I quite fancy giving TF2 ago, but am unsure whether it's too late to get into it or not?

I've never used steam and wondered whether I can download and install steam and purchase TF2 through steam which appears to be cheaper ($'s) than purchasing TF2 from a retailer.

Is this possible and is it worth giving a go?
Are there any region restrictions if I download and install Steam and TF2 such as being restricted to US based servers?

Thanks.
 
It's a very (imo, overly) simple game so I'm sure you'll be able to get into it quickly and compete against the many plebs playing it (not saying everyone who plays it is, but there are some awful players out there).

You won't have any country server restrictions either.
 
Go for it, get it through steam and give it a go. Serious it isn't, depth of gameplay - no, but it is a whole heap of fun, just dont expect to stay alive very long, and remember you can always change your character mid game depending on what you think you need to do.
try dustbowl as your first map - its small and quite easy
 
its absolutely awesome. best game ive ever played, its unique charm, humour, and gameplay to back it up is simple perfect.

make sure you get the orange box, its definitely worth it.

As above, on public servers, the gameplay depth isnt as deep as some games, but it does go quite far if you play classes such as the spy. Play clan wars and its a whole different game, loads of skill needed.

its pretty good, but nothing more than a bit of fun now and again, i get bored of it fast, die loads, and then it becomes not very fun.

if your after skill based game, id stear clear, but if your after a fun game, its pretty good fun.

deffinatley get the orange box though, hl2 + ep1 + ep2 are amazing single player games, as is portal.
 
You'll have a lot of fun playing it. It's only a tenner so just buy it and see, you wont be disappointed.
 
TF2 is superb. Great fun, loads of action, with all the classes there's plenty of choice and loads to keep you interested :)

Definately not one to miss out on.
 
Very good game and it is easy to play, but to get the most out of it takes a lot of practice to get to a high level. Look on you tube for some of the scouting videos to give you a idea of what can be done with no grens.
 
Great game, and while I can agree with some that on the surface it is simple, theres depth to be found with various classes if you put the time in. It's easy to see a skill boundry on public servers when you start to recognise names from previous games.
