Server Spotlight: MCTF2!

Hi guys!

Mario here with another Server Spotlight!

This time it's MCTF2. Now, what does MCTF2 stand for? Minecraft Team Fortress 2, that's what! If you don't know what Team Fortress 2 is, you've either never heard of it or you're insane enough to not see what it is. TF2 is a first-person shooter which consists of nine classes. Well, now, it comes to Minecraft. Someone asked 'Why would someone make this when you can download the actual game for free?' and your answer, my friend, is you need an AWESOME graphics card to run the game at about 40 or 50 fps. So this helps because Minecraft is made up of a bunch of 16x16 pixel blocks!

So, now for the classes:

SCOUT: Scout doesn't get any armor, and get's an Iron Sword and a Wool Block to represent team. The Scout also gets a constant Speed II potion effect. Scouts do double the melee damage other classes do, so watch out for them. Remember to run away in random directions so Snipers and Heavys can't kill you.
SOLDIER: Soldier is the default class of the server. Soldier gets Chain Armor, an Iron Sword, 4 Eyes of Ender and a Wool Block to represent team. Right-clicking the Eyes of Ender will launch a rocket, just like the Rocket Launcher in the original game.
PYRO: Pyro gets Iron Chestplate, Leather Leggings and Leather Boots. He gets an Iron Axe (melee weapon), Flint and Steel, 196 fire and a Wool Block to represent team. Right-clicking the Flint and Steel will launch a piece of Fire, and if the Fire hits any enemy they will set on fire. Hitting an enemy that is on fire with the axe does massive melee damage.
DEMOMAN: Demoman gets Leather Tunic, Leather Leggings and Diamond Boots. He also gets some Magma Cream, 16 gunpowder, an Iron Sword and a Wool Block to represent team. Left-clicking the Magma Cream will launch some Rose Red or Lapis Lazuli (depends on team) and you can right-click the Magma Cream to explode them. You can only have 8 stickys on at once, remember!
HEAVY: Heavy gets Diamond Armor, a Bow, 196 arrows and a Wool Block to represent team. Right-clicking or holding right-click will fire 3 arrows at a time, and it is quite easy to kill people with. Heavy is the only class that Snipers cannot get a one-hit kill on with a fully drawn-back Bow. However, Heavy gets Slowness!
ENGINEER: Engineer isn't finished yet, but at the moment gets 2 Potions of Swiftness, a Stone Sword and a Wool Block to represent team. At the moment, the Engineer cannot build any dispensers/sentries/teleporters.
MEDIC: Medic gets Gold Armor, 10 Splash Potions of Healing I, a Wood Sword and a Wool Block to represent team. I have found Medics more useless than they are in the actual game. They heal half a heart per splash potion. However, if you want to go hardcore with only a Wood Sword and Gold Armor, than this is your class.
SNIPER: Sniper gets Iron Armor, a Bow of Power V, 16 arrows, a Wood Sword and a Wool Block to represent team. Snipers get instant kills with a fully-drawn-back Bow on any class except Heavy, and with a fully drawn-back Bow, a two-hit kill on Heavy. Very good for people looking for a class similar to an Archer.
SPY: Spy gets an Iron Sword, a Clock, a Book, 8 Glowstone Dust and a Wool Block to represent team. Right clicking the clock will make the player go invisible, however, you let off a stream of black dust wherever you go. The Glowstone Dust represents the charge of the clock, and this runs down as you turn invisible. Right-clicking the book will disguise you as a different player. However, you can easily be spotted by the player you're disguised as, and then they kill you. Your sword will turn golden when you can do a backstab, and backstabs are instant kills!

But wait, there might be more! They even have healing stations!

Iron Bars represent the bottle of pills. They restore all ammo, but very little health.
Gold Bars represent the medical box. They restore all ammo, and a decent amount of heath.
Diamonds represent the big first-aid kit. They restore all ammo, and all health as well!

There are also different gamemodes:
Control Point - The aim is for one team to capture the Control Points from the other team. 
TIP: Scouts capture twice as fast as any other class.
Capture the Intel - The aim is to take the opponent's intel and return it to your own.
TIP: Scout, Heavy and Demomen can be powerful classes, ideal for this gamemode.
Team Deathmatch - First team to 40 kills wins!
TIP: Play your best class for killing people with.
King of the Hill - First team to keep the hill for 3 minutes wins!
TIP: Demomen can place stickies on the hill, and when another team goes to take it, BOOM!

Hope you enjoyed this server review! IPs will be below the sign-off!
