I wouldn’t really compare it to TF2 too much. Though the objectives are the same, the variation of character abilities distances itself enough from TF2 to stand on its own as a team based shooter with entirely different mechanics.

I live in Florida, its not as bad as the news makes it. The same things happen here as most other states, the only reason you hear about it more is because of our sunshine laws which makes  criminal cases and information regarding them public.
