (SD) (E)
The Engineer- The final member of Team Fortress, Engineer can use standard weaponry, but his main weaponry comes from his arsenal of turrets and other machines he can place around the battlefield.
Elite Factor
Fortress Siege- The team storms the stage, with every member of Team Fortress doing what they do best (Heavy fires his minigun without pause, Scout chases foes with his baseball bat, etc.) to deal as much damage as possible to opponents.

Author's Note
What is it with Valve and their inability to complete a trilogy? Unless they're planning a sequel to The Orange Box that has Portal 3, Counter-Strike 3, Left 4 Dead 3, Dota 3, Team Fortress 3 and Half Life 3 that is so astoundingly good that everyone starts to worship Gabe Newell as a God.
As for Team Fortress, I love it. The gameplay is fun for a start, but the humor is what does it for me. The team really does feel like a team, and I like the exaggerated traits of every character constantly clashing with one another.
