'Dustbowl' and 'Gravel Pit' feature assault-type gameplay were one team is placed in the offensive and the other in defense. On 'Granary' and 'Well' the teams need to capture all five control points in a chain (much like in Dark Messiah of Might & Magic) in order to win. On the remake of the TFC-map '2Fort' you play old-school CTF. To use all these classes the release version of the game features six maps with different gameplay modes. The spy is instead more of a loner and disguises himself as the enemy in order to infiltrate them and make instant melee-kills. If he does so long enough the medic can then trigger an Übercharge which makes both targets invulnerable for a few seconds. While the Heavy Weapons Guy has his mini-gun and moves slowly over the map, the medic stays in the background and uses his healing beam to assist the Heavy.
Each class has a different set of weapons and abilities. The game features nine classes which cover all the classics from the original game including the Heavy Weapons Guy, the Pyro and the Spy. Team Fortress 2 is the successor of Team Fortress Classic and is also a class-based multiplayer team shooter.
