Fast paced fighting outside bases, high speed flag caps. The game also takes a lot of teamwork so each class has to complete certain roles for flag caps to happen. For example, an infiltrator would destroy the generator leaving the raider to clear flag stand and base defenses so a pathfinder can get flag. Also, the game takes into account the distance a bullet has to travel so you have to take into account a persons speed. I dunno about TF2 but that's something that games like COD don't have.

oh so bullets don't move at realistic speeds in this game? Anyways is there some kind of incentive you get for playing like in game money or finding weapons and stuff/leveling up?

Hes saying the opposite. The bullets travel AT realistic speeds given large distances. Cods physics make the bullets instantly hit someone at any distance.

ohh. I was thinking like era except faster or like soldier's direct hit rocket speed. Thanks. and thanks fp4 for the copy pasta I should have just googled it xD  

bump, the starter pack that is normally $20 is on sale for $5 today through steam. It's not needed to play but it has some nice benifits.
