Team Fortress 2 is an interesting game for
players who want some strategy and adventure mixed in their games instead of
only slaying and killing enemies. The Team Fortress 2 like its predecessors is
focused around two opposing teams competing for a common objective. These two
teams are meant to represent one demolition and the other construction company.
The two teams of Team Fortress 2 are Builders League United
(BLU) and Reliable Excavation and Demolition (RED). Players have the choice to
play as one of the nine classes of the team and each would have their own
unique strengths and weaknesses. The abilities of number of classes in the new
Team Fortress 2 have already changed from earlier Team Fortress incarnations,
but the basic elements of each class have remained the same.
When a player joins the new Team Fortress 2 an introductory
video would guide them how to accomplish the mission and get its objective
fulfilled. Players limit are 24 in PC and in some other servers and platforms
the player levels have been increased to 32 and 16 only in Xbox 360 and
PlayStation 3. This is the first of Valve's multiplayer game to provide you detailed
statistics for individual players. Persistent statistics in Team Fortress 2
also features the method to tell players how to improve relations to these
statistics. Besides that the Team Fortress 2 features various achievements to
carry out certain tasks like competing in certain time, scoring certain number
of kills.
The main objective for both the team to is to obtain a
briefcase of intelligence from the enemy's team base and return to own base
while preventing the other team from doing the same thing. The interesting
phase of the game is after the brief case is obtained. A lot of strategy and action
is required to save the brief case from opposing party.
How to Rent a Game Server:
Steam games have been rising meteorically in
popularity, and so are game servers. A game server is a remotely operated
dedicated server utilized by game server providers or clients to allow one or
more persons to play in the same game environment at the same time. This is
also referred to as multiplayer video games. Among the common games played
online are:
Call of Duty Servers
Battlefield Servers
Left4Dead Servers
Americas Army Servers
Day of Defeat
Swat 4
Just to name a few as there are 1000's of online games to
play.
Server Performance
The performance and quality of the server greatly depends on
the network bandwidth and system setup. Broadband Internet connections used at
home have major limitations in operating game servers, even with just four to
ten players. In fact, it can even put too much stress on the computer, which
definitely means poor game performance and quality. This is greatly due to the
simultaneous complex roles that a computer must perform such as computing the
needed data. The computer itself cannot function well considering that it has
to monitor, sort out and distribute network data to other players and process
data for 3D graphics.
Generally, game servers are classified as dedicated servers
and listen servers. A dedicated server is usually run by providers using
dedicated hardware positioned in data centers to provide higher bandwidth for
better processing performance. This is the commonly used type especially by
pc-based multi-players. For easier control of the game, it can also be operated
on network servers for a bigger environment and more players.
That is why there is a need for a good company to have a
system that can process data fast and easy. Most providers use dual quad core
servers and they are not your average desktop pc. A provider that has several
data centers is a good choice, although you may have to pay higher prices for
the rental fees. Moreover, this is one of the commonly used game server set-ups
by online gamers.
