Editing Team Fortress 2 (section)

===Mercenary===
{{topquote|Alright, who's the wise guy who just signed his own death warrant!?|The man born to be wild.}}

Although primarily featured in the fan-game of the fan-game of the game, the '''Mercenary''', also known as '''Merc''', is the star of '''Open Fortress''' and could very well be featured in '''TF2 Classic'''. The Merc is as much of a mystery as spy, as neither his name, age, origin or even motive is known. What we do know of him is that he's a massive movie nerd, oftentimes quoting his favorite films when fragging people, and usually likes acting like hot shit. He's also the only class you can play (usually) in the Quake-style deathmatch mode of the game.

As a class, the Mercenary would be considered to be a '''generalist'''. Having access to tons of different guns and having the innate ability to naturally bunny-hop throughout the map without having to deal with TF2's inner code "preventing" such exploits. In Classic Mode, the Merc is either equipped with a tommy-gun or a shotgun. He uses a revolver for a secondary, and a crowbar for a melee. He's... Very average. As in, he doesn't strike as a unique class among the others. With that being said however, his b-hopping abilities make him a very viable asset to his team. The only thing preventing him from dominating the other enemy team being the map he's on, or sentry nests.

Of course, him being the sole character playable in regular deathmatch, he's just average. He can gather "pills" that greatly enhance his healthpool and his overheal takes more time to drain. He isn't great or bad in this mode, he's just what everyone uses. All of his weapons are especially busted, and some are variations of existing ones used by other classes. For example, he can use a rocket-launcher with enhanced practically in regards to rocket-jumping, a railgun that doubles itself as either a sniper rifle or a regular one-shotting railgun, a minigun that takes less time to rev up, a SUPER SHOTGUN, a double-barreled with a hook to catch other players, etc. etc.

<u>Pros</u>:
* You're average in every concievable way, but you're very versatile.
* ''BUILT-IN'', '''ENHANCED''', '''SUPPORTED''' B-HOPPING. This will allow you to speedrun your way throughout entire maps without the use of any weapons, making you just as fast (if not faster) than a Scout.
* Your overheal drains out slower than normal.
* You have access to a plethora of weapons, some of which are overhauled weapons of other classes specifically redesigned for you...

<u>Cons</u>:
*... but they're only available in Deathmatch.
* Well, in general, Deathmatch is the only mode in which the Merc truly shines. Mostly because he's the only one featured.
