Team Fortress 2 is a multiplayer class-based first-person shooter created by Valve Software. It is available as part of The Orange Box suite of games on PC, Xbox 360, and PlayStation 3, or as a stand-alone title on the digital distribution service Steam.

Nine classes are grouped into three categories: offense, defense, and support. One difference between Team Fortress 2 and the original is that each class is more unique. Abilities have been added, changed and removed from each class to make each one a completely different playing experience. The most prominent of these changes is the removal of conc jumping and grenades (primary and secondary, with the exception of the demoman). The classes in Team Fortress 2 are:
