5 Introduction v Introduction Team Fortress 2 is a multiplayer video game that was created by Valve Software and is a firstperson shooter. Team Fortress 2 breaks up game play between nine classes that each have their own play styles and have many different weapons that must be used correctly in order to win matches. Generally, each character has 3 types of weapons that they can use at a time: a Primary, Secondary, and Melee weapon. These classes include the Scout, Soldier, Pyro, Demoman, Heavy, Engineer, Medic, Sniper, and Spy. These classes are broken up even further into offensive, defensive and support roles. This guide will teach you basic information about each class, the many uses of their weapons, and some basic technique so that you can comfortably jump in game and start playing online. About this Guide Platform and controls This game is available on Xbox 360, Playstation 3, and PC. The platform that is used in this guide is the PC, therefore any examples and controls that are shown in the guide will be from perspective of what is on a PC. The keyboard controls in this manual are the default buttons that came with game and look like this:

9 Chapter 1 3 Chapter 1: The Scout Role and Health (HP): Offense 125 HP Description: The scout is a small and quick character with a big mouth. Always full of himself, he uses his speed to run faster than any other character in the game, and has the ability to perform a second jump (or double jump) while in midair.

Atomic Punch Melee 3 Bat Mouse1 - The Sandman Fire Button Clip Size/ Total Ammo i Mouse1 2/32 Mouse1 - Mouse1 - Scatter Gun The Scatter Gun is the Scouts Primary weapon. It is a shotgun-like weapon with a large amount of power at close range. The further away an enemy is, the less damage the Scatter Gun will do to them, because the group of bullets will spread out. The best way to use the Scatter Gun is to constantly stay moving and jumping when you are shooting an enemy. Get in and do as much damage as possible and try to escape if you start to get hurt.
