Q: Tell us about the features of the game.
A: 9 classes: Scout, soldier, pyro, Demoman, heavy, engineer, medic, sniper, spy. Each has its own pros and cons. Now more about each.

1. A scout must always be in motion, because it has great speed and a double jump. Well suited to capture points captures them 2 times faster. Minus scout that doesn't deal a lot of damage and lives he has only 125.

2. Soldiers are slow, but has 200 lives and causing huge damage. Minus his Bazooka that missiles fly slowly and it is necessary to calculate the trajectory of the enemy. It is most efficient to shoot down - a high probability that the enemy pokazhetsya.

3. Pyro is fast enough and has a deadly weapon - Napalm spray. Useful in places where enemies.
The disadvantage is that the effective destruction it is necessary to approach the enemy almost close.

4. The bomber also has good speed, but its main feature is a grenade launcher with grenades and a grenade launcher with sticky bombs. The first one is useful in battle, explode on enemy contact or after a few seconds. The second weapon is useful to stick round a point, whoever gets in it, by pressing the right mouse button will turn into a bloody mess. The downside of soldier is that you need to calculate the trajectory of the enemy as grenades fly slow. Also the Demoman is pretty weak in melee.

5. Heavy. Its 300 lives and a powerful gun are doing their job, but not at long range. Also the heavy is very slow and if you open fire, so do the turtle. Ammunition for the machine guns often end up in the wrong time, it is also a minus.

6. Engineer. Useful in defense. Can build a dispenser to heal and take ammo. Turrets in the right location become a deadly weapon. Also the engineer can build a teleporter to slow the soldier and the gunner was able to get to the hot spot.

7. Medic is very useful in conjunction with a machine gunner. One cure, another cripple. Medic is very easy to kill, so it's best to treat from the corner. Weapons the medic is really bad. Syringe gun has weak and needlebar, single - saw, cuts the enemy with one or 2 times. Also the medic has an uber-charge, it is gradually accumulated in the treatment of teammates. Moreover, the stronger wounded comrade, the faster it accumulates uber. To charge myself and partner uber - you need to click on the right mouse button, then the two of you for a few seconds become invulnerable.

8. Sniper. Has a killer rifle with cartridges. The problem with this weapon is that when aiming visible laser (to burn - in 2 accounts), and charge for an effective shot should be accumulated. The gun the sniper is weak, 25 rounds in the magazine is also not going to benefit.

9. Spy. Can masquerade as any of the units of the enemy. In his Arsenal powerful enough revolver, deadly folding knife (1 Backstab - 1 dead), the device for setting the bugs on distributors, turrets and teleporters of the enemy, the cloak that makes invisible for a while. Cons of this class that lives too little.

Q: I Bought a license from the beeches before you left for some time in abroad. Put here can not play. Steam says that this area play I'm not supposed. The Russian, here and play in Russia. You can play the game even offline to run in any way?
A: No. According to the rules of Valve play is possible only in the region where the game is purchased (written on the box). All this only applies to the licensed version.
