Beginners Guide to playing TD2K teamplay mode:

Joining a game:
When you connect to a teamplay server, you will connect as a chasecam.  If a game is in progress you may chasecam players at will by hitting fire, or press jump to switch to other players.

Entering the Bazaar/Joining a Team:
At this point you can hit tab or (invuse) to be transported to the bazaar.  Once youre in the bazaar, you'll be facing the team selection numbers (a large 1, and 2)  Simply aim at the number and you'll be shown the team name, and current members of that team.  Single click to join the team number you're looking at.  (Note: nobody has a player model in the bazaar, you will be invisible.)

Purchasing Items:
Once you're on a team, you should head into the back rooms of the bazaar.  There you will find shelves of weapons, weapon upgrades and power-ups that you can purchase (you were given a default amount of money by joining a team).  To purchase an item, just point and click.  Some items might be sold out, or cost more money (bchips) than you have.

Bazaar Timer:
In the upper left hand corner of your screen you will see a timer.  That is the bazaar timer, and when it reaches 0, the round will start, and you will be pulled out of the bazaar, and placed in the map. So shop quick! but you'll be able to get back to the bazaar between every round.

Bazaar People:
The other people in the bazaar serve specific functions:

The Cashier (large male model): will exchange bchips for your frags, sell your frags, and buy more stuff. He will also buy your weapons and items back for half their current cost.

Pigkiller (the female): offers to sell you drugs (increased speed, no limping), or guidance service (you spawn alone in a special place).

Blackmarket (small male model): will sell you discounted weapons (some of which are defective).  He will also let you gamble for a chance to win big money, as well as offering a sabotage service.  You can attempt to sabotage enemies' weapons for the next round. However, he is not always successful at sabotaging, only 50% of the time.

Exiting the Bazaar:
If you're done shopping before the Bazaartimer runs out, you can exit the bazaar by walking up the stairs and out the door.  You will be a chasecam until the round starts.  Exiting the bazaar is a good thing, if all players on both teams exit before the Bazaartimer reaches 10, the round starts immediately since everyone is ready.

Round Started:
When you spawn in the round, you have 5 seconds to get ready.  You can basically only run around, you cannot fire, and you are invincible.  During this time you'll see the message "It's Dyin Time".  After that message is displayed, the 
round starts, and you'll have full control of your player.  You should never shoot your own team members.  You spawn with your team, and you all look exactly the same.

Bandaging, and reloading:
If you get shot, and you're not killed, you might have a chance to stop your bleeding by typing "bandage" in the console (you should bind a key).  YOu can only bandage if you have a stimpack, and you are given at least 1 at the beginning of every round.  Bandaging also heals limping. Ankle sprains heal themselves after a short time, and limping ultimately heals itself too, but takes much longer to get over.  Heart and lung damage are incurable.

If you run out of bullets, you'll need to reload your gun by typing "reload" in the console(you should bind a key).  You only have a few clips/bullets so use them wisely.  Some weapons reload on a one-by-one basis, others are clip based and reload a full clip at a time.

Dying:
When you die, you'll become a ghost/chasecam.  You can chasecam other players until the end of the round, at which time, everyone will be taken back to the bazaar.

Back in the bazaar:
The bazaar timer will be running again, so get your shopping done and get out.  Try some new services, cash in your frags if you have them.  At this point, the whole process continues until one team reaches the pointlimit (default is 10 points)
