game_text_tf is a point entity available in 
Team Fortress 2. Similar to game_text, it is an entity that displays text on players' screens. The text is displayed in a colored box with an optional image texture next to it. This text can be defined directly in the Hammer editor. This entity is suitable for standalone maps, if they are not to be localized.
