WF is a class-based, team-oriented, multiplayer game which started life as a Quake 2 clone of Quake 1: Team Fortress, but soon evolved from there. Over the years, WF has been ported to many different game engines including HL2.
Gameplay
WF for HL2 (aka WF2) features class based-based gameplay. What this means is that a player chooses the type of player he wishes to be. Each class has its advantages and disadvantages. For example, the marine class is fairly fast, moderately armored and is armed with a rocket launcher and various types of grenades. He is considered to be an attack class, but he can defend equally well. On the other hand, the gunner class features heavier armor and weaponry but is slower in movement. This makes the gunner better suited for defense where she doesn't have to do a lot of running around. Other classes include the engineer who can build things; the nurse who can heal teammates and poison enemies; the cyborg who can penetrate heavy defenses and lay waste to large areas with his plasma bomb; and the spy who can either cloak or disguise himself as the enemy to secretly gain access into enemy strongholds. Other classes are being planned, but haven't been fully defined yet.
The gameplay in WF2 is varied. It's main mode is Capture the flag. But WF2 also supports Team Deathmatch, Team Extermination, Domination, Attack/Defend, and Last Man Standing. The game mode is determined by map and is automatically switched when the map is loaded.
