Just jump into TF2, trust me. I thought I was going to do way better at first because I had done some running around with FEAR Combat. Um, no.

The gameplay is way different (in a good way) from most shooters I've played. It has cartoon-like proportions, if that is any indication. You have some classes that run twice as fast (or more) as others, and you have huge disparities between weapon power and abilities, ranges, effects, etc. If you haven't read up any on how TF2 works, you should. HL2 will give you some basic training, but advanced tactics will only be picked up in game.

Hope to see you on some time. Could use another newb.
