First off, is the learning curve. In regards to individual play, once you master the basics of the game there is not much further that you can go. In a game like ET, if you are a better aimer than another person you will win almost every time. In TF2 there is little skill involved in aiming. Let me explain to you what I mean by this:
-The first class is the pyro. It is just like the flamethrower from ET. No aiming involved
-Next is the engineer. His main ability is to set up turrets that shoot for him. No aiming involved.
-Next is the spy. His job is to turn invisible, or become disguised. After he does that he sneaks up behind an enemy and stabs him in the back. No aim necessary.
-Fourth we have the heavy. The heavy has a massive machine gun that has more spray than a sprinkler. As long as you are anywhere near an enemy with your crosshair you will ventilate him with wildly flying bullets.
-Next is the demoman. This is my favorite class. He has a gun that shoots very similarly to the Rnade in ET, but of course it takes multiple hits to kill someone. I like this gun because if you arc the shot so that the grenade actually hits your enemy, it explodes on contact doing a lot of damage. Some aiming, but it sure as hell isn't the same type of aiming you see in ET.
-Sixth we have the medic. His main job is to take out a big healing ray and constantly heal his teammates. He has a secondary weapon but it isn't even worth mentioning because it is so useless. He doesn't even need to shoot let alone aim.
-Seventh is the scout, and here is a class that might involve some skill. He is extremely fast and he is equipped with the weak shotgun that most classes use as a secondary weapon. If you can shoot while jumping around like a monkey then this class might be fun, but in my experience the scout has such a lack of health that he is pretty much raped on the battlefield.
-Eighth is the soldier who shoots big quake-style rockets. For quake players who liked rockets, this is a good class, but for someone who likes guns there is not much here.
-Finally we have the sniper. He is probably the most useless class in the game, but hey, if you get a headshot while zoomed then it is an instant kill!
