===What is competitive TF2===
 
* 6v6 is 2 scouts, 2 soldiers, 1 demoman, 1 medic
 
** <imagery/videos of each?>
 
** why this combination of classes in 6v6?
 
** roles of each class, briefly -> direct to class pages
 
* 9v9 is one of every class
 
** roles of each class -> direct to class pages
 
 
===How a competitive game is played===
 
<video here pls> (maybe this one [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hts1uTjd6mc eXtv: Intro to Competitive TF2])
 
* logistics
 
** map types
 
***(the Push/KOTH/AD pages better explain what the common strategies for each mode are)
 
** types of scoring
 
* how to play the game
 
** rollouts
 
** midfights
 
 
<pre>I can already see the above area becoming too involved

[[6v6]] page? though it also applies to 9v9... HELP -maxim</pre>
 
 
* how to think about the game
 
** advantages/disadvantages
 
** decision making
 
** <insert framed quotes from the many forum posts that have been written on this topic>
 
*** perhaps see [http://ozfortress.com/showthread.php?t=37375 bowt] or [http://ozfortress.com/showthread.php?t=50876 yuki]
 
 
<pre>maybe thinking about the game can be moved to under a
 
[[metagame]] page, so we can keep this section brief? -maxim</pre>
 
 
===Game optimisation===
 
* performance
 
** see [http://asiafortress.com/index.php/index.html/_/guides/setting-up-and-customisation-r38 asia fortress guide] & [http://atf2l.org/articles/tutorials/setting-up-your-game-r17/ atf2l guide]
