    Should I buy TF2?

    I'm a hardcore sim / RTS gamer and have rarely played FPS type games. A long, long time ago I did play the original TF (at work) and it was fun so I'm thinking maybe it would be worth it to plunk down the $20 and buy it. Is the gameplay fairly easy to pickup and could I be mildly competitive...
