Team Fortress Classic (TFC), developed and published by Valve, is one of the earliest examples of a successful class-based multiplayer shooter, and it remains a foundational piece of gaming history.
Gameplay

TFC offers one-of-a-kind exciting fast paced gameplay with tons of tactics and ways of playing the game.
Combat

21 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Soldier: I recommend this class to new players, as he has a good mix of speed(on the slower side, but still nimble for combat), strong weapons(Rocket Launcher and Super Shotgun), and good health/armour combination.
Characters
Players who bring up Characters mostly praise it.
17 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Each class feels distinct, and their abilities complement each other in meaningful ways.
Co-op
Players who bring up Co-op mostly praise it.
11 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
However, if you play with large groups of friends and/or are willing to find the right online communities, it's a very fun time.
Difficulty

6 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
If you are willing to look past the pixelated graphics and embrace the steep learning curve, you will find one of the deepest, most satisfying shooters ever made.
